EFFECT ON WHEAT
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 24.-Announeement
that the German government was serious-

ruptcy had a depressing influence today on
the wheat market here. Prices closed I'M
settled, sc to 1Ac net lower. with De-

to s1.1o%. Corn finished at 40 to 1Ac
decline; oats off &c and provisions I'M
changed to 21zc down.
AT first the fact that Liverpool quo
tations showed advance gave the wheat
market mere a slight tendency to ascend,
especially reports we're current that
domestic mills had just purchased some
wheat in Chicago at the best premium on
the 1922 crop. Export demand. however.
appeared to be almost at standstill and
with dearth of general buyint the un
easiness over European financial conui-
lions grew more acute, eliminating in a
sharp decline about noon.
Numerous stop loss orders which were
outstanding increased the selling pressure
in the wheat pit. Something OF rally at
the last in the market here was asoribed
to profit taking on the part of shorts.
Corn and oats weakened with wheat.
Rotterdam resellers were said to be Of
ferng corn cheaper than offers from New
York.
Provisions were affected by a decline
in hog values, but an advance in lard at
Liverpool counted to some extent as an
offset.
