With reports from industrial and

some time and which attained fair
measure Of success during the latter

DROP AT THE CLOSE
Pressure From Eastern
Houses and Bears
Brings Decline.

Copyright, 1928, by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago, Jan. 25.-WhCat weakened
today in the last half hour of trading
as a result of pressure from eastern
houses and local bears. Closing prices
were unchanged to IL cent, higher.

closing prices were is to 3-S cent
higher. Oats closed is 10 3-S cent
lower. Lard closed I ID 10 Il IL
cents lower and ribs 1 IL TO 10 cents

The wheat market is apparently in
an Over-sold position and this is re
Sponsible for the many rallies recorded
since the low point was established
on Tuesday. Local sentiment is bear
iSh and the pit is selling on every little
bulge, but there is sufficient buying on
the dips to create tight position and
force shorts to cover. The entrance
of the Norbeck bill in the market has
thrown scare into the bears who
fear TO press declines much further
and this has resulted in a contraction
in the offerings The fact that the
bill was reported out of committee is
deemed by some to insure its passage.
While no one disputes the fact that
European production is J42 100000
bushels less than pre-war years, yet
has anyone figured how much less
consumption is, or how much prOduc-
ton has increased in countries other
than Europe. Worlds wheat crop is
bigger than year ago and importers
know this and are making their pur-
chaseS accordingly. Whether credit
extensions viii induce them to expand
their buying remains TO be seen. EX-
port demand is at a Standstill. Mill
ing demand is fair. Receipts of wheat
are still excessive. Drought in the
Southwest remains uubrOken. London
reports cargOcs TO arrive and aflOat
l IL to cents lower. Argentine
shipments this week are expected to
total 3,000,000 bushels.
Corn developed considerable strength
an hour after the opening. There was
Il slight bulge on opening trades. but
commission house pressure soon forced
prices backward with wheat. 4 re-
port Of dry weather in Argentine and
its possible consequences brought in big
buying orders and caused shorts to
