Show WHEAT PRICES OFF ON HEM RECEIPTS Corn Is Also Bearishly Affected; Af-fected; Oats Hold Own, With Fair Demand. CHICAGO, ..Sept. 27. Wlieat prices declined de-clined today, rendered heavy by the largest receipts so far this season in the American and Canadian Northwest. Although Al-though unsettled at the close, quotations were ic to 31c net lower, with December at 94c and May at 963c. Corn finished ic to 3c down and oats off ic to ijc, but provisions up 5c to 30c. Fresh arrivals of wheat today at the various markets In North America were estimated as amounting to the high aggregate ag-gregate of 8,000,000 bushels. In this connection con-nection it was said that rural elevators in the northwestern states now hold 20,000,000 bushels, a sufficient supply to furnish for some time liberal receipts at the leading spring crop terminals. Nevertheless, Never-theless, except in the September option here,' the depression of values was less pronounced .than might have been looked for, the fact being that, notwithstanding the heavy movement, the accumulation of stocks at big centers was not yet up to what a majority of traders appeared to expect. As a result, the May and July deliveries, although finally giving way, held for a considerable interval at a moderate mod-erate advance over Saturday night's level. Wet weather and a forecast of more tended somewhat to make the wheat bulls stubborn. Besides, a fair export demand was evident at the seaboard. Mediterranean Mediter-ranean countries In particular were represented rep-resented as having purchased flour with' a freedom that was quite unusual. Corn, like wheat, was bearishly affected affect-ed by the enlarged receipts. The temperatures tem-peratures appeared to be more or less offset by reports of Argentina shipments reaching New York in excellent condition. In oats the smallness of offerings seemed relatively steady as compared with the quotations of other grains. Eastern demand de-mand was fair. Investment buying on the part of packers pack-ers and their followers more than counteracted counter-acted in the provision market the effect of the New York embargo of shipments of livestock from Chicago. For the time being most of the provision traders avoided the selling side. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES. Wheat Open. Tlfgh. Low. CIo.
