Chicago OF the grain
trade last night was a little bearish.
Traders expect something sensational
| is likely to happen which may involve
this country in fresh political troub-
les. They believe that it will depress
values for the time being. ultimately
they say, higher prices are expected.
Those who sold oats yesterday said
they regarded the advance as suffl-
Gent for the present. They want to
see the oats moved out Of Chicago and
out of the country faster before stick
ing longer to the bull side. Custom Of
ficiaIs at New York have placed a ban
on all news of shipments. It is be-
lieved that reports of exports hereaf-
ter will be considerably delayed. Crop
