(Free Profit Taking Puts Wheat Price Lower at Closing Future Deliveries Recede After Touching New High Spot at Opening of Market. l«y < HARMS* J. I.EYDK.V. Cnitmal Service Stuff Correspondent. j Chicago. Doc. 20.—Free profit-taking , was on the wheat pit today every time the market hardened and despite aggres sive absorption at times, the close was at fair recessions for the active deliveries. December wheat displayed relative steadi ness and finished 3TW under the May against 4% the previous day. At the out set wheat registered a new top for tho season. * he May delivery touching 1<644. Wheat closed unchanged to IS lower: corn was 1 ^ to 2 cents off; oats was half to % cents down and rye ruled *4 cent higher to ** cents lower. A house that has boon consistently bullish was n fu lv large seller of wheat futures today as well as 1 ho day before. Tho stand was taken that there had been “too much company" on the long side and that a natural reaction was due. Generally, sentiment was .lust as bullish as over. Wire trouble again limited the volume of trading ns well as nows from outside points. Bulgaria was asking for offerings of wheat, nearby shipment, hut It was not learned from tho seaboard lust what the days developments were. Liverpool closed 1 pence higher. Prominent selling corn has been on for several days. This grain opened steady to day hut dropped japldly. The movement of corn iv increasing and while tho de mand to date is satisfactory, there are predictions that it will not last. The de mand on suot was fairly active for a week end trade, and the basis at the close was 1 cent higher. Oats eased with corn. Tom mission house selling was on tap must of the day ami the scattered demand could not overcome the realizing. There was excellent* buying of rye fu tures going on. Spreading in the wav of •buying rve for May delivery against sales of July wheat have been noted late ly. Provisions recovered late in the day from the earlv decline, karri closed 25 to 35 cents nigher and ribs were 77‘4 to 97t4 cents higher. * ‘Fit Notes. Chicago. Dec. 20.—Of late the kiverpool market has not shown much willingness to follow th; rapidly advancing prices locally. The close today was regarded as a noor response to the action of North American market on the previous day. However, cash wheat in the United King dom market has been very strong lately and tho action of that market Is taken as a true reflector of the supply and de mand situation 01 the other side. The Argentine news today was extreme ly bullish and accounted for much of the buying seen. George keCount. a local ••xpert. now In Argentine, cabled from Buenos Aires that "heavy acreage in the southwest was lost and stock turned Into fields." He estimated that half n crop was a fair expectat Ion. The Buenos Aires wheat market has been showing considerable strength of late. Foreigners for some time have been holding out of the export market in North America, figuring that their later nee<l# would l»e supplied to an appreciable ex tent by southern hemisphere grain. If the surplus in the Argentine is as small ;• many advices indicate, it lAoks ns though Europe is in a bad way for food stuffs this season. Clearances of wheat and flour from North America this week showed a mod erate falling off. totaling 7.073.000 bushels t gainst 9.536.000 bushels last week and I S.031.000 bushels a year ago. The ship ments from North America so far this season have been about 65.000.000 bushels in excess of last year's clearances for the sumo period, and It is only natural to look for some moderation. Europe is con -turning wheat rapidly enough. The de creases In the oc?an supply figures have been greater than the falling off In world shipments the last month. Omaha Grain ---——' Omaha.

[Persistent Buying Again,Feature of Half-Dav Session Sentiment Continues Bullish, Although Without the Fervor of Last Few Weeks. By RICHARD 8PIM.AMK. I'nlvcrsal Service .Financial Kdltor. Nftw York. Dec. 20.—Again, but In a I modified form, the stock market today followed the lines of the day before. The opening was matfe Wttfl various Issues showing jumps of 1. 2 or 3 points over night. Apparently there was no diminu tion in the ardor to buy. Philadelphia & Heading Coal and Iron was the prime feature of the day. Buy ing has been persistent In the security for the last Week. Again there was no uniformity to the market! Some of the rails were up and others down. I nited States Steel’moved | little. There were considerable advances1 In various specialties, together with profit taking in volume in others. Sentiment continues strongly bullish, but there is not the fervor to it that was so pronounced a little while affu. The market has been too wild. How big the market has been is evi denced by today’s transactions, which were at the rate of more than 2,000.000 shares for a full day. When it is con sidered that tin* wire trouble so serious on Friday continued today, the breadth of the market can be appreciated. Foreign exchange, steady. The census bureau ginning report was higher than generally expected and the result was to take all the spirit tem porarily out of the bulls. Wire (rouble interfered with communi cation between New York and the «’hi cago hoard of trade. While quotations were received with fair regularity, there was litric in the way of grain market information that got through. | New York Quotations V_/ New York stock exchange quotations furnished by J.
