GRAIN FUTURES MOVE UPWARD ON BULL NEWS Reversal of Sentiment in Securities Reacts on All Options. Hu I nited Prc CHICAGO. Dec. 18.—^Wheat was steady to a small fraction higher on the Board of Trade today, the firmness in foreign markets offsetting the selling induced by the government’s report. July wheat again followed the general conditions while the old crop months plodded along in their stabilized rut. Corn was firm but there was some pressure on July. Oats were rather slow but higher. At the opening wheat was unchanged to cent higher and July % .cent up. corn was % cent lower to % cent higher and oats were % to ig cent higher. Provisions were quiet but December acted tight. Liverpool Up Liverpool responded to the rise here Wednesday, in part, and strengthened during the day, being lti to 1% cents higher at midafternoon. Buenos Aires was advancing slowly but steadily and •* cents up just before noon. The government report late on Wednesday was regarded as slightly bearish on wheat, however the changes from the previous figures were not sufficient to influence the trade greatly. The chief factor in the advance Wednesday was the sharp rally in stocks and the sudden change in sentiment in all speculative markets. The sentiment in July is mostly bearish, the drop to the lowest point in twenty-nine years acting as a deterrent to sellers. Sentiment Bullish A few traders were inclined to see the government estimates on corn as slightly bullish. All coarse grains were placed somewhat under the previous estimates. Sentiment was optimistic in the general improvement. Light to heavy snows were received in the belt overnight. Oats are expected to partake of the more cheerful outlook and advance in sympathy wtih the other grains. Coarse grains were considerably higher at Liverpool this morning.
