CHICAGO, October 4.-Severe new
setbacks in the price of wheat re-
suited today from an increase of
under So for the first time on the
crop, and December dropped also to
a new low level. Figured on the
basis of the premium of the hard
winter grade over the December de-
livery, wheat today was cheaper than
at any time since 1917. Opening quo
tations. which ranged from to 34a
down, with December 2.04 to 2.04A
and March 200 to 2.01. were followed
by a moderate rally and then by
drop much under the initial bottom
prices.
Big receipts and fine weather had
decided bearish effect on corn. After
opening V to 2% lower, including
December at SO to S9A, the market
continued to descend.
Oats sympathized with corn, start
ing IN to 2k off. December SIS to
ssh, and not showing any special
power to recover.

Later, there was an unusual alb
sence of support other than from
shorts. and with liquidation much in
evidence the wheat market suffered
big cuts. The close was
heavy, liz to 12h net lower, with
December, 1.95 to 1861, and March.

Bearish crop estimates and the
weakness of wheat led subsequently
to a further decline in corn The
close was nervous, rs to 5 cents net
lower, with December at SSH to Sc.
