lived itself today in the corn trade,
t the volume of business in the pit
ls not greater than usual. and there
Yere no extraordinary changes in
Brice. December delivery, in which
Interest chiefly centred. was given n
somewhat decided lift in value as a
direct result of the Board of Trade
directors refusing this morning to
enact emergency regulations making
corn on track deliverable on con
tracts. The decision of the directors
relieved the principal bull Spectator
from being forced to accept 2,500,0OC
bushels at n substantial loss.
Afterward the advance became de-
cidedly more pronounced for Decem-
Der. the result of covering on the
part of belated shorts. Receipts In
all directions We're light The close
was steady at net gain of 9s0h to
21a. the latter for December,
Corn prices which at the outset
varied from Il lower to X advance
seemed inclined to keep within the
opening range, averaging about 1sc
gain compared with last nights fig
ures.
Darkness interfering with inspec-
ton tended TO make prices continue
to advance. The close was steady, q
az to 1% above last night.
