LIGHTSELLING SENDS FUTURE PRICES LOWER Disappointing News From English Mart Causes Profit-Taking. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—Wheat prices sagged under profit-taking and scattered selling on the disappointing action at Liverpool as the Board of Trade opened today. The English market also suffered profittaking selling, and while the situation was unchanged, the market was lower. France raised the foreign milling quota another 5 per cent to 25 per cent, but it had little effect at the start. Support Is Fair There was fair support after the opening. Stocks were irregular. Corn was easy with wheat. Oats was dull and lower. At the opening wheat was % to % cent lower, corn was U to % cent lower and oats U to 4 cent lower. Provisions were steady. Liverpool opened higher, as expected. but could not hold its gains, reacting to J * to % cent lower at mid-afternoon. Corn Shorts Cover The sharp advance in corn Wednesday was credited to short covering as a result of the oversold condition growing out of the decided bearishness that, has ruled the market of late. Buenos Aires is advancing as damage is revealed in the crop there. Bulges in oats bring selling on the part of northwest interests, but this has had little effect so long as the other grains have shown strength. The cash demand is disappointing, as is the case in corn.
