J. CHICAGO PRICE
Repsrted That . Great Quantity Of
Wheat ID 10 Be Bought By
This Country.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Unexpected
bearish aspects OF the government
crop report led to declines today in
the price Of corn. Gossip that Can
ada might sell q huge amount Of
wheat to the United States tended
also to act as a weakening in
fiuence. Declines, however, were
due more to lack OF support than
to any great pressure. Opening
prices. which ranged from sc to
11sc lower, with January 1887 to
1874. and May 1.31 to 1919, were
followed by . slight rally, and then
by q decided fresh setback.
Subsequently, weekend covering
BY shorts brought about upturns.
The close was nervous. at the same
as yesterdays finish to Nc lower,
with January 1.34k to 1.34M. and
Nay 1.31N to 1872.
= Oats reflected the weakness OF
corn. After opening nc to sac
lower, including May at 79K to
79ss, the market hardened a little,
but soon gave way again.
In provisions as we'll as in GER
calls the bears had the advantage.
Ffrmness in the hog market was
only temporary prop.
