L - Chicago Grain Market. | o— D CHICAGO, Sept. 12 —At the immediate open- ing In wheat yesterday's bullish Government crop report did not have any appreciable effect on prices. On the contrary the market was in- clined toward weakness, the bears taking for their cue the heavy Northwest recelpts, offering wheat in considerable quantities. The result was small declines in everything. It was evi- dent that the Government report, which indi- cated a total crop of something like 457,000,- 000 bushels, was not %o lightly regarded in the country, for outside buying orders began to stream in shortly after the opening. The buy- ing was so brisk in comparison with the recent duliness that for the time being it took ' the breath away from the professional bears and prices shot upward with considerable rapidity. December opened a shade lower at 71@7lic | and reached T1%c before realizing became heavy | ‘enough to cause a temporary setback. The tone of the floor gradually became decidedly bullish, the sentiment. being strengthened by outside buping, and shorts covered freely. Prices kept on the up grade until within thirty minutes of the close, with the broadest business in weeks. December advanced to TI%@72c. This was well above call fizures, but no re- action of importance took place until the post- ing of Bradstreet's flgures on the world's visi- ble, showing an (ncrease of 4,935,000 bushels. This was far beyond what the tradé anticipated and had an !mmediate effect. In the meantime shorts had covered generally and the selling movement whick started found little opposi- tion, Prices dropped rapldly from that time to the close, though September was given bet- ter support than the more distant futures. De- cember was the object of a determined raid by professional bears, and at the close all of the earlier advance had disappeared. December de- clined to 71@M%c, and was bringing that price at the close. September closed with a gain of e at 70%e. Corn ‘was fairly active and irregular. The market early felt the Government report, con- siderable outside buying being done, especially in deferred futures. Later in the day the mar- ket became weak and all the advance was lost. December closed a shade higher and Septem- ber a shade lower. Oats were firm” and higher, though not maintaining best prices. The 'market was steady at the close. December closed with a gain of He to %e. Provisions were weak all day and closed at the bottom of a substantial decline. Hog prices were lower and vellow fever news was Isquieting.
