CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Wheat traders were in- glined to hold off for Secretary Shaw's final decision with regard to the pi backs on Canadian wheat milled in hond 'l'h' | decision the traders expected would be an- nounced to-morrow. Uncertainty as to the effect impelled cautious longs to unload and resulted in a loss of %c to ¥c at the bpenln‘, the initial price of May being $1 (9% @1 00%. Large Northwestern arrivals were also a fac- tor in producing weakness. A report that the yield in Argentina was blighted to a consider- able cxtent and the cold weather was rotarding growth caused enough buying to advance the price ot May to $1 1 The betterment from this source, however, s0on passed and on the reaction May sold off to $1 0Sl5. onc of the most important causes of the downward ten- dency of pi . wie lack of sup The close was easy, %@%c lower, at 1 08% for May delivery, *c above the low point of the day.
