BREAK IN GRAIN
IN LATE TRADING
Wheat, However, Holds Most of

CHICAGO. August 25.-Heavy re-
aligning the result of general sell
ing induced by the late weakness at
Winnipeg. brought about a break in
grain prices In the final half hour.

here was Il to "a higher with De-
cember 107 to 107L and May 1925
TO 11212: corn was off 4 to &c. oats
shade to &c lower, while provi-
sions gained 10 to 22kc.
After a steady start. wheat fu
lures underwent moderate setback
on light local selling, then advanced
sharply above the previous close on
buying. much of which was by ear
lier sellers. An upturn in quotations

to the sharp advance on this side of
lift values here in the early deal
ings. Reports of probable serious
impairment to the Australian wheat
crop because of excessive rains also
had a bullish effect, as did q predic-
tion of thunderstorms for a large
part Of the grain belt. Such storms.
it was said, checked threshing of
wheat and oats.
Buying became more general to-
ward the finish, however, AS a result
of q setback in October wheat at
Winnipeg. This delivery. although
selling at an advance of more than
2lac early. broke sharply and closed
at unchanged figures.
Corn and oats We're largely affect
