Government Wheat Report
Expected to Be BuIIiSh
by Trade.
BY HAROLD E. RAINvILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO. Dec. 20. = Wheat
dropped unevenly as the Board of
Trade opened today, losing Is to y
cent and coming within 4 cent of
new lows fer the season on May
and July. Unexpected weakness at
Liverpool. with reports of increased
pressure from Argentine and Cana
dian offerings and an irregular stock
market brought in scattered selling
which found support light Corn
was off with wheat. losing 4 to i
cent, and oats was down x cent in
a dull trade. Provisions were
fairly active and weak.
The government report on acre
age and condition of winter wheat
will be released after the close to-
day, and the trade is lokoing for
bullish document. Recent private
estimates were between 6 and 10
per cent lower acreage. The low
est condition for this time of year
ever known is expected in the re-
port. Liverpool started firm, but
broke sharply, being Z to z. cent
lower on a gold basis at mid-after-
noon, with March at 43A cents, the
lowest since the 43 cent level was
touched in 1888. An advance in
sterling was a factor.
Corn receipts Monday were the
smallest for a Monday in many
weeks, and indicates that corn pro-
ducers are holding back for higher
prices.
Cereal interests are buying oats
on recession, as they have been do
ing on every decline. The cash mar
ket is firm. but futures are affected
by the action of other grains.
