CHICAGO, August 13-Chances of an
arnistice being arranged between Rus
STA and Poland had a bearish effect to-
day on the wheat market.
Word that the British Royal Com
mission had again withdrawn from the
market as a buyer, counted also as a
depressing factor Pit transactions were
Of TO
which ranged from the same as yester-
DAYS finish to PIX higher. with Decem-
Der, 245a2461. and March 2.49a2.50,
were quickly followed by a sharp break
all around.
Corn. like wheat was depressed in
value by talk of the probability of an
arrnistice. After opening unchanged to
3, lower. including September Isl 2 a
i152L, and December 1.26A q a1.21, the
market underwent a decided general set
back
Oats reflected the weakness of other
cereals starting unchanged to * down
and sagging still more prior to any sign
of rally.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted pro-
visions Trade. however, was small.
Potatoes. weak; receipts: 50 cars :;
eastern cobblers, 5.75a6.00 Dbl; Jersey
cobblers. bulk, 3.35a3.50; Minnesota,
early Ohos sacked, 2.65a2.S5.
Subsequently rains had further
bearish influence on corn. The close was
weak. is to 37 cents net lower. with
September LASS to 1.49 and Decem-
Der 1.25M to 1853.
Any lasting rally in wheat was pre-
vented by notice that the port of Gal
weston was conEested with grain and
that railroad loadings for there had
been stopped. The market for wheat
closed heavy. 3A to cents net lower.
with December 2.41 to 2:41A and
March 2.44.
