Chicago, Nov. 5-WHEAT-General
buying of wheat took place in the wheat
market today. during the early part of
the session The stimulus came from an
upturn in prices at Winnipeg yesterday
and from fresh advances at Liverpool and
Buenos Aires. Reports were current that
Japan was purchasing wheat heavily in
Australia and that India was also buying.
Initial quotations, which ranged from 42c
to 1$sc higher with December $11112 to
S111A and May $1.14 to S1,143s were fol-
lowed by material further gains.
Increasing seriousness of drought re
ports from Kansas together with news of
drought in Southern Argentina led subse-
quently to additional setbacks: The close
was unsettled. 1ac to Use net higher, with
December SLIP to $1.121s and May $1.15 to

CORN-Corn and oats were firmer, with
wheat. Corn started &c to A@Bc higher,
May 555sc to 553Sc and later reacted
little.
Late downturns in wheat PRICES had
Il bearish effect on corn notwithstanding
brisk export demand. The close was heavy,

there is an evident similarity in the
