(Market in Wheat ) Works to Sharp [ Losses at Bell Ali Grain* Carried Down by Reactionary Trend in Lead* ■W Ing,Cereal; Large Trade ypiome. Mr CIMUM I. UETDKK. Unhanlal Bank# Staff Correspondent. Chicago. Dca. 29.—Long wheat came out persistently 1u today a session, and whits good support wa* seen at times, tits market worked erratically to sharp losses at the bell. The belief brewing in tbs trada for ssrsral days that prices liars bssn going up too rapidly became mors or loss of a conviction today. All gains wsrs carried down by the re actlphkry trsnd dsvsloping In the lead ing cer#gl. Wheat closed Is to I^o lower, com t*» to T4® down, oat* were ?fcc to l*4o loner and rye ruled lVuo to 3c i>rf. It was Intimated by lorn* pit brokers that big longs were probably reducing linos. Volume of trade was big con sidering the fact that wire service cur tailed outside business. The Liverpool I market closed irregularly, and at the smallest premiums in months compared with Chicago. Tho tenor of foreign news was Inclined to bs bearish In that Argen tine wheat was reported pressing for aala at sharp discounts under ours. Tho seaboard confirmed export asles of 200.000 bushtls wheat. Rye business k was nomewfjfcft I’m proved with Norway I taking a cargo and small lots to Ger I many. Wheat closed *4 pence higher to A 14 penes lower at Liverpool. B Corn .n»#t good support early, snrt at §§ times . during ths day, but commission ■ Vtousa sailing* was In. evidence on every A hard Wtmt sad the close was easy. Coun K try cf With gw of corn were reported ln M crease^ *modSrately. Locally the basis ■ was fifliir #The visible «%pply for the f v/sek ncdrfetrtfed 2.322.000 bushels, quite L a sizeable amount. r Oats came in for plenty of support F. but the weakness in wheat gradually *t L i rested sufficient scattered selling to Pl takf the edge off prices, i Rge met extensive selling in the way [ of i caliaiagv sand sold off with other f grains. Arecember rye like December wheat was relatively weak. Provisions displayed a tirm undertone. I ,*>urh was 7V*c higher and ribs were 2'/*c ' to f>4o lower. F rI* Notes. A T#te United States visible supply of " wheat decreased 2.332.000 bushels for the w««r. The reduction was somewhat l larger than expected. Buffalo stocks wett* lowered considerably due to the takings of around 1.000,000 bushels whdat after the last week by domestic ti.lifers. Gulf ports showed a fair de crease but Atlantic ports increased. Tho face that we entering 1925 with a visible 20 0110.0(rtPbusfibls larger than a year ago gave vet^t to the idea that the shortage theories. are nipt likelf to work out for aome time, If at all. Some of the big cash interests In the trade were out with articles advising farmers of the United States to market as much of their remaining wheat as possible at current high levels inasmuch as ■'the southern hemisphere farmer is underselling now in large amounts. It wid pointed out that duly wheat In s*»U !ng*at such a. big discount under the .May thajt itrTo hfghly improbable that the latter can Tftafntain such premiums with ethv surplus grain ready for market. An American crop expert In the Argentina sdvised that a liberal move ment of wheat is on from Rosario and [ that In his opinion exportations will ' re ash their maximum early in February. PriSate reports In the local trade had it that storage space in Liverpool was be coming scarce, the Inference being that Stmfics were fairly plentiful there. 'One run of wheat from the farms 1n this country remains light, and it Is un likely that receipts will increase very i mush alter ths turn of the year. Mar L. lettings hsvs been enormous to date. The ■ dengnd for cash wheat in the northwest ^ wag fairly active with ihe basis strong todfcjV R«d wheat st St. Louis sold at $1 A VtfahsL Locallv red premiums were up^|sA bushel. The extent of foreign hMjlWN>f eur wheat will be watched ctoiply lot the next few days. ; CHICAGO PRICES. BiUPbaik, Grain company, Atlantia 631?. IQp.n. | High. | Low. | Clo,».

Fi»i vernal Service Financial Ktlltor. Now York, Deo. 29.—There were cross currents enough today in the stock mar ket to make it one of the most Irregular sessions or the year. Various Issues in which the transactions were in large vol uine had advances of from 3 to 7% points. At the same time, there were declines of 2 to 4 points in eight or 10 Issues ot fall prominence. Most of the news bearing on the mar ket was bearish. Call money went to per cent, the highest since April. Railroad reports were of various charac ters, some good and some otherwise. For eign exchange was strong, sterling being at 47 t *». the highest since 1919. when the eurrem > went unpegged by the lit it iah government. One factor that had more direct bear ing on the bond market perhaps than the stock market was the position taken by France in relation to her war debt. The regular leaders of the stock mar ket did not play such a prominent part as usual. Radio corporation exceeded V. S. Steel In volume of transactions, and Simms Petroleum was unusually active. Ralls w.*re comparatively neglected and most of them were lower. Various of the independent steels were strong. Indus trials. as a rule, were droopy. Sugar, with few exceptions, was weak. So were most of the merchandisers, the coppers, and various of the motor stocky. Despite the remarkably largo advances In some of the issues heavily dealt, in, the net result was an average decline of about two-fifths of a point in the rails, and more than half a point in tho in dustrials. Transactions again exceeded 2,000,000 shares. After a little show of strength early In the session, the grains turned weak. Ex port business was very small and domestic demand was hesitant at present prices. c’otton was clue to open aligthly lower, hut an unusual number of buying orders which had accumulated over Sunday led to a wide spread in prices In the first few minutes of business, some of the options being up to 30 or more points. • [New York Quotations] V/ New York fftock exchange quotations furnished by J.
