GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec a18-(4)--W Wheat prices
/ frightened up today owing more or less
to- buying to make accounts even if
the United States government crop re-
port expected on Monday. Closing quo
tations on wheat were firm, t cent
to cent net higher, with corn at Il
cent decline to Il cent advance, oats
| 2s cent to u cent up, and provisions
( varying from 10 cents setback to a
rise of 5 cents.
Aside from a desire to be prepared
for any surprise in the government
report, buying of wheat was promoted
through a forecast that world ship
ments for the week would turn out to
be much smalled than of late. An ad-
vance in ocean freight rates from Ar
gentina counted as a bullish factor as
appearing likely to impede liberal ship
ments out of that country to Europe.
iAssertions were also current that wheat
bought now in Argentina would not
reach Europe until the beginning of
March and that in the meantime Eu-
ropean supplies would mostly have to
be obtained from North America.
Scantiness of primary domestic re-
ceipts, however, continued the total
this week including today, being only
4SS6oOO bushels, as against S,502,0
bushels a year ago. Export business
in North American wheat today was
estimated at 100000 bushels, chiefly
Canadian
corn and oats sympathtzed with
wheat strength. Country offerings of
corn were not large, although the
movement of new corn is increasing.
Miscellaneous selling weakened the
provision market despite firmness in
hog values.
