Drouth Advice from Argent I ma Caoee rurther Blue In Wheat. Chicago, Oct. 10. Possibilities of renewed tension between Germany and the tin i tail States regarding submarln warfare, did a gooo aeai today to handicap th bulla In wheat Largely as a result, th market ciosea unsettled at 110 h to 180 for De cember and 187 to 187 for May, with ine mar Ket a a whole on to u compared with Saturday' finish. Corn showed a net loss of 1 to 8 4 and oat off i i li. in provisions in outcome ranged from 16 decline to a rise of ten cent. wneat at nrt displayed a decided tend ency to advance. Influenced by Increased drouth damage In Argentina and by word ma. owing 10 continued, not, dry weather, the Ronarlo market waa excited and l i cent higher. Besides, world shipments of the week was before requirements. The fact however, that some of the newspaper here put big headlines on report of peace lam m me nerman iteicnstag was quickly taken to advantage of by the bears and when this news wa followed by advlcea or ine ainking or a steamer which had many Americans aboard, ths market under! went a aerie of setbacks which were ac cerated to some extent by an increase both in me, domestic ana candalan vlslbl sup Ply. 1 Bftror tried ownturni began In th wheat maricet new high or ce levels were tAuchad well abov,any recently attained.

Nevertheless, on th decline ine near appeared to have overreached inemseive ana in order to cover were compelled to hold up ptlce sharply Just at th close. I Enlarged receipt made th corn market weak during most of th season, besides neavy speculative selling of corn accom panied tn break in th value or wheat.

The. strong; Argentine cables forced an early rise In wheat, bul the lack of exports often caused a slight reaction In the wheat market during the early trading hour. The wheat situation has narrowed down to a question of supply and demand and a long as forelgnen are willing to pay exhorbltant prices for our grain the market will In all probability hold its present high level. Corn held within a very narrow range and did not seem Inclined to follow wheat very closely. y Oats opened steady, but aold a fraction lAwer, with the early decline In wheat. Heavy selling at the close of th market caused a slump in wheat which was fol lowed by rather big declines In the corn and oats market Local range ot option t Art Open. High. Low.
