WHEAT AND RYE

European Buying on Big

Corn in Partial Recovery.
Bv the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCIATED fress.
CHICAGO. September 27.-New top
record prices for the season have
been reached by both wheat and rye
this week in connection with Eu-
ropean buying on a big scale. Com
pared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was * to ) higher, where
as corn was q to 5lz down. and oats
Il to PA off. In the provision mar
ket. lard was As to 81 up. with meats
varying from 20 cents decline to Is
gain.
Persistent wet, cold weather in
Canada delaying the wheat crop
movement there and damaging the
quality of grain appeared to be fac
tor of much Importance in bringing
about enlarged European demand for
breadstuffs Usually at this time
of the year wheat prices in Canada
are depressed by large receipts, but
for at least the time being the cur
rent arrivals at Winnipeg appeared
to be reduced to about half of the
1923 total Meanwhile, stormy wealth
er in Europe tdd to previous
transatlantic crop damage gave
evident emphasis to the movement to-
ward getting increased supplies from
the United States.
Among the reports which attracted
special notice was an assertion that
the wheat crop of Italy this year
would be but little more than half
of the 1923 production and that the
increased requirements of France
would alone equal the entire surplus
looked for from Australia.
Corn prices rallied only in part
from recent severe declines based on
widespread opinion that absence OF
frost, together with better weather,
has steadily enlarged the probable
yield of merchantable corn. The rail-
lies were for the most part due to
official reports that nevertheless the
corn crop taken on the whole is
relatively even more backward than
a month ago.
Oats were governed principally by
the action of corn values.
In provisions the outstanding in
fiuence was the rapid reduction OF
stocks of lard.

their favorites up with good deal of

The remarkable rise in Atchison

based upon the prospect Of increased
