gave the market downward tendency
December closed at Mc net decline. Corn
closed unchanged for December, but

by longs at the opening, and for short
time afterward Liverpool quotations
showed decline of sd, and the worlds

about 200.0 900 bushels over the estimated

with evening up MS much as possible.
As result prices for long periods were
practically at n standstlll. European
crop reports were more favorable than
Of late, and this induced more or less
scattered liquidation, especially early In
the session. New York reported an adj

with export business. About thirty
loads were taken for export, Late In
the day the market was stlfened by
