Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 18. he price decline
taking place in grain markets was un
checked in today's session and final
levels were at the extreme low points
recorded since the downturn com
menced. Apparently liquidation has
not spent its force in the leading
cereal, while a heavy portiop of the
selling in coarse grains was of this
nature.
Commitments in the shape of short
selling were extensive in all pits and
stop loss orders were numerous on
the way down. A lack of speculative
buying was one of the principal weak
ening factors, though the economic
and financial conditions existing at
j resent counted strongly in the ac
tion of the markets.
Resting spots showed wheat 3(5
SyZc lower than yesterday. Corn was
H(alc lower, with the December
delivery losing least, owing to pur
chases by strong commission houses,
causing the spread in that cereal to
narrow to c at the finish. Oats
ruled Ti(a)lc lower and rye, ZiV2c
lower.
Trade was featured bv additional sell
ing by commission houses with eastern
Clientele. Local bears were more ag
gressive on the short side of the market
and there was a disposition on the part
or some oi tne recent bulls to put out a
few lines under the present unfavorable
business conditions. There was evidence
of further liquidation, but it was be
lieved that the outstanding long interest
Is limited. Support was meager and the
only buying appeared to be in way of ac
cepting profits of former saks. All
bulges met with Increased selling pres
sure.
Corn Hit. Low Mark.
Corn aKaln set new low marks for tho
season. Commission houses operated on
both sides of the market ana tnere was
quite a bit of pressure from the bears.
Crop news was mixed, but reports gen
erally were of an unravoraoie cnaracier.
December corn was picked up by strong
Interests and the difference between this
month and September was narrowed to
c at one time. Short, covered on tho
break, causing a slight rally. Country
offer nea to arrive continue in o'g ui-
mensinns. desDite the fact that farmers
are being paid the lowest price for .heir
product since 1908.
oats presentea a ratner
during the first hour, but eased slightiy
later when wheat gave way. The un
uP,nn. nf th market looked better, how-
evet, and commission' house, were good
buyer, on the dips. uasn, oats oas.s was
strong, with No. 2 white oats selling at
c under September and No. 3 white at
4 6c under.
Cash rye, 23e lower. No. 2 .old at
$1.05. No. 3. at $1.0001.02, and No. 4
