CHICAGO. October 11.-Wheat prices
today reflected the bullish influence
of an organized movement of growers
to force the market up TO a minimum
of So bushel. Offerings were I'M
usually light until values had scored
a substantial upturn. Commission
houses then took to the selling side
and something of reaction ensued
Opening prices. which ranged from
cent to AZ cents higher, with De-
cember 200 to 2.03. and March 1867
to 1884,, were followed by material
further gains before the market be-
gan to sag.
Corn was firmer with wheat. After
opening s to LIS higher. including
December at Sc to S61@, the market
steadied at slightly under the initial
figures.
Oats paralleled the action of other
grain, starting II to Il up, December
ssh to 56&, and then receding a
little.
Lower quotations on hogs had q
weak ening effect on provisions.
Potatoes-Weak: receipts, III cars
