Markets Rising Trend Flattens Out, Prices Turn Irregula
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-R-Demand
for December wheat contracts was
broad enough in early dealings to-
day to lift the price l 3-8 cents to
W ga, highest since last May. De-
ferred deliveries trailed behind on
the advance.
Later, however, prices backed
down and closed 3-8 lower to IA
higher compared with Saturdays
finish, December 80 IL to SO, MAY
81 IA to 3-8.
Buying of December was attrib-
uted to switching of hedges into
deferred contracts, short covering
on the part of dealers not wishing
hedges against scattered cash
wheat sales to mills or against
some flour business, Absence of
deliveries and strength in secur-
tiles accounted for some of the ac-
tlvity. Later, the fading stock mar
ket rally and failure of flour bust
ness to expand encouraged profit
taking.
Corn closed 1-8 to 10 lower than
Saturday, December 81 3-8, May
81 IL to 3-8; oats IA to 3-8 off:
soybeans l IA to 2 IA lower: rye
unchanged to IA higher; lard un-
changed to S higher.
July, 1871, wheat deliveries
Jagged behind the upturn in De
cember contracts, due in part to
favorable crop prospects, and
closed at a discount of about 6 IL
cents compared with December.
This tended to unsettle the market
to some extent. Southwestern re-
ports of prospects for some expan-
sion in marketings also attracted
attention. Producers in that terri
tory have virtually ceased sealing
grain for loans and the usua
amount of pre-tax date and pre-
Christmas selling in that as well
as other regions was expected. Chi
cago futures closed about 8 IL
cents over the loan rate. /
