| Chicago. Nov. 17-Cables this morning
| were Ss1 lower, which did not fCily renecl
/ our keakness of yesterday. Receipts IN the
| northwest were about 400 cars larger than
| last year. ClearanceS were moderate, Sse,-
| coo bushels. The early part or the SESSION
| was very quiet, up to II O'Clock We nave
| seldom seen a deader market. There was
| a feeling of uncertainty on the side Of all
| operators. Nobody seemed willing to buy
| or SELL and orders were very few. Later
| in the day. New York poured in some
| heavy orders to buy oats, and the oat mar
| ket began steadily to advance. The ad-
vance in cats created some STR N corn,
and It was believed that the strength re-
! fiected the war sentiment between Austria
| and Turkey. This created a general
| ket advanced steadily, closing practically
| nc higher than last night. New York eS-
! porters took over 10000 bushels for Eng
( lish ports and $500 at out ports. over 4o,-
| 900 OF corn was taken, and over 5yO,cc Is
| practically unchanged. The overSold condi-
ton of the market makes these sudden
| spurts on exciting news easy and 1t s
| probably the desire Of the professionals 10
| have them as often as possible. We feel
| that this rally simply offers another oppor-
! tun:ty TO get IN good scalp on the short
| side.
Corn was stronger of its own accord, un-
| less it was in sympathy with oats, be-
fcause these cereals preceded wheat in the
| upward movement today. The export de-
mand was considerably better, cash selling
at 1ac above December.
Provisions rallied some today. giving
sight indications of taking on some ac-
| tiv:ty. If we get an advance in this pro-
/ duct. sell it. 1t viii do TO buy only on
! the weak places.
