Wheat-There was a moderate selling
Of wheat In the early market, Influenced
by yesterdays Government report, but
offerings were absorbed by houses with
seaboard and Eastern connections.
Foreign markets were depressed, Liver
pool spot prices to ? points lower under
liberal offerings from Argentina. Tx
port interests have again been inactive
with cables slow. The Southwestern
dealer is selling old wheat to terminal
markets because Of good outlook for the
crop and poor demand locally. Illinois
is Offering a little new wheat TO this
market, but, In a general way, the
country is not contracting the new crop
as freely as usual. Yesterdays Govern
ment estimate Of yield has already been
forgotten and the market seeks new
factors, At the moment there is par
ticularly poor export demand and the
crop outlook both winter and spring, Is
good therefore it would seem that the
market should he somewhat lower, but
We are not inclined TO advocate over
confidence in this idea because OF crop
uncertainties still ahead and because OF
the reluctant selling of the new crop
by the Southwestern producer.
Corn and oats-Y esterday's claims OF
dry weather over a portion of the corn
belt were sharply effective today. The ad-
vance In prices increased the offerings
from Iowa slightly, but on the whole the
country Is not selling with any freedom.
Sentiment Is becoming more friendly be-
cause of the high feeding value upon the
farms and the consequent belief that the
future movement to market will be small
With the farmer reluctant seller and
with sentiment friendly, the market Is
more likely to meet support pressure. The
estimated yield OF oats was larger than
various private reports previously issued,
therefore market is devoid Of any revival
Of demand. We still feel that develop
ments yet to come will be likely 10 favor
the holder Of both corn and oats.
Observation-Disclosures In hog products IS
broader, the demand today came from
former sellers, from investors and from
packing interests. There is sufficient
cash trade to avoid the necessity OF
hedging sales.

During the first half Of today's session
the market was very embarrassing af-
fair.
At frequent intervals. 1t bordered on
real dizziness Effort was made to slim
ulate some departments Of the market,
but advances We're limited.
Commission houses no longer buying
stocks with the freedom Of recent
months, naturally created the impression
that long lines had reached the maximum
and this invited professional opposition,
the heavier selling that developed dur
Ing the latter part of the day being
credited to prominent professionals, but
was accompanied by an increasing vol
ume Of selling orders from public
sources.
It is customary to offer special ex-
PLANTATION for every advance or decline
but these explanations frequently are
forced
Very often there is no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION.
The reaction that developed is I'M
doubtedly a result of technical rather
than financial or commercial conditions.
The fact Of the matter is that indus
trial reports continue good
Money is IN plentiful supply, but the
long interest has reached burdensome
proportions and sufficient allowance has
not been made for the possible effect OF
the coal strike or for the chance Of a
railroad strike
We feel that a reaction Is IN order and
