CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-LP-1n a
final, frantic squirt, the December
wheat futures contract managed to
push upward today to close IA to
3-8 cents higher than Mondays
final prices, while the deferred de-
liveries finished 1-8 up to IA low
err. Corn and soybeans were indie
pendently strong.
Wheat displayed a nervous I'M
dertone, fluctuation over a range
of more than a cent. Liquidating
sales exerted a weight on prices
during most Of the session and
moisture over most of the winter
wheat sections also was a de-
pressing influence.
Final prices for wheat were 3-a
higher to IA lower than yester-
days close, December SO IA to

1--8 to 7-8 cent up, December 81

changed to IA higher; rye 1-8 up;
soybeans ga to l IA up and tard
2 to 7 cents off.
Corn prices were consistently
firm under the leadership Of the
December contract which was in
fluenced mainly by the strength
in the cash market and the rain
and snow storm over mos OF the
corn belt. The close was just un'
der the best levels. Commission
house and local buying buoyed the
nearby delivery while selling from
elevator and cash sources met the
demand. Bookings neared the 100,
900 bushel mark as demand was
expected due to the storm and re-
sultant curtailed receipts.
In the cash market, No. 3 yellow
corn sold at 81 ga cents, or 2 3-S
higher than the December con-
tract.
