CHICAGO, October 1s.-Opinions
that the British coal miners strike
meant delay and curtailment of ex-
port business had a depressing eff
feet today on the wheat market. Fall
in British exchange rates counted
also as bearish factor. In general
commission houses took to the selling
side. Opening prices, which ranged
from 1 cent to 3k cents lower, with
December, 2.10 to PIP, and March. EOS
TO Z.05 ", were followed by material
further setback, and then something
of rally.
Corn was bearishly affected by re-
ports that many western corn indus
tries had closed down and that more
were scheduled to close this week.
After opening Is to L lower. includ-
ing December. at S61a to s7A, the
market underwent an additional sag
before beginning to rally.
Oats lacked support, opening 1s to
y of, December, 56n to 56A and
showing but little power to recover.
Cheaper hogs stimulated selling in
the provision market, and forced
values lower.
An increase of the visible wheat
supply total continued. Imports from
Canada and weakness in the cotton
market had bearish effect later.
The close was heavy. Ia to 3A net
lower. with December 2.11 to 211A
and March 2.01A to 202
Heavy selling for a big elevator
interest led subsequently, to fresh
corn declines. The close was weak.
