WHEAT IS LOWER
ON PROF|T-TAK|NC
Close Is at Days Lowest
Figures-Buying Support
Is Rather Thin.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 23.-Notwith-
standing that May wheat today
touched S1.50as, the highest price yet
this season. the wheat market as a
whole averaged lower. Selling to
realize profits was much in evidence,
and unofficial Canadian crop reports
proved to be less bullish than was
expected. Closing quotations on
wheat were weak. q cents to 11s
cents net lower; corn. g cent to u
cents off; oats at 81 cent decline to 4
cent advance, and provisions varying
from cents gain to a setback of Z
cents.
Wheat finished at about the days
lowest figures. The heavy profit-tak-
ing sales disclosed that support from
buyers was rather thin, the trade as
a rule being cautious about following
advances. Rains which were reported
as having fallen over some sections
of Argentina appeared to act as more
than a counterbalance for frost dam
age talk from north Argentina. Be-
sides. export demand for North
America n wheat today seemed to have
slowed down. although France was
said to he taking at least little.
Likelihood of a moderate decrease
IN tne Unlted states wheat visible
supply total on Monday failed to
check the late downward trend of the
market. Announcement was made
that world stocks of wheat had in
creased 42327 900 bushels in Septem-
ber. Advices were also at hand point
ing to prospect that ocean freight
r.tes were going higher. Latest esti-
mates indicated that 20 per cent. of
the Canadian wheat crop has been
threshold larger amount than was
generally supposed.
Corn dragged lower. influenced by
big receipts. Oats were responsive to
weakness both of corn and wheat.
Packers buying of November lard
upheld the provision market.
