Trade in the corn pit was more act i've and of a more general character than had been witnessed in some weeks and a strong tone prevailed nearly all day. The market was bull ishly infiu. by the comparatively small receipts, arrivals being very light considering the excellent weather, now prevailing for the movement. Firm cables also inspired some buying. At the sample tabIcs, the market for cash corn was firm at the start. but eased off later in the day.

 Oats were firm almost all day and the volume of trade was very large. The feature of trade was buying of the December delivery by shorts who were disturbed by the smallness of stocks of contract oats in store here. Cash handlers reported larger acceptances on over night bidders. but Eastern de- mand was also said to be more active. The market for cash cats was strong at the start. but became easier later fin the session.
