programme at the opening. 1t started weak at
about Sac below the closing price of the previous
day and continued to rule duh and heavy fer an
hour. A little more life was infused into the
market at the end OF that time. and a slight in
crease in activity was accompanied by a rath err
frmer feeling. The situation had more out
wardly changed since the day before Chicago
receipts were to-day 78,499, and the shipments
1882. Tie primary market receipts including
those at Kansas City, amounted to about 800, 600
bushels.

the principal Atlantic ports amounted to the re-
spective total of $50, 900 bushels. Foreign mar
kets were generally weak and lower at the open
Ing. Berlin was the exception. December open ed
ere at 53jsc as against 531ac the close OF the

worried down around 53Isc near the middle of
the day, and scratch sale made at 53c.

acted firm, closing al 5314c bid for December
Corn was very weak at the opening aud became
weaker as the session progressed up to about II
O'Clock. In that time cent per DusneI had been
knocked off the value of the head of the close on
the preceding day. Tho very first transaction
shook the price down Zee, the opening trades N
May being at range OF 493s@491ac compared
with SEC closing day previous 1t ruled firm for
while and reacted to 497sc. but shortly after II
O'Clock II had slid down to acc. there was an
other reaction which carried the price nm again
to 4912c, but everybody seemed to have corn for
