cember 5S to 50.
COItN-There semed to be more
long corn for sale, and there has been
on the decline during the past week
plenty of corn sold on stop orders,
and some of this selling seemed to
be factor in the market this morn
ing After the early weakness prices
hardened fraCtionally, and the trade
waited for the posting of the visible.
This showed only small increase,
and the early gain was held There
was talk about larger receipts of corn
the current week again. The market
has been going through a process of
liquidation of the holdings bought on
the corn scare, ad when this liquida-
tion is over the position of the market
may somewhat change, but until it is.
even the bulls do not look for much
Improvement. Sales at 56p57c.
OATS-There was considerable sell
ing of oats at the opening, partly due
to sympathy with the weakness in
corn ad partly due to expectation of
large increase in the visible supply.

35% 6l36c; No. white at 34M Q3jHc;

business is passing. No. Milwaukee

graded at 60q65c.
BEANS AND PEAS-The trade Is
taking hold of new marrow and pea
beans very slowly, and there is an
easy tone to values, especially on mar
row. Only small lots of red kidney
here, and these going to home trade
at fully sustained prices Old red kid
ney and marrow are still tending
downward under a very limited trade;
stocks light, however, and they Will
not be much of a factor hereafter.

prices. Green pea duh and weak, ex-

BUTTER-Fair interest was shown
in strictl fancy fresh table butter,
and for such the market was quite
firm, possibly showing little more
strength than at the close of last
week but for all other grades trade
was slack and values unimproVcd
Buyers seem to want only the best
and when the supply of that grade is
exhausted, attention is turned to the
lower qualities quite Reluctantly, and
purchases are made on low basis.

CHEESE-Very little business One
or two shippers We're willing to take a
.ew fancy lots on the basis of 10Ac
FOR white. and 1Oc, possibly 10Mc, for
:olored, but the high price of the stock
made sellers unwilling to accept those
| figures until the position was listed a
| title more fully. The fact that the
| cables from across the water quote
! over, combined with weaker advices
| from Canada and most of our interior
| markets, tends to give an unsettled
| feeling to the situation here. Liver
