CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—Although tite wheat market showed a Ii newal | of strength at the opening today, de-| ssion quickly set in again. Initial) urns were ascribed to a disposition in some quarters to take a less bear ish view of the governmer report that was general at the close yester. day. On the other hand uneasiness over the industrial outlook tended to deprive the market of port. Open- ing quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to ic higher, with December $1.10 to $1.11 and May $1.14 to $1.15 were followed by mater- ial declines aJl around. Subsequently, deapite liberal export buying, December and Mas: auliveries touched the lowest level yet this sea- son. Financial conditions in Europe recelyed considerable attention. The close was unsettled, 3% to 4Ko net jJower with December $1.05% to 31.05% and May $1.09% to $1.10 Corn and oats were relatively firm. Smallness of receipts had a bullish in. Muence. Corn, after opening unchang: ed to te higher, Decomber 46c to 46%4c, hardened a little more and then reacted somewhat. Oats started un- changed to %c off, December 32%c to 32% and later ecored slight gen eral gains. Export inquiries helped Jater to sus tain values. The close was steady at the same as yesterd: finish to % to %c lower with Decemt er at 46c. Provisions were lower with hogs. Closing Quotations. CHICAGO, Oct. 18.
