GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, January 5.-More rain in
Argentina, further assurance Of a huge
crop for that country, made the corn
market today show renewed weakness
There was general commission selling
tired longs unloading. Shorts with
profits to collect were the best buyers.
Prices opened hass to 1aa5s lower. rallied
a little and then sagged.
Wheat gave way with corn, and as a
result of larger worlds shipments
Diminishing receipts northwest, how
ever and damage reports from Buenos
Aires tended to check the decline. Open
ing figures were unchanged to u off, and
there was a slight additional setback
later
Bears in the oats crowd had to cor
tend with resting orders Just below the
market. Quotations accordingly proved
steady, compared with corn.
Provisions responded to an upturn in
the hog market. but lack of demand
brought on reaction. First sales varied
from shade lower to SC advance, with
subsequent transactions well below Sat-
urday nights level.
