CHICAGO. October 29.-Absence of
selling pressure had bullish effect
today on the wheat market. Reports
of the general frosts in Argentina
tended to handicap the bears. In ad-
dition, notwithstanding that taken as
continued liberal, it was contended
that at least ten days would be re-
qu;red to prove that farmers were not
selling. Initial prices. which ranged
from u to II. higher. with December
2.Os to 2O9 and March o.01 to 2.02. were
followed by material further gains
and then something of reaction:
Corn assembled with wheat. After
opening unchanged to g higher IN, IN.
Guiding December at S21a to S:H, the
market continued to harden,
Provisions held steady, in line with
the hog market. j.

Sellers were scarce and commis-
