Chicago. Dec. 11.—Reacting from the
heavy anrl persistent profit taking of the
lasf row sessions, the wheat market today
drifted steadily lower and closed at the
bottom. Fair support In the way of rest
ing orders tended to regulate the decline,
^cwi developments were without feature
and the trade generally assumed u wait
ing attitude. •
Wheat closed 1 V* © l % c lower, corn was
3^»©*Vwc lower, oats were down and
rye ruled 1©ltfcc lower.
Humors were out to the effect that
private* settlements were effected in wheat
and corn fo> December delivery atra wralle
th.* trade figured such an occurrence
probably took place still there ^hs no
confirmation. However, as always, the
reports unsettled traders and slowed up
the volume of business. Outside Interests
.also wore light.
The seaboard confirmed export sales
of 800.000 bushels. largely Manitoba*,
Kniland. Italy. Antwerp, Rotterdam and
Hitmen, bought wheat. France cancelled
some. Harley sales were 100,000 bushels.
Rye trade, dull. Liverpool wheat/futures
were off l3fe©lVsd at the dose.
Support in the corn pit has dropped
off abruptly and longs have been eager,
to take profits. The settlement tnlk was
more disconcerting us regards corn than
wheat. The country offerings of this
grain were only moderate, and I he de
mand for the cash article was good, but
speculative buying power fell off. Rains
in the Argentine attracted plenty of long
corn from commission houses and locals
were inclined to press the selling side.
Kastem selling on oats futures took
th* edge off this grain. On the dips good
buying was evidenced, but the flurries
were not held.
Rye was slow and reactionary. Buying
of December rye whs credited to the lead
ing bull, while a local elevator interest
sold December and bought May at 3\c
difference.
Provisions opened firm but eased grad
ually. Lard closed 12 Vi ©20c lower ami
ribs closed 12,*c lower.
Pit Notes.
Considering the rapiditv of the recent
advance in wheat the reaction today spoke
well for the underlying strength of the
jivirk.d. In normal times, unlike these.
th<* trained man in the grain business
would expect to sec ciuite a severe break,
considering the enormous amount of
realizing that it canie in from all direc
tions of the recent high points. But this
break of such size has not come and it
hardly will. There are too many people
willing to buy on anv kind of a reaction,
dip nr weak spot.
The willingness on the part of the
speculator to buy wheal explains the
sustained advance in prices since last
stunmer. There have been only two or
tbret ftharp setbacks experienced in thut
time and world conditions today look
every bit as strong if not stronger than
they were a month ago or so. The close
adjustment of world supply and demand
is still very apparent.
Primary wheat receipts dropped near
Hie million mark today. A little over, a
week ago thev were averaging above t?.
000,000 bushels dally. Thar* la no doubt
but that the farmer Is als.Ct iold out on
the bulk of his crop. Clearances of wheat
■will probably remain large for the next
three months at least. Supplies on ocean
.passage are decreasing. Foreign consump
tion Is said to be progressing at a rapid
i ate.
One hears appreciable activity in the
domestic milling trade. In the north^test
mills continue to bid eagerly for the
choice grades, but they are finding no
lift's trouble In flUit^i their needs. Pre
miums In the northwest markets are well
held. Red wheat is scarce in every mar
hot nnd Is apparently headed for a big
premium over the future delivery. Slocks
of wheat In millers hands cannot be very
large'. The extent of home consumption
is \ery satisfactory according to authori
ties. .and It Is likely that the domestic
demand will tend to facilitate Inroads
into the visible supply which at present
* looks large.

New York. bet*. 11.—For a goodly part
of the forenoon today the stock marks*
looked sour. Prices melted la a way to
depress security holders and bull spec
ulators alike. Home of the highly active
ibsueri were down ;t to 83* points from
the lop of Wednesday and, as usual, iu
buoh circumstances there was a plethora
of depressing rumors afloat. One was
to the effect that the federal reserve re
discount rate was to be raised.
United States Steel gave no evidence
of strength. Jl dropped tdowlje but
steadily until It got to 115V which was
3V below its high of the day before.
Students of the market watched steel
particularly. Some of them contended that
when the turn was coming that security
would give the signal. Events proved, or
seemed to prove, they were correct.
Well along in the forenoon word came
that Shoatson Hammll floor brokers were
buying steel. A little later steel turned
upward ami In due time most of the
others followed. The reaction apparently
had spent most of Its force.
There were txf«nded gains in some is
sues. such as Lehigh Valley, International
•'ombustiori Engineering. May Department
Htroes. New Orleans. Texas & Mexico, the
various iMiues of commercial solvents, the
Fries, West Penn and Utah Securities.
This, with ths action of steel, led to
short covering in the last hour but the
market showed considerable irregularity
toward the close. Home sugars were up
and some were down. It was so, too, with
ih*» rails, the oils and various others but
«he- tone was much better than the day
before.
