CHICAGO, January 26-Wheat UNI
derwent an early downturn today, in
fiuenced by likelihood of larger ship
ments from Argentina and by bearish
views taken of the Canadian govern
ment crop report. Opening Il to &c
down wheat held near to the initial
range Corn and oats were easier and
provisions steady, with corn starting
unchanged to 3sa1ac off, but later re-
covering somewhat.
Estimates at hand today placed Ar
gentine wheat shipments this week at
as much as 4.S00.000 bushels, a de-
cided increase over recent totals. En1-
phasizing this news was word that
European importers had refrained
from following the latest advance in
prices, both in Argentina and North
America.
On the other hand. pit observers
here noted a better commission-house
demand today for small-lot purchases
of wheat future deliveries. This cir
cumstance was taken i'm various quar-
tiers as implying perceptible enlarge
ment of outside interest in wheat, de-
spite today's early setback.
