CHICAGO, December 13—Unsettled weather in Argentina and suggestions of crop damage there tended to make wheat average a little higher in price here today during the early dealings. ! Prospects of enlarged demand for | food products in_ Germany counted also as a bullish factor. Besides, pit offerings were light and deliveries on December contracts were much smaller than had been looked for. The opening, which ranged from 1 to % higher, with December 1.04% and May 1.09% to 1.08%, was fol- lowed by a slight setback and then by_fresh upturns. Corn and oats were firmer with wheat. After opening at i off to a like advance, May 3% to T4, the corn market scored slight general gains. N Oats started % to % up. May 46 to 461%. and later held near to the initial range. i Higher quotations on hogs gave firmness to provisions. i WHEAT - Opea. High. Close, December . LN 104N 12 ARBswanSHaBan Mo Pacific 6s.
