Oct 20 Wheat prices took a decided upward swing today, helped by prospective settlement of the British coal strike. The begin ning of a federal inquiry here as to wheat market conditions appear ed also to be regarded in some Quarters aa a bullish factor. Be sides officers of the wheat growers' association of the United j States were quoted as predicting success for their proposed cutting off of rural sales of wheat on and after Oct 25. Opening prices, which ranged from c to If higher, with December $2.06 to $2.07 and March $1.96 to $1.97. were followed by ma terlal further gains. Subsequently the market declined sharply aa a result of selling ascribed to a bearish construction of Secretary Houston's speech be fore the bankers' convention at Washington. - The close was un settled, at the same as yesterday's finish to 2 Vic lower, with December 03 to 2.03, and. March 1.95, to 1.95. Corn advanced with wheat Aft er opening V4c to lc higher, includ ing December at 83c to 83 c, the market continued to ascend. Oats were steadied by the firmness of other grain, starting to Vic off to 4c up with December at 54 c to 54c and keeping close to in itial figures. Houses with eastern connections were active on the selling side later, and the market sagged. Prices closed nervous, lc net lower to V4c advance, with December 81c to 81V4c. Provisions sympathized with grain strength and scored gains with a temporary setback due to lower quotations on hogs.
