CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Wheat underwent

as a result of Increased selling due to
stock market weakness. The close was
unsettled. isc to 7sc. net lower, with
May s115 to s1.15B and July s1.07 to
SLOTS. Corn lost sc. to 1Ac.; oats
finished &c. off to Sc advance, and
provisions down &C. to 15c.
Wheat showed Indications of down.
ward tendency at the outset. but this
appeared 10 be merely by way of re-
sponse to lower quotations at Liver
pool. and was soon more than offset by
news of further rain interfering with
the Argentine harvest. Besides lead
ing crop expert declared that domestic
winter wheat acreage had decreased 10
per cent and had fallen in condition
seven points below the average. Talk
Of farm relief legislation at Washing
ton counted also 10 some extent as a
temporary bullish factor.
Simultaneous with bearish develop
ments in the stock market talk became
current that receipts of corn here from
Iowa promised to be much larger soon.
and holders of December corn contracts
started to unload. About the same time
reports of a slowing down of flour de-
mand were likewise in circulation. In
the absence of aggressive buying wheat
prices dropped quickly. Toward the end,
however, pressure to sell diminished and
wheat was rallying again at the last.
Big elevator interests were said to have
been among the principal sellers of corn.
Houses with Eastern connections were
also active in letting go Of December.
The oats market displayed considerable
resistance to following the leadership of
corn and wheat.
Provisions were governed by the
course of hog values.
