CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Wheat-The
trade today was in a bearish mood
and welcomed news unfavorable to
higher prices. The bulk Of this news
was furnished by foreigners. who
need to buy supplies here. Prices
ranged lower, and at the low point,
about half OF the recent advance has
been lost Northwestern markets
again showed more strength than
ours, probably due to the fact that
rains In that territory are further de-
laying threshing operations. Export
ers are apparently neglecting our
hard winter wheat and have been sue
cessful in lowering the recent high
premiums paid. The recent activity
In the New York stock market has dt.
verted interest from our market,
which accounts for much of the dull
ness of the last few days. The i'm
portant factor to keep in mind IS the
shortage of supplies which will be-
| come more and more apparent as the
season advances.
Corn-Corn felt the easiness Of
wheat early, but later received good
| support from the leading bull interest
and by midday, was a shade higher
than last nights close. The situation
is very unusual. The majority of the
scattered trade is bearish, but the
support which some Of the larger
warehouse interests give the market
and the working Of some corn for ex-
port on every break, tend to hold the
| market firm. The buying side on
good breaks seems best.
Oats-There is no present scarcity
OF cash oats, and little incentive for
investment buying. The exporter APP
pears to be the principal holder Of
the cash article, but this will not be a
bullish factor until shipping condl
lions improve and the oats can be
moved out in larger volume. When
this occurs, oats may be bought as an
investment but, for the time being q
trading position seems advisable.
