CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Despite some
notice taken of reported hitch in
Czech-German negotiations, Chicago
wheat values declined major fractions
of a cent at times today.
Sellers of wheat here took their cue
largely from moderate downturns of
Liverpool quotations and from contin-
ued auspicious reports of Argentine
crop prospects. In addition export de-
mand overnight for wheat from North
America was disappointing. Fresh
five-year low price records in corn
acted also as a weight on the wheat
market
1t was stressed that, as frequently
has been the case in past seasons,
rural holders of corn had become the
largest sellers at time when the net
returns were the smallest Estimates
were current that since the first of
last weeks corn sales to arrive in
Chicago alone have been well in ex-
cess of 100000 bushels. Neverthe-
less, prevailing prices reflected under
35 cents bushel on the farm in Iowa
for old crop corn, and between IS and
80 cents for the higher moisture new
crop.
Corn. rye and oats declines chiefly
paralleled the downturns of wheat.
Indications pointed to continued lib
eral to-arrive purchases from the
country, with official reports empha-
sizing, that the past week has been
ideal for maturing late corn and that
practically the entire crop now is safe
from frost.
Provisions receded with grains.
Around II am. wheat was un-
changed to 4 lower, compared with
yesterdays finish December, 63 May,
6334, and corn was unchanged to IA
off: December, 45ls; May, 48.
