Oct. 13.-A report that Japan u buying wheat In India waa Influential In the market lor thai cereal today, and With the added Impetus afforded by a harp cash demand, Uecember closed with a net cam of lc. Corn, on the other hand, yielded to doroestlo condition and dropped U'uSc. December oata cloned V4o down and provisions for January delivery unchanged lo 12"4o higher. The demand for December wheat waa quite sharp, but the offering were limited and ea a reault the price of the delivery allowed a food fain. Shorta were active buyer throughout the entire amnion and the demand trom thla aource waa respon sible for much of the advance.

A feature of the trading In oata waa the eng out through brokers of ft big long line of May for a prominent operator and thia selling was responsible for the weak tone which developed early In the day.

An actunl decline of 1 point In Reading second pte- icrrea on tne declaration of Its Initial divi dend also pointed to the conclusion that good news was taken advantage of to liquidate stock. But the fact became very evident early today that the pressure of liquidation waa almost entirely relaxed.

The reported contract of ta TTnttad States Steel corporation for fumlshlns steel to a great shipbuilding company in Great Britain was also regarded as a promising development The demands of tne employes or Manhattan failed to create alarm. Banks seem to have rained nnwarda of 31,000.000 of cash reserves for the week, an that another week's advance has been made without the development of the customary western aemana ror currency. The ar rival at the mid-October season la felt to Insure the safety of the corn crop. But wnue xnese ractors may nave aided In the recovery, the dominant factor evi dently was an aggressive leadership of the market against the short interest. which waa made successful by the cessa tion of liquidation, the banks having an- parently completed a process of clearing out undesirable collateral which they have been nursing for some time past ine rise or pointa in united states Steel preferred and of 3V4 points In Amal gamated Copper made those stocks the market leaders, although there were some less active stocks which showed some larger advances.

Aside from those few loada, however, the market waa very alow and lu'JOo lower than yesterday morning, or fully a dime lower than yesterday a bad cloae. Packers were bidding 16 .x6 30 for heavies, Jo. SO J 686 for mediums, hlle the lights sold from that up to 35.60. Salesmen were hardly prepared to take off aa much aa 30o on ths heavy hoga and aa a result trading waa vary alow and tt was late be fore a clearance was made. The cloae of the market was very slow and weak at the decline, the last sales being fully 20c lower than yesterday morn ing. At noon there were still some tralna back, so ths market did not come to a close until a late hour. Representative Ms. Av. th. Pr. Na. Av. St. rr- M 114 S IX 44 M4 III 10 Itl ...
