GRAIN FUTURES
SHOW STRENGTH.
ON STOCK MART

Chicago. Nov. 81. -Inftial strength
was shown In III grain futures 1t
the opening q today's session Of
the Chicago board Of trade. I'm
usually large export sales, further
buying for that account, big trad
ing at Canadian centers, . falling
on In northwestern receipts, re-
duced acreage In Kansas and re-
ports Of very light country offer
ings ct Kansas City combined to
bring about fractional advances 1t
the start One report had It that
gulf export sales Of more than g.
0O0, 900 bushels were recorded yes
terday and that there were further
foreign acceptances after the mar
ket closed. Southern Europe was
given ~ the principal buyer, it be-
ing understood that the British food
commission had abandoned Ameri-
can markets for Canadian because
of the foreign exchange situation.
December wheat opened III to
TX cents higher at $1.54. to $1.55.
with March practically unchanged
at $1.48 to $1.48h. On the buying,
December worked to $1.54h and
then jumped to $1.56, while March
showed a greater relative gain by
touching $1.52.
Light offerings on the advance
and persistent commission house
buying tended to keep the market
on an upward trend. The close was
fairly steady at 1.55h to 1.55X for
December and 1.51H to 1.51h for
March.
Corn and oats followed slowly in
the wake Of the wheat rally, their
firmness being accented by con-
tinued short covering through COM
mission houses. December corn
opened unchanged to y cent lower
at IS to 64H cents, then rallied to
66h cents. May corn opened at
II to TN cents, progressed to 73H
cents; May oats started at 48h to
4SN cents, advancing to 48A cents.
There were some recessions in
the closing trades in corn. De-
cember went to 66Ac, but. closed
at ssh @661sc. May corn closed
at 72x077Mc.
Oats remained fairly firm, May
closing at about the top.
Provision markets were dull but
steady. Trading was light and
mostly in lard.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Wheat prices
this week have come down with
landslide force. Fifteen rural bank
failures during a fortnight period
in one of the biggest Of the wheat
growing states, North Dakota, were
more or less responsible. Compared
with a week ago. wheat this morn
ing showed losses ranging from
14xc to 19%c . bushel. Net
changes in corn, however, varied
only from 1xc decline to xc adj
vance, and In oats from &c setback
to &c gain, with provisions rang
ing from $3.50 fall to q rise of 15c.
Almost complete lack Of conf
dence in the bull side of the wheat
market was shown by a majority of
traders, Notwithstanding that farm
ers were said to be hauling compar-
atively little wheat to country load
ing stations. Feverish selling de-
veloped as attention on change
here focused on the disturbed gen.
eral business situation not only in
grain but In other commodities and
in manufactured goods. Activity Of
export interests concerning wheat
to be devoted largely to
taking advantage Of new declines,
and so failed for the most part to
operate as . stimulus. Word of
some distress In the -four trade at
and in cotton at Liv-
erpool attracted special notice, and
md considerable to do with the final
collapse Of the wheat market to
e1.A7 a bushel yesterday for March.
n contrasted with $2.75 when trad
ing in futures was resumed on July
Is last.
g The fact that the value Of corn
md what had already bean severed
about in half seemed to explain
,airly well their relative stability.
Acute weakness in the hog mar
let. with pre-War prices current,
sad . depressing effect on provis-
ons.r bat packers buying helped
ater TO bring about rallies.
