As a falling off of only 214,000 bushels in the domestic -sock of wheat was tn violent contrast with last week's cut down of 1,748,000 bushels, prices broke sharply dur ing ths last hour of trading. In prenrtous dealings the market had rison to within eeats aX ths highest cuotaUaaa aa ths pres- ent crop, and had an overbought appearanos which in Itself tempted many holders to unload. The upturn waa apparently on the basis that European needs were so urgent there could be no lack of demand for ail the wheat available. . Defeat of Congressional efforts to sanction the arming of United States merchant ves sels had a depressing influence on the wheat market at the outset, bat the bearish effect seemed to have disappeared alto gether before 48 mlntea had elapsed. Corn fell with wheat after having touched new high record prices. The extraordinary strength of the hog market was the chief bullish factor. At times, buying was on a huge scale much of it for a prominent spec ulator here. Oats showed some Independent strength. There was said to bo a pressing call for oats In Canada.
