THE MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARKET REVIEW

Chicago. Nov 23 - Authoritative
announcement that legislation for an
embargo on foOdStuffs would have
substantial backing in congress did a
good deal Wednesday to nullify the
greater part Of a sharp new advance
in the price of wheat. After rising IN
some cases as much as 5-S cents
bushel, the market turned weak and
closed unsettled at net gains of Is to
/ rs cents with December $1.S3 Is
to $1S3 IA and May $l.SS "a. Corn
finished l to l 1-2@5-S cents NY and
oats up I-8 to 1-4W3-8 cents.
Provisions closed irregular, varying
from cents off to a rise Of 10 cents.
Highest prices Of the day were
reached in the wheat pit soon after
the opening Of business and before
word had been received from Wash
ington that Chairman Fitzgerald OF
the house committee on appropriations
was taking energetic measures to push
the enactment of an embargo. RumOrs
that export transactions in wheat yes
terday had aggregated 5000. 600 BUSH
els formed the chief basis of the up
turn in values. In addition, Argentine
crop adViCes were the most bulllSh yet
at hand, doubt being expressed wheth-
er there would be any eXportable sur
plus whatever this season in Argen-
tina. After ndlrIndn FlIZgefalQ y
position was known, however. back
ward swings in prices became more
and more pronounced, and it was not
until the last half hour of the session
that any important rally took place.
Denials and export sales Of wheat
i'm the United States yesterday had
been unusually big assisted to q ma
terial extent in forcing the reaction
from the swift early advance in
prices According to current esti-
mates, Wednesdays export business
was moderate-5OO, 900 bushels.
Disappointing returns from huskers
tended to uphold corn, and so too did
bullish crop conditions in Argentine.
For the most part, though, the mar
ket was governed by the fluctuations
of wheat oats merely reflected the
changes in other gran. Trading was
light.
Provisions were higher with hogs
and grain. Demand, however. not
urgent.
