WHEAT VALUES CLIMB
AFTER LOSS AT START
Corn, Oats and Provisions Are Re.
ported Easy in Dealing at Chi
cago Market Today.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 16.-Wheat
tended upward anew today after lit
tie setback at the start. Argentine
exports of wheat were expected to be
larger, but Black Sea shipments had
a big falling off. Opening unchanged
to rs lower, wheat sagged little all
around and then scored a moderate
general advance. Corn, oats and pro
visions were easy, corn starting at "a
decline to an equal gain and then
holding near to initial figures.
Emphasizing upturns in wheat val
ues today were advices that wheat
coming this week from ports on the
Black Sea amounted to only 10000
bushels, as against 2,616,000 bushels
the previous week. Word was also at
hand that the German potato crop is
26 per cent below last years outturn
and that a consequent bullish effect
on breadstuffs was looked for, espe-
cially as to rye. Argentine wheat eX-
ports, although larger than a week
ago, proved to ;}a much under the cor
responding total last year.
further bullish wheat market in
fluence today was a statement from
a trade authority here that it is not
improbable United States wheat pro-
duction this season has been over
estimated to some extent. Talk was
also current that wheat prices are
much below last years level, although
world supplies are but moderately in
excess.

FRENCH BOND L|ST7
MARKET LEADERS
Some Reactions Are Noted
Elsewhere in Foreign
Groups Today.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. December I6.-French
bonds were the leaders in todays
trading, All three of the obligations
or the central government sold at the
highest prices reached this year, and
one of them, French rs, higher than
ever before in its history. The buy
ing was most animated in the Is and
712s. The IS were higher also, but
not quite so active,
Probably because of the fact that
they are not callable prior to ma
turity, it took less buying to advance
the 712s to a new 1926 top than In
the rs. Selling at 103A. the former
We're only poipt and half below
the highest for all time, which was
reached in 1922, and still on a basis
to yield about 7.l5 per cent. Seine
IS We're prominent ON the advancing
side among other French dollar OBJ
legations. French National Steamship
rs, the lowest priced French issue,
also made a new 1926 high at 94
Elsewhere in the foreign list there
were some reactions. Italian Is, which
had been so conspicuous yesterday,
hesitated above 80. German govern
ment IS at 1861 were down a point
from their high of earlier in the
month. Japanese 61as were in good
demand for time around par and
the Belgian obligations held their
ground well, as did the Antioquia Is
in the South American group.
The most interesting movement
among the domestic rails was that in
Erie convertible d As, which crossed
IS for the first time in years. This is
the one Erie bond still convertible into
Erie common stock. The conversion
price is $50 per share, and the privi-
lege is operative up to October l, 1927.
Illustrative of the improvement in
Erie's credit is the fact that in 1922
these bonds changed hands at 34%.
Seaboard Air Line bonds ranked
next to the Eries in today's favor
The adjustment 5s and the consoli.
dated 6s, the former up half point at
SO and the latter above 81, were the
most active.
Domestic industrials were more IT.
regular. Some of the oils were strong,
notably the Sinclair bonds, with gains
of a half point and more in the Gas
and Is. There was also active buying
of Pan American Petroleum 6s at
higher prices. Warner Sugar Is of
both maturities continued their spec.
tacular recovery.
On the other hand International
Mercantile Marine 6s were in supply
and yielded. Chicago Railway SIS re-
flected the news of the receivership
by an initial drop of almost 2
points, a part of which was regained
later.
