Commodity Markets
GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Under fresh
avalanche of selling, wheat futures were
carried into new low ground for the
season today, following rally in the
early trading. Small losses occurred at
the start, but buying by a house with
connections at the seaboard sent quo
tations above the previous close shortly
after the opening.
Shorts, who had covered early, put
out their lines anew and those who had
bought in expectation of an improve
ment were compelled to unload.
Corn and oats SlumpPd to new low
ground after Temporary rallies. A
big line of corn bought at the start was
dumped into the pit and pressure came
from all sides.

points below last nights close under
pressure of southern offerings.
Cotton receipts at the ports for the
day are estimated at $4,000 bales,
against 43 800 bales a week ago, 81, ,2Si
bales year ago and 81, 1877 bales two
years ago.
Soon after the opening the market
sod-up to a net advance Of Is to 81
points on increased covering demand,
buying for a reaction and some buying
from southern sources.
Selling orders from the South were in
decidedly smaller volume than yester-
day and somewhat more optimistic ad :
vices came from that quarter. Early
in the second hour, the immediate de :
mand from shorts appeared to have been
filled and the market sold off partially
under local and Wall street offerings.

While the extensive liquidating move

days local market. the entire list de-
veloped surprising weakness. This was
generally attributed to cleaning out of
speculative accounts, which had been
seriously impaired by the drastic de-
clines in the New York market this
week.
Electric Storage Battery was offered
freely from the outset and the stock
had no support. The cleaning out pro
cess, however, was also reflected in the
weakness of Lake Superior, which
dropped to a new low at 3. Likewise

were well supported, as was Philadel-

The local market during the week
passed through the same trying ordeal
as prevailed in most all the other mar
keta. The insistent lquidating, which
while not reaching large proportions.
resulted in general marking down OF
prices. Without any special develop
