WHEAT FAILS TO HOLD
EARLY PRICE ADVANCE
Weakness in Corn Market Pulls
Values Down After Decided
Upward Trend.
3y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Prese.
CHICAGO, August 13.-Revival OF
European demand for North Ameri-
can wheat, with new export purchas-
ing estimated at 100000 bushels,
gave an upward swing to the wheat
market today, but advances in price
failed to hold. Weakness which de-
veloped in the corn market tended to
put wheat values down at the last.
Heavy profit-taking sales were on In
corn, and the corn market lacked the
aggressive buying which has char
acteriZed it of late.
Wheat closed unsettled at the same
as yesterdays finish to % lower, corn
21@ to 81 down, oats q to 1a1B or
and provisions unchanged to '25 cents
Off
In connection with unlooked-for
price upturns at Liverpool today,
wheat traders here called attention
to reports that stocks Of wheat and
flour abroad are far from burdensome
and that shipments to Europe appear
to be small, especially to Great Brit
ain. Estimates from authoritative
sources are that British imports of
wheat and -four should be in the
neighborhood of 3.250,000 bushels
weekly on the average.
Decidedly better export demand for
North American wheat was in evil
dence today. 1t was pointed out, too,
that Notwithstanding recent smallness
of export dealings, the call for cash
wheat here has continued surprisingly
active. One of the reasons given is
that although wheat in central terri
tory is being rushed to market in
liberal volume, considerable part of
the current receipts are of wet. tough
wheat that is difficult to handle and
that as a result good wheat is readily
absorbed
