Show PRICES FDR WHEAT ; ABOUT STfiTlffl Harvest Weather Improving in the Argentine Republic; Corn Is Lower. CHICAGO. Dec. 6. Harvest weather Improving today In Argentina allowed tho wheat markot to nwlng a little toward the bear side. Prices closed Ann, however, at the same as last night to lc docllno. Corn finished Jic to s2c down; oats varying from ic off to a like amount up, and provisions lower by 2ic to 7ic. No great amount of realizing or liquidating liqui-dating attended the bearish reaction In wheat. Reports of wheat Jointing and having abnormal growth in Kansas and clso-whero clso-whero southwest wore Influential In averting bear pressure. Tho market was steadied also oy a forecast that world shipments next week would be light. Although com was firm In tho December Decem-ber option, while largo shorts wero covering cov-ering at tho beginning of the day, prices later declined all around. Unsettled weather seemed to havo lost effect as a stimulus for the bulla. Instead, more than ono of tho leading holders took profits on a liberal scale. Sentiment regarding re-garding oats was decidedly unsettled. Most of the business consisted in cash houses changing December to May at 3c discount, tho smallest dlfferenoo ao far this Hcason. Heaviness developed In provisions after aft-er a sharp advance at the start. The weak feeling notlccablo was oharged mainly to sympathy with the depression In corn.
