chiefly by weakness of Winnipeg
quotations, fresh declines in the price
of wheat took place here today dur
ing the early dealings. Buying sup
port developed, however, under $1.05
for the December delivery. Trade
was mostly of a local character. The
opening. which ranged from Il to ga
lower, with December LOAN to los IL
and May 1.108 to 1.1015, was followed
by a moderate general sag, and then
something of a rally.
Despite reports of frostS. corn was
easier with wheat. After opening
at Il a3sc lower to lsc advance, De-
cember, 6S to IS S1s c, the market under
went a slight setback all around.
Oats were steady in the absence of
any decided selling pressure. start
ing at a shade off to IL up. December,
3S5saS912, and later showing but little
change.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
the provision market.
Bearish crop estimates from Canada
kept the wheat market tending
downward in the last part of the day.
