CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Wheat-Bearish
news, which included lower Argentine
cables and reports of purchases OF
Canadian wheat by Minneapolis inter-
|ests, was Offset by large export Gales
again today and the buying OF futures
against this export business. The
temper OF the trade early today was
bearish and throughout much OF the
morning, prices ranged lower. By
midday, however, the loss had been
recovered and the average was
shade higher than last nights close.
The Modern Miller called attention to
the reduced acreage in soft winter
wheat states and to the fact that the
qualify of seed this year Is rather poor.
The market seems to lack definite d.
rection at the present, but the supply
and demand situation seems to indi-
cate higher prices later on.
Corn-The expectation Of increased
receipts led to heavy selling Of corn
after a strong opening; but on the
resulting break, there was a good gen.
eral demand for the deferred deliver
les from commission houses and for
the December from the cash interests.
There are strong indications OF export
business. although up to noon no fig
ures were available. The first run Of
now corn will not be much of bear
factoT, because of scarcity Of supplies
in the hands of shippers, jobbers and
industries.
nofc-Pnov UcN-
only temporary effect because cash
houses were the best buyers. The
scarcity of cars is interfering with
shipments from terminal markets and
so bng as this situation obtains, there
Is little probability of bull market.
Grain Review.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Bearish influ-
ence pressed all grain lower on the
exchange today after an opening at
figures close to those of yesterdays
close. Long wheat was on tap from
the start and buying power was
limited. Rain in Argentine and pur-
chases by Northwest Millers of Cana
dian wheat at lower prices than do
nestle grain were depressing factors.
December wheat, which opened I'M
changed today from yesterdays close
was down "a at 1855; May was
down Il at 168A, and July down 4
at 149A.
Corn declined on general selling
and reports Of fine weather over the
corn belt. December was down Is at
865s, and May down y at ssh.
Oats fell of slightly. December
was down u at "a and May down %
at 577s.
Provisions were lower, due to the
weakness in hogs.
