(ONE AT CLOSE IS WEAK jreiUina l3 Offering Grain Clieaper in "Cnited States Than Domestic Values. CHICAGO, Sept. 14. Sudden weakness seized the wheat market late today, after an early display of strength. The downturn, whlh in some cases amounted to 7 cents a bushel as compared with top prices of the day, was accompanied by assertions that Argentine wheat was being offered cheaper In the United states tnan domestic wneai. and by unconilrmea rumors tnat aweaen uua decided to go to war. presumably against Great Britain. Something of a recovery ensued, but prices closed weak, lc to 2c net lower, with December at i.as $1.49. and May at $1.49 to $1.49. Corn lost Vic to Mc and oats c to c. In pro visions the outcome ranged from 5 cents decline to a rise of 32 cents. Previous to the late setback in wneat prices, the market had been tending up ward the. greater part of the day. Influ enced by announcements that the Greek government had purchased In the United States 1.0O0.00O bushels of wheat and C0.000 barrels of flour. Another source of strength was the firmness of prices at Liverpool where sellers were withdrawing offers, and It was said Argentine shipments promised to show a heavv falling off. Corn fell when wheat turned weaK. iieiore that time the market had scored a decided advance, owing to predictions of a wide- soread frost tonight that might result in serious damage to a large fraction of the crop. Oats swayed with corn ana wneat. lid- eral export buying proved Insufficient as an offset to Increased offerings in the last hour. Provisions bulged on account or reports of big purchasing for Belgian relief. Profit taking on the part of Tuesday's buyers formed a noticeable feature and tended to ease prices down at the last.
