of adverse reports concerning harvest
returns In Argentina and because. of
less favorable crop news from Aus
ITALIA. There was also u;Ieas'ness
over talk of rank growth In the win

General rains In that direction tended
to worry the bears. The opening,
which varied from shade lower to
* advance, was followed by a moder-
ate rise all around
The government crop report brought
about some weakness later. Closing
prices were steady at the same as last
night to h0A lower.
Lightness of offerin~ carried the
corn market higher The December
option especially was strong. Prices
started unchanged to 3 up and
scored a further material grin,
Prediction of unsettled weather up-
held quotations The close was steady
at MM% net advance.
Oats hardened with corn. Business
however. was OF only q scatter :
sort. ass
Aggressive buying of ribs despite
large receipts of hogs put backbone
into provisions. First sales ranged
from &c decline co a shade advance
