Early " Upturn :;: Attracts
: Flood of Selling;
.v. Close Higher . ,
- CHICAGO, Sept. t.-iJPf-ln the
most hectic war market In more
than two - decades, grain ; price
swung up and down erratically to
day as m 1 1 1 1 o n a of Bushels
changed hands in Chicago's world
famous trading pits.
Prices soared as much as 6 cents
In the turbulent wheat pit then
tumbled 2 cents or more as trad
ers sought to follow, the news
from Europe. 1 The early upturn
attracted a flood of selling from
traders who sought to reap prof
Its of 10 cents a bushel or more in
some cases accumulated the past
two days. ; i '-i-'
The closing hell, found prices of
all grains fluctuating nervously
and irregularly. Wheat closed -3
cents higher than yesterday,
September 7-4, December 77-
76. '-V
Even up Accounts
i Because of the uncertainties of
the European situation and. the
double holiday ahead most dealers
desired to even up their accounts
against possible developments
while the markets is closed over
the .week end.
The wavering of prices permit
ted a heavy trade, in sharp con
trast to yesterday's deadlocked
market that'resultd from the fact
that prices rose as high as rules
permitted early in the session and
could " go no higher. There" were
plenty of sellers today and only
deferred wheat contracts and May
corn and oats touched the -daily
maximum limits of 6, 4 and 3
cents respectively.
As has been the case most of
this week, normal market factors
were virtually ignored. The quiet
action of the Liverpool wheat
market, which closed only 4-l
cent higher, hardly reflected yes
terday's strong trade here. Inter
national activity In actual wheat
was virtually at a standstill but a
moderate export business was re
ported at Winnipeg and the Dutch
government was understood to
have bought 640,000 bushels' of
Canadian wheat this week for
shipment from New York.
