TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. October S.-Wheat un-
derwent a sharp setback in price to
day soon after the opening. 1t be-
,, came quickly apparent that action
of the wheat conference here in or
, eanizing q national cooperative mar
keting association had failed to slim
ulate any important new buying.
Heavy selling then set in, and in some
cases the price dropped lla cents or
more in a verticle line before the fali
was checked. After opening unchang-
ed to Il cent lower, December. 1.09 IS
to 1.1O and May 1.13a4 to 1.137s. the
market went down grade with little
or no evidence of power to rally,
Corn and oats reflected the weak
ness of wheat After opening un-
changed to j. off, December IS to
76I., corn suffered a general decline
oats started unchanged to shade
lower. December 43$s to 13$sa43la, and
later showed a further loss.
Provisions were weaB with hoSs
and grains.
