Show PRICES FDR WHEAT j CONTINUE UPGRADE I Unfavorable Harvest Weather,! in Parts of Argentina One I of the Causes. CHICAGO, Dec. 8. Unfavorable har- vest -weather In parts of Argentina, and 15 reduced estimates of the Argcntlno ex- portable surplus carried wheat prices to- j day upgrade. I-alest prices were ner- s vous, but iBc to SSflc abo'o last night. I Corn closed unchanged to ;c higher, oats e, at an advanco of ic to Qlc and provl- alons dearer by 216o to 15c. t Wheat speculators gave most atten- Hon to the doubtful outlook for tho Ar- I gentlno harvest, as the crop in tho 8puth American country was said by ono of tho leading houses hero to be In such I a precarious condition that a consider- J able further cutting down of the es- i tlmated export surplus might be ex- ; pected before tho harvest was half com- : plete. Threshing returns so far were , regarded as notably disappointing. y Reactions In tho wheat market were j chiefly duo to profit taking by holders. I Thcro were official estimates that 19 per cont of tho Kansas crop would be I fed to livestock. In addition, northwost- ern elevator supplies promlsod a falling n off of nearly 1,000,000 nushels this week, against an Increase of 1.77C.000 bushols , a year ago. Corn prices hardened, a result uuo largely to rough weather ahead. Country dealers, recognizing their prospective Inability In-ability to deliver, wero btiBy taking off hedges made for December. Elevator companies were all buying oatB, of which thcro seemed to bo a scarcity of offerings. Primary receipts dwindled. , . Buvlng on the part of a speculator and a western packor had much to do with an advanco In provisions. Tho upturn waa helped by rising markota for grain and hoga. P.ANGE OF THE LEADING nmmUB.
