Seaboard Exporters Strong; tor Cask Grain Chleags Market to Cent Higher. CHICAGO, Nov. 23. Fear of black rust In Argentina caused wheat to rally sharply In the last half hour of today's session. Prices, after having been heavy most of the time, closed strong, o to c net higher. Other leading staples all finished at a loss, compared with Saturday night; corn c to. c, oats c to 33c and provisions 5 to 15c. Harvest advices from Argentina had been at first decidedly against the bulls. The ensuing upturn in prices here was accom panied by admissions that seaboard ex porters were after cash wheat in large amounts and had taken 1.000,000 bushels in . Chicago alone. Official announcement that the 1014 wheat crop in Kansas was the largest ever raised by that state had a good deal td do with depressing the market early. The bears also had the advantage of an Increase ot 1.912,000 bushels In the visible supply, as against .a falling off of 1,230,00 bushels a year ago. Elevator Belling made the corn market sag. Oars suffered from the closing out of spreads between corn and oats; the latter being sold. Provisions weakened under selling by pickers, who took advaataca aa early upturn, duo to higher prtces for hogs. It was said more libera receipts at the yards here, were expected later in the week.

MAY OCCUR THIS WEEK fconflicting Opinions as to Probable Extent of Foreign Offerings. Germans 3laJ B6 Heavy Sellers Money Easier. NEW YORK. Nov. S3. That the Stock Exchange IS Quite certain to reopen for limited business before the end of the month was the substance of the assurances received today from responsible banking and brok erage authorities. It was declared that a majority of the banks with Wall Street con nections now favor resumption of bond trading, Bubject, of course, to price con cessions. A canvass of the more important local banking interests elicited conflicting opinion respecting the probable extent of foreign offerings pf American bonds in the event bf an earlv renewal of . dealings. Some) houses of prominence asserted that buying orders on their books far exceeded offers to sell, but the prospective demand. It was added, was limited almost entirely to high- grade issues. Houses with German connections freely admitted the possibility of heavy selling orders .and Intimations along these lines were also conveyed by bankers represent ing French and Dutch Interests. It was noteworthy, however, that these overshadowing factors exercised little if ally influence on the business transacted during the day lh the private market for bonds, all of which Were at or near the recent high levels. , Reopening tif the ChlcagS Stock Exchange attracted considerable attention. The fact that sOme of the more active stocks traded in there .changed hands at prtces approx imating Jnly 30 ouotations was observed with satisfaction. Dealings were on a mod erate scale and denoted much caution. The market for foreign exchanges tailed to reflect any developments of importance acrbss the water. Cables and sight bills nn l.nnrton Wera notably higher, because of an Increased demand; In which cotton figured prominently. Money for all dates was offered at B per cent; Indicating further monetary ease. Western banks put out considerable sums through their local correspondents. News from the Middle West Indicated an "awakening bf activity In various lines of industry, although rail traffic was lower by 5 to 10 per cent than a year ago. Grain receipts at Chicago Were much lower than In the preceding week, but more than 4,000, 000 bushels in excess of 1918. GAIN 111 STOCK VALUES lUtlCES AT CHICAGO ARE HIGHER THAN ON JILT 30.

(Speclal.)--Cash rental tor wheat lands is supplanting the share method in Sorho parts of the county. The share method has been followed here practi cally since there were renters for wheal land, though cash has long; been paid by Chinese and Italians who raise vege tables. In the Valley Grove district rentals are about J 2.60 an acre a year, or 15.20 for two years, as crops are raised every other year. While the man who pays cash rental usually raises more than he would oh Shares, it Is claimed the owner Is pleased, as his share Is more this -way than if the farm were worked care lessly, as it sometimes Is on shares. Where wheat land is farmed on shares the owner frets from one-fourth to a third of the crop, according to the location of the land and the nearness of water. WHEAT EXPORT NOW HEAVY Close to 2,006,0 0 0 Bushels Among Sales for Day In Chicago. CrtlGAGO, Nov. S3.
