SETBACkS FOR
wheat CAUSED
BY BIG BREAKS

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Fresh setbacks
in the price Of wheat took place to-
day, Influenced more or less by big
breaks in foreign exchange. For
the most part, commission houses
were ON the selling side, and there
was no aggressive support. The
fact that receipts were light at all
points tended somewhat, however,
to check radical bearish sentiment
Opening prices which ranged from
/ to 3 cents lower, with December,
$198% to 1881, and March $1.93
to $1.93A, were followed by a slight
rally and then by a new downturn.
Subsequently, indications of ex-
pert business led to upturns. but
not Of . lasting sort The close
was unsettled, INC to 2Ac net low
er, with December 1893 to 1854
and March 1888 to 1.93h.
Corn, developed a little strength,
with shipping business and small
ness of arrivals furnishing the
stimulus. After opening Nc lower
to nc higher, including December
at S2Hc to S2%c, the market con-
tinued to harden.
Selling of May and buying Of De-
cember was a feature. The close
was nervous, Nc net lower to &c
advance, with December 83hc to
83Ac.
Oats were swayed by wheat rath-
er than corn, starting unchanged to
kc lower, May $3.50 to 5SHc, and
showing but slight power to rally.
Provisions tended downward
Notwithstanding higher quotations
on hogs. Buyers were scarce.

Decision that the East Moline

a special meeting of the congrega-

a special committee, appointed at
