The week opened with advancing
wheat prices but recessions set in and
prices dropped rapidly. The SAC
break in Argentina wheat added to
bearishness in American markets
European financial conditions and Ger
man attitude toward allied indemnities
also causing some concern. There was
an advance Of about Sc from the low
point in Buenos Aires wheat and this,
in conjunction with disclosure of over
sold condition in all American grains,
led to buying. Country offerings
decreased. At close Of week corn
showed strong undertone. Minneapolis
reports slow flour demand. slack
wheat demand except for choice, with
No. 2 dark cash 10c to lie over Minne-
apolis March. For the week Chicago
