CHICAGO, Sept. 28. Buylno; of an ex
cellent character strengthened the wheat
rrmrket today after a lower start. At the
outset there was free soiling- by traders aa
well as liquidation for foreign account on
the belief that Oreeco would enter the war
on the side of the Allies.
This action was tho result of fears that
tho steps to be taken by tho Hellenic nation
would have the samo effect on values as
did tho'bcRlnnlnK of hostilities by l.utnanla
against the Teutons, when nn enormous
wave of selling caused a crash In prices.
The purchasing power today, however,
wbb more than sufficient to take caro of the
sales.
Crop accounts from Argentina were not
favorable, although Broomhall had advices
that caused some pressure at Liverpool, lie
asserted that the prospects were for a
heavy yield In the North, with a few ex
ceptions, nnd that tho outlook In the South
and "Wost was magnificent, although rain
was wanted.
The English market also was affected
by the political outlook. Exports from
Argentina for the week were estimated at
800,000 bushels, against 1,072,000 bushels
last week.
The tone here was helped by reports that
foreigners were repurchasing, buying by
shorts, lack of moisture In Argentina and
a good demand from millers.
