WEAKER FEELING

Profit-Taking Causes Slight
ReceSsionS in Wheat.
ited EinnncfnI


CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Grain prices
opened unchanged to fracuonally lew
er on the Chicago Board OF Trade to-
day.
Profit-taking weakened wheat val
ues at the outset, as did the failure Of
Liverpool TO respond TO Wednesdays
upturn. Another depressing factor
was the general belief that much OF
the recent advance was due to short
covering. which left the market tech.
nically weaker. Dispatches from
Washington stated the Administration
would not call an extra session of
Congress to consider relief for the
stricken farmer; that the Admins
tration was opposed 10 any method
of price fixing. but was IN sympathy
with a movement for better prices
to be paid wheat producers.
More liberal offerings and some
profit taking featured the down turn
in corn prices. Weather and crop
news was favorable. many sections
reporting warm. dry weather, which
will aid fields now in the maturity
stage
Oats were unchanged on feature
less market.
Lower cables and a weak grain
market brought a slump in provis-
ions
