Weaken Market
CHICAGO. Oct a

CHICAGO, oct o.
Reports Of n new Teuton peace offer and
rumors that a representative Of the food
administration was devising plans to bring
about dollar corn and ten-dolar hogs were
the factors that weakened the corn market
today, There was a great deal OF selling
by commission houses, the offerings being
absorbed on resting orders on scale down
sharp broak occurred in the cash
article as the result Of the Governments
estimate OF the crop, which was looked
upon as bearlsh. Advices from Missouri
also were against the bulls. again indicating
that much corn was available for pur-
chase from the interior, and It was asserted
that fair amount OF old grain was being
offered here.
The weather ia no longer a factor, as
far as the size of the yield is concerned,
and changes In prices in the future arc
expected to be dominated TO a considerable
extent by the cash situation.

with spot offers scarce and arrivals lighter.
The weather in Argentina generally is IA
vorable for the growing crops.
oats also receded, although the market
showed good resistance for time. Trade
was comparatively light, but the selling out
weighed the buying. There was buying OF
December by houses with connections at the
seaboard, which looked like accumulation of
futures by foreign interests
