CHICAGO. September 24.-Heavy
selling led to a sharp break in wheat
prices today. Part of the selling ap-
peared to be on European account and
part was said to be hedging from the
southwest. Later, buying for a house
with Seaboard connections helped to rail-
ly the market somewhat Opening
quotations. which ranged from y.
to IA lower. with December 2.32
to 2.34A. and March, 2.20 to 2.24 were
followed by a moderate reaction from
initial bottom figures
Liberal receipts had a bearish effect
on corn. After opening y to 3 cents
lower. with December. 9SA to 9s7s, the
market scored additional losses, Deem
Der and May selling at the lowest
prices yet this season.
All deliveries Of oats fell in sympa-
thy with corn to a new low price level
for the 1920 crop. starting unchanged
to q down, with December at 57A to
57k.
Upturns in the hog market gave firm
ness to provisions.
