SENSATIONAL RISE
IN BREAD GRAINS
Week Also Sees Rise in Price
of Hogs-Wheat Touches
$2.f5 Per BusheI.
By the Associated PreEr.

by the Associated freu.
CHICAGO. December 2o.-Sensa-
tional climbing by prices OF bread
grain this week have accompanied
persistent indications of world scare
ity of supplies. Compared with a
week ago, wheat this morning was
az to SIC higher here, whereas corn
was unchanged to &c lower and oats
70 to 10 down. Provisions showed
27c to $1.20 advance.
Despite huge sales to realize profits.
the Chicago wheat market almost
daily established new high-price rec
ords for the season. Meanwhile,
signs multiplied that much Of the
demand here for future deliveries Of
wheat came from European sources.
Announcement of a material decrease
of the domestic visible stock both Of
wheat and rye was promptly follow
ed by a rise TO above 81 a bushel for
choice grades of wheat at the prin-
cipal milling center, Minneapolis, and
before the week was ended some
wheat there was bringing as high
as $2.15.
Reports Of a wet harvest in Argen-
tina and Australia added apparently
to likelihood OF European need OF
unusual amounts of wheat from the
United States before the next crop in
this country Is available. This pros
pect was further emphasized by an
estimate that the world crop Is 440,-
100000 bushels less than last year S
total. Another stimulating factor
was disclosure that the condition of
newly sown wheat and rye in the
United States Is below what had gen
orally been looked for.
Immense marketing of hogs. which
implied lessened feeding demand, had a
depressing effect on values of corn and
oats. Besides. Argentine corn crop
advices were less pessimistic-
Prospects of future shortage of
hogs WAS largely responsible for new
high price records.
