C. Wll son, member of the Chicago board of trade. New York stock exchange and San Francisco bond and stock exchange, 212 West Fifth street. Lof Angeles. CHICAGO, Oct. I.—Th« wheat was a very nervous affair today. Trade was somewhat larger In volume than recently. Values »ew lower early. higher later, then reacted sharply after the shorts had covered. The latter sold too freely on the ■ opening decline and were forced to cover on the bulge of about lc from the early low points. Early Argentine news was largely favorable, but later news the re verse. All cables, however, conceded that dry weather continued. Some claimed fears of frost in' some sections, others that it was too hot. These contradictory reports kept the tra le guessing. Mianwhlle export trade is non-ex istent, bids on Manltobas about 2c bolow workable limits, and there Is no noteworthy dcmustlc demand. Although primary receipts continue to run short of last year, there ia a more rapid accumulation than last year, borne Indication at the last that considerable wheat had been sold by leading buyers yeaterday, as well as some fresh lines' of short wheat put out With the primary movement running so light comparatively, and the Argentine news bound to be a factor for some time to come, we think wheat can he bought on the breaks yet, accepting fair profits win ti shown. Corn was subject to about the same sort of changes as in wheat. Short selling ovcrdune on early decline, shorts covered on a later bulge, which was helped along by the wheat strength and a better shipping call, then turned easier again after the short Interest bad iK-on . llminated. As in "wheat, there was no important accession of new buying. Hard frosts last night extended into northern ami western lowa and Kansas, and phenomenally heavy rains occurred in the Ohio valley. Would only make sales on the hard spots. Oats followed other grains. Trade, was of liberal proportions. lowa a»aln selling oats at the country stations today, one elevator line reporting Ita purchases In northern lowa today the largest of ony day of the crop. Provision aborts bought the list. The most urgent demand was for nearby lard, conges tion being apparent in the October. There was some! fair buying of November lard by packers. OKeriß«» on the advances were suf llcient to check any runaway tendency that might have developed In October lard. MAHKKT BAJHIKS WHEAT- Open. High. Low. Close.
