WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. 20.-War prices on
grain met their waterloo this week.
Cneasiness over the general busi-
ness outlook proved more than an
offset for bullish factors, notwith-
standing the many big cuts which
the value Of cereals had recently
undergone. Compared with a week
ago, wheat this morning was down
sac to &c. corn was off TIC to SIC,
and oats SIC to 4kc. In provis-
ions. the net changes varied from
so cents decline to a rise Of 81.
At the beginning of the week.
material upturns in wheat prices
took place owing largely to signs
Of European buying and to the as
sumption that bolshevik military
successes had rendered improbable
for a long time any important grain
shipments from Russia. There was
also much talk of an effort to ar
range credits in this country to en-
large exports to Germany. Conf
dence based on such grounds,
however, did not last, and agrees
sive selling set in accompanied by
renewed attention to the disturbed
financial and economic situation
and to indications. that a stock OF
wheat might be built up here by
arrivals from Minneapolis and Can
ada. Then came increased Offer
ings from the big new 1920 yield Of
corn, and the whole grain list
tumbled in good earnest. despite
evidence Of q widespread holding
policy on the part Of farmers.
Weakness in corn and oats start
ed with a sharp break in cash corn
prices at Kansas City. Later, liqui-
dalton became general.
Except for November delivery,
provisions tended downward in
sympathy with grain and hogs.
