LIGHT SELLING SENDS FUTURE MARKET DOWN Wheat Slumps on Lack of Support: Corn and Oats Weaker. BY HAROLD E. RAINVTLLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Aug. 18.—Scattered selling found little support on the Board of Trade today and grains opened easy. Wheat was off a minor fraction on an accumulation of overnight sales with the Chinese offer to take wheat from the farm board, haring little effect. Liverpool was dull and easy, haring some effect here. Corn was unevenly lower with more pressure on the nearby months. Oats followed the major grains with great fidelity. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent lower, corn was unchanged to 1 i cent lower, and oats were unchanged to U cent lower. Provisions were off rather sharply on the general weakness. Export Demand Down Liverpool was about as expected although weakening in the late trading to stand *3 to % cent lower at mid-afternoon. There is little expectation that prices will move much either way until after it ia known how* much winter wheat will be put Into the ground this fall or until the export demand improves. The government report on farmers intentions to plant is due Aug. 27 and is being awaited with unusual interest. Much of the trade at present is due to spreading operations between Chicago, Minneapolis and Winnipeg. The weather is warm over the belt although considerably cloudy. Com Traders Bearish Liquidation continues in September corn and that month is down to the 45-cent level and about 4 cents under wheat. Traders are mainly bearish on the prospects of a large crop and are pressing September while buying December. The. feeling is that the two months will sell closer together shortly. Reports of a shortage of feed grains in the northwest owing to the drought are having little effect on oats which is following tha trend of the other grains. The market seems to be ignoring all news.
