CHICAGO, October tJ.-The bears wore on top
In tho gratn-pits this morning. The news WIS
all in their favor and they improved their OPP
portunities 10 slug prices, especially III corn,
with the result of decided slump In the value
OF rhnt article, although there was a partial re-
cOyery later, while Wheat reacted and closed
higher. At no time during the session WAS
wi eat as weak Gs corn and every onslaught was
stubbornly contested. December wheat, which
closed yesterday at 9Slac, Just touched that
figure around the opening and gradually sold
of 10 Csc, reacted 70 ySlic., and remained

prohibited the export OF maize, 10 90 Into effect
tomorrow. THIS gave the stubborn bulls tho
upper hand ana In the last few minutes they
put the price up to 0yls. at which II closed nfm.

cession 10 b24c. around which the market held
for time, but there WAS u rally toward the

52%c. Oats wore duh and steady, with fiuctua-
tions within very narrow limits. Hog products
were strong and higher The recent heavy re-
ductiOn In prices has crent6d very considerable
short interest, which looks for a reaction. and il
