CORN IS UNHURT
AND PRICES DROP

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Increasing assur-
ance that the bulk of the corn crop has
escaped all serious danger from frost
tended today to bring about a sag in
prices. There was noticeable lack
OF enthusiasm on the buying side.
Never the less, the .scantiness OF
present supplies acted as check on
weakness. Opening quotations which
ranged from the sanaea as yesterdays 8
finish to 1sc lower at $1.18 Ia to
s1.18h December and $1.15 1-8 to
S1.15 IA May, were followed by mod
crate setback all around.
Unfavorable weather gave compare
tive firmness to oats Fluctuations
were narrow, and trade light.
Big reductions in western stocks
of meats rallied the provision market
from an early break. The initial
heaviness was due to lower quotations
on hogs.

has been retailing in New York for
several months at So and SO ton will
not undergo any great change in price
by the ruling of Fuel Administrator
Garfield, according to Arthur F. Rice,
commissioner of the New York Coal
Merchants association.
1T seems to us at first sight" he
said, that the method announced for
fixing the retail prices of coal, will
keep prices to about their present lev
ell but 1t will take further study to
discuss the question with any certain
ty."
Leading coal dealers said they were
perplexed over the new regulations
and that the question was too compli-
Gated to be discussed at present.

the constitutional work which will last
from two to three months next spring,
It was suggested several weeks ago
that the contractors draw up some

would not be profitable nor practical.
Later a footbridge will be designed
even thoogh It would cost the city a
above the present bridge to provide
Tor pedestrian traffic. Trolley cars will
