that Chicago concerns were buying
wheat at Minneapolis to bring to
Chicago had decided bearish eff
feet today on the price of wheat.
The market closed nervous &c to sc
net lower with December $1.84A
to $1.84k and March $1.72A to
$1.73. Corn lost 21ac to 3hc and
oats &c to 2&c. In provisions the
outcome varied from unchanged
figures to setback of $1.35,
Bears put special stress on talk
that one of the cargoes of Cana
dian wheat booked to come to Chi
cago was obtained at a reduced
premium. Much was made also

p .ctors and been well discounted
boy recent upturns. On the other
hand, commission houses were
rather persistent buyers for a time
and with the help OF strength in
sterling exchange were able to
bring about sharp rally which,
however, failed to last.
Corn and oats touched the lowest
prices yet this season. The weak
Lness was due to general selling pre-
'cipitated by a break in the cash
born values at Kansas City.
Provisions lacked support, ex-
|cept November lard which was
wanted by shorts.

evinced a disposition to throw off
their pretracted unsettlement al
the outset of today's trading, but
before the session was half spent
the market encountered another
selling movement in which many
new low records for year or more
We're registered.
The relative firmness at the
opening was credited TO assur-
ances issued over night by fore
most banking interests, which
dwelt on the soundness of funda-
mental financial conditions.
These assurances were coupled,
however, with limitations that
general business prospects. es-
pecially as applicable to retail
trade. left much to be desired and
: that certain remedial measures
might have to be employed.
The character of today's reac-
ton suggested that considerable
part of the new liquidation was
proceeding from such quarters.
Obscure speculative issues more or
less exempt in the recent setback
broke three to more than ten
points, finally affecting popular Is
sues at extreme declines of two to
seven points. Developments today
contributed in varying degree to
the reversal. Chief among these
was the weekly survey of the Iron
Age emphasizing the deadlock in
that industry. A cut in the Ajax
Rubber dividend and the fall in
ship charters to pre-war levels,
shadowing dividend readjustments,
were among other unfavorable fac
tors.
Short covering In the final deal
ings resulted in rallies of one to
almost three points from lowest
prices, but a weak tone prevailed
at the close. United States Steel
recovered q point from its new
minimum of S0.7S. Crucible, Bald
win Locomotive, Reading, Southern
Pacific, Northern Pacific, Mexican
Petroleum, American International,
Utah Copper and Retail Stores fin
ished at losses of two to four and |
q half points and Famous Players
forfeited eleven points. Sales |
amounted to 1,125.000 shares.
Call moneys decline to 6 per !
cent and further strength of for |
eign exchange exerted no influence |
over the stock market. Bonds
were disturbed by the fresh pres
sure in the stock list, although Lib
erty issues closed at gains. Total
sales, par value, aggregated $13,-I
100000.
Old United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
