LLOYD GEORGE TALK
SINKS WHEAT FAST
Heavy Selling in Chicago Fol
lows Premicr's Speech OH
Unemployment in Britain.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Wheat dropped to-
day to new low record prices for 1921.
Lloyd Georges speech on unemployment
was followed by heavy selling that
turned the market sharply down grade.
Closing quotations were heavy at u % 2
cents net lower, with December s1.03la
@$1.GS% and May s1.o8A a s1.0Sh.
Corn lost Is @ - cent: oats finished un-
changed to 1s cent off and provisions
unchanged TO decline of 81 cents.
The chief selling of wheat came in the
last half hour and found the market
virtually without support. The East and
the Northwest were especially prompt in
taking the bear side. Shorts had COW
cred freely earlier, causing a decided
rally from the extreme weakness OF the
last few days. When profit taking had
about ended no other buying orders were
in sight At this juncture word of the
Lloyd George speech attracted attention.
Then values descended rapidly and the
close was almost at the bottom. Re-
ports of improved domestic milling de-
mand. together with talk that the rail
strike might be averted helped the bulls
early. but were ignored later.
Corn and oats reflected whcat's action
in a narrow range. An active demand
was reported from shippers for corn to
load and hold.
Provisions were governed mostly by
grain.

BOND NEWS AND NOTES.

The action of yesterdays bond mar
kct expressed confidence In the ultimate
settlement of the railroad situation with
out strike inasmuch as railroad bonds
again started forward after two days
of hesitancy. Advances in the rail
group ranged from fractions to slightly
more than a point. The most active Is
sues were Great Northern Is. st. Paul
convertible AIS, Rock Island refund
ing As, Baltimore and Ohio convertible
4Jas, Chesapeake and Ohio convertible
SIS, New York Central debenture 6s.
Pennsylvania gold 61as and general
41as, Frisco income IS and Seaboard Air

the industrials was not quite so pro-
nounced, although certain OF those is
sues, particularly United States Steel
sinking fund SIS, Western Union 15s,
American Smelling 5s and Cuba Cane
debenture IS were In demand at better
prices. Public utility bonds. particularly
Bell Telephone Of Pennsylvania 7s.
Northwestern Bell Telephone Is, Detroit
Edison first and refunding 6s and
Southwestern Bell Telephone 5s were
again very active. United States Gov
ernment bonds were steady and little
changed in prices, but foreign Govern
nlent bonds were active and strong,
with one exception, the Mexican issues.
Mexican SIS opened at So and declined to
53k. which reflected disappointment be-
cause of the delay in settling the ques-
ton of Mexico's finances. New high

issues, namely. Swedish 6s. Swiss IS,

WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

According to the Department of Agri-
cultures weather report for the week
ended on Tuesday night the harvesting
of corn continued under favorable
weather conditions and husking made
satisfactory progress. Regarding condi-
tions in the corn belt the report was
interpreted as generally favorable. In
western and northwestern parts of the
wheat belt late threshing was nearly
completed. Seeding of small grains
made rapid progress during the week in
the southern portion of the winter wheat
bert. The seeding OF winter wheat has
been practically completed in the Ohio
and Central Mississippi Valley States"
the report stated.
The picking of cotton continued well
advanced. due to the excellent weather
in the South, according to the report
which said: 'Cold weather was the rule
and the week was rainless in practically
all sections OF the belt, with a high per-
centage of sunshine. These conditions
were ideal for picking and ginning cot
ton, which made very rapid progress in
all sections where not completed"
