Chicago Produce Market

CnlcagO. Jan. 4.
Misgivings over the breakdown of
the reparations conference at Paris
had an evident bearish influence today
on the wheat market here. Prices
closed unsettled &c to 24c net lower
with May 11S4 to 1889 and July 1103
to 1105. Corn lost I to lac. oats ! to
&c. and provisions to 20@22 cents.
Traders flocked to the selling side
throughout the day in the wheat pit.
Foreign holders in particular were said
to be unloading. and this circumstance
together with unsteadiness of foreign
exchange ana with a succession of dis
turbing reports regarding the Paris
conference, kept most buyers wary, the
bulk of purchasing being apparently
to even up open accounts that showed
a profit.
