4 CHICAGO, Oct. Conflicting re-
ports in regard to weather conditions
in the Argentine caused irregularity
! and an easier tone to the market early
today. On every minor dip there was
/ buying Of good sized quantities OF both
May and December wheat. which was
credited to export account. Although
1 export interests claimed rising ocean
freight rates were interfering with
business. it is believed good sized
quantity was worked for export Ger
tainly, there was q good inquiry here
| Tor scattered lots OF cash wheat In
store. It is not likely that Argentine
news will be as important factor In
price making as the shortage OF cash.
4 which Is no longer mere possibility,
but serious fact that must be reck-
oned with shortly.
Coma moderate yield Of corn is
Indicated, reports from the country
asserting that a small amount of
early husking for feeding purposes
has disclosed q lower condition than
expected. The leading bull interest
has no difficulty apparently, in dis
posing OF all the cash corn that is
available for quick loading, and he
continues to take spot arrivals at
gradually advancing prices. The
speculative public in general seem de-
termined to sell corn both on bulges
and breaks. The buying side looks
| safest
Oats-Oats continued 70 attract lit
tie attention and the range was very
narrow. The owners Of the large
visible supply seem perfectly willing
to stand on their commitments, so
that it seems reasonable to infer that
they have AN outlet for whatever sur
plus they are able to accumulate.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.--Wheat was
easier today. Buying was less active
and there were liberal offerings De-
cember was down - at 1853, and May
down * at 1914.
Corn opened steady, but eased off
during later trading. December was
unchanged at Is, and May down q at
TIKI.
Oats were in demand, but quite
heavy offerings served to keep prices
down. Oats for December were down
rs at 48A and May down n at 51M.
Provisions drew higher prices, al
though there was break in opening
pork prices over yesterday.
