prices underwent a general setback
today owing mainly to the bearish
influence to the government report
telling OF enlarged acreage of do
meslc winter wheat. Closing quo
tations on wheat were heavy, 1h
to 17s cents net lower, with corn
13s to " cent down, oats quarter
to M a Is cents off, and provisions
varying from 10 decline to rise
Of five cents.
DoWnturns in the value of wheat
began as soon as the market open
ed. The finish was nearly at the
days bottom level. A private es-
innate which was given out near
the close and which indicated that
the yield of wheat in Argentina is
10,000,000 bushels under the Off
cial forecast, had but little effect
as counterbalance to the govern
ment report showing winter wheat
seeding in the United States is o.
100000 acres larger than last year.
Besides, December wheat deliver
les here today were more liberal,
364,000 bushels, and cash prices
were easier.
General demand for wheat was
about as slow as it was brisk the
previous day. Export business in
North American wheat appeared to
be at virtual standstill.
Meanwhile, advices were at hand
that first arrivals of new crop Ar
gentine wheat will reach Great
Britain January "a, that shipments
from Argentina are expected to be
of normal volume by January 10,
and that this wheat should be gen.
orally available in England about
January 81. Assertions heretofore
have been current that Argentine
wheat would not be available. in
Europe until March, and that dur
ing the interim 10O,OOO,0O0 bushels
from North America must be
bought
Prospects of colder weather
tended to pull down the corn mar
