CHICAGO. October 23.-Wheat tool,
| decided upward swing in price to-
day soon after the opening. Active
investment buying was given as a
reason. The buying was said to be
| based, more OF less. on renewed at
; tention TO shortage of wheat east OF
the Rockies and to something of All
advance in Liverpool quotations.
The opening. which varied from un-
changed figures to g higher, with
December 1.05i2 to 1.o5& and May
1.f0% to 1.1014, was followed by a
slight sag and then 81 rises of more
! than, one cent q bushel, above yester-
days finish.
Corn and oats rallied with wheat
although bearishly affected at Arsi
| by hne weather. After opening un.
changed to one cdht lower. December
TAN to TAN, the corn market scored
slight gains. except October and No.
vember deliveries. which continued
weak.
Oats started at a shade off to a
shade up, December AIN, sagged a
little. and later showed general gains
