Closing quotations were unsettled at 3-4c to 1 1-8 net_decline. December 99 5-8c to 99 7-8 and May 1.04 3-4 to 1.04 7-8. Corn lost 3-83@1-2 to 7-8, oats finished a shade off to 5-8 up, and provisions varying from 7c decline to 5c advance. As a rule, wheat traders assumed that resumption of work {n railroad shops would bring about a material increase of the movement of grain, although it might be some weeks before the result slooked for were wholly achieved. In addition to the strike settlement news, a sharp break in foreign exchange rates together with a downturn in prices for wheat at Liverpool had a bearlsh influence here. It was also pointed_out that whereas primary receipts to date are 40,000,000 bushels smaller than was the case a vear 2go, the visible sup- ply is only 11,000,000 bushels smaller and that the world's available supply shows an increase of 5,847,000 bushels. [ Tnder $1.00 for December, commission house support for the wheat market was better than bear speculators had expected. Besides export demand was fair, with sale of about 500,000 bushels at the sea- board and 600,000 bushels taken here. The_business at the seaboard was said to consist chiefly of wheat grown in anada. It was asserted that Canadian ‘wheat, duty paid, could be laid down at Buffalo 3c under Kansas City dark wheat.
