Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Sept 13-Frosts of killing sever
ity had its effect on prices IN the grain mar
situation, declared them harmless. Prices lost
all semblance of firmness and when II became
known that Judge Chytraus had ruled against
the board and its members who were defending
the July oats corner cases, general slumps
followed At the close September wheat vas
ssc off, December q and stc lower september
corn 1c down, December Csc, July corn %qtsc
depressed, and December oats &c on. jan
uary provisions closed unchanged to 1Oc lower.
Corn started a trife better than 1t left off last
night The frosts was steadying influence. Re-
ports, however, were conflicting as 70 the Gam
advices had it that the crop was hurt 50 to
80 per cent; while others said the damage was
slight. Outside orders were hght ana the tne
crowd soon turned sellers. Warmed weather
predictions had much to do with the change
in sentiment but in this, as in every other PIT,
the courts ruling against the power OF the
board directory to enforce it's rulings on mar
ginal deposits had a depressing eneet. Re-
cepts showed some increase as well as
for some time past-2O5 cars with S. contract.
The best prices Of the day were made at the
start December strated az 44ssc anu S1,s p

weak close. lie off at SEC.
Wheat opened without much change IN
prices but did not long maintain its steadiness.
There was a feeling early that the further
frosts last night would brace up corn 10 such
When corn disappointed there was liberal sell
ing of wheat. The northwest gave unmis-
taxable signs OF an luCEedSc III SPAAAl6 hAoNo
ment and the weather was further aid In
that respect. Gables were lower, the senu-
ment was bearlsh and there was some selling
on stop orders Large estimates OF WORLDS
shipments over 10, 900 bushels for the week
had its weakening influence as did the talk OF
quiet selling by a heavy holder of long wheat.
September opened Sc up at 73lRc, fell to 721sc
and rallied fairly, although the close was
weak so lower at 72%c. December started
shade up a shade down at 691sc to SO and closed
at its lower price, Ss0Ac lower at 6Sssc. Re-
ce!pts 1S2 cars, none contract; Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 7s0 total for the three points
of 9e2 against 572 last week. This day last year

bushels. Seaboard clearances equalled 4S3O0O
bushels The seaboard reported thirty to thirty
two loads taken for export.
Oats showed even less animation than yes
terday, prices moving only sc. Weakness in
other grains and the oats decision were the
factors in a depression that lost &c for De-
cember A fair demand developed on the slight
breaks and thus checked further decline.
Trade was practically local and largely Of a
scalping nature. December sold between SO1z
and 31ssc and closed at S1hc. Receipts 1874

Provisions eased off after there had been
steady opening on a firm hog market influence
from the effects OF offerings in January pork.
There was considerable covering later and the
nearly months all showed Improvement over
yesterday although trade was dull. Lower
grains had osme effect and January prod
ucts closed weak, pork 10c lower at 15la;
