WHEAT GOES DOWN ON CHICAGO EXCHANGE,
DECEMBER MARKET CLOS|NGA AT s. SO IA

fered from drough. Crop conditions
to date have been so perfect that final
reckoning will show that December is
an old crop month and as such 1t is
selling at far too great a discount un-
der the September.
Oats had an independently weak
undertone throughout the session re-
flecting the preponderance of hedging
sales which brought out liquidation
by holders of futures. Cash prices
were / cent to cents lower under
the pressure of increased receipts but
premiums held at about Saturday s
basis. The shopping demand was the
slowest in some time, 1t has been
hinted lately that exporters would be
in the market in the near future but
until there is some support from this
source 1t is apparent that the mar
ket will continue to feel the weight OF
the new crop.
