TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Pre-war prices made their first appearance today in the grain market. Corn and oats were sacrificed wholesale in the trading pits until both cereals, were squarely on an ante-bellum basis of value. Transactions in wheat were also of great volume with price slashing in progress.
 Reported unsettled general business conditions furnished the background and large supplies of feedstuffs were said to be in sight with livestock be- ing rushed to mafket instead of being held on farms, according to. reports. Wheat showed itself the most sensi- tive of any board of trade commodity and stopped falling only after having broken 9Ac bushel.
 Bear leaders conceded that farmers were to a large degree successfully maintaining a holding policy as to wheat but took the ground that the wheat must be sold and that in the meantime Canada was supplying to the urgent demand in this country.
