Chicago, Sept. 24-tR- Better
weather conditions both sides of the
Canadian boundary gave wheat val

sides there was a persistent lack Of
export demand. Despite recent UNI
favorable conditions, Canadian farm
crs continued to market wheat on a
liberal scale, and have totalcd about
1900, 900 bushels so far this week.
Wheat closed heavy, IA cents to
] y cents net lower, corn as to x cent
down. oats at Il shade to * cent ad-
vance. and provisions unchanged to
IL cents up.
Heavy to killing frost was predicted
for tonight in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Minneso ta and Wisconsin and the Da-
kotas, temperatures well below frecz-
ing were reported in the Dakotas
over night, with snow at numerous
points in the northwest. There was
,"'nr'ssion house buying in small
lots throughout the day, but pit
traders were inclined to be cbarich.
oats trade was largely local.
Provisions reflected an upturn in
hog values.
