GRAIN MARKET.

X CHICAGO, Nov. 20. - El - Wheat
moved upward in price here today de-
spite lower quotations at Liverpool
Expected broadening out of European!
demand for wheat because of virtual
settlement of the British coal strike
was something of a stimulus Chicago
wheat values closed firm, " cent toI
p cent net higher, corn as cent to-
"a cent off, oats unchanged to as cent
up, and provisions varying from D
cent decline to a rise of Is cents.
According to trade authorities here,
the e It e m n t of the coal strike
should have a strengthening influence
relative to wheat prices on this side OF
the Atlantic, although being simultan-
eously a good reason for lower QUOTA
tions at Liverpool. 1t was generally
assumed that there are a large num-
Der of holes to abe filled in the pres
ent available supplies abroad, and that
export demand for North American
wheat will enlarge, Notwithstanding
that the ocean freight rate situation
may take considerable time to get back
| to normal.
Advances in the wheat market here,
however, were handicapped by con-
| iflicting advices from Argentina as to
| the crop outlook. One the one hand,
ltoday's weather conditions in Argen-
tina were reported to be favorable,
and first deliveries of new Argentine
wheat are expected next week, as
against this news, much notice was
taken of a cable dispatch received
from Chicago crop expert via. Buenos
Aires. The dispatch said that west
| 100 miles and then south so, the wheat
crop promises but six bushels or less
an acre and that large areas are to-
tai failure on account of frost follow
| ing dry weather. Weakness which the
| corn market showed toward the last
today was ascribed largely to the un-
doing of spreads a process which in
volved selling of corn and buying of
wheat. Besides, weather over the corn
belt was better. pOats were responsive
to smallness of receipts.
Provisions paralleled the action OF
corn, advancing early and then suffer-
ling a setback, as result of increas-
led selling on the upturn
