CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Wheat-Wheat
| traders are still exhibiting confusion.
Those who are bearish see POSSIBLE
tiles of break in the foreign political
situation and In the large acreage
sown this fall to winter. Those who
are bullish regard the market - COM
pletely liqMdated as though peace had
occurred. and point to the low condi-
ton of the growing winter wheat crop
as more than offsetting the larger
acreage. The government places the
condition at S5.7 per cent, as compared
cent, showing that this Is the lowest
condition In December wheat, which
was taken by traders to indicate that
liquidation in that delivery was COM
plete. The visible supply will show,
some increase for the week on account
OF the inclusion of stocks Sloat at
Buffalo. but the Increase will be small
as compared with last year when
lover eleven million bushels was added.
The buying side on, breaks is recon-
mended.
Corn-Corn was strong throughout
the morning. without regard to weak
spots in other grains. December
shorts bid that delivery up to near
the price OF May and cash houses
were good buyers Of the May delivery.
The cash situation is strong and will
continue to be a supporting factor.
Oats-Commission houses continue
/! to sell oats and their offerings are well
absorbed by warehouses and shipping
interests. Both domestic and export
demand are expected soon to show
national Improvement. The move
ment to market is heavy and on ac-
count of their relative cheapness, larg-
er amounts than normal have been
fed. The outlook looks hu!l!sh.
