GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAONER'3 QRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Sept 20. Grain markets are under full control of strike news as regards immediate factor, this robs the market of buyers and creates bulge sellers. More talk of farmers holding corn and 91.00 per hour wages that may support $1.25 corn easily. Locals mainly believe liquidation la completed. They are far less certain of immediate bulges. Over the weekend he chance of strike compromise hangs over the market. Provision situation lacks snap and falls to support corn at the moment. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W.
