CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Sharp Advances In Corn and Oats; Cold
Weather Offsets Besrish Factors.

Chicago. Sept. Notwithstanding that
traders anticipated that the government
crop report would indicate bumper yields OF
both corn and oats sharp advances tool.
place today in the value Of the two cereals
Uneasiness over delays and other Ill effects
likely to result from prevailing cold weather
much more than offset bearish factors. Corn
closed nervous, 2@2Nc higher. at sf.ith@
1.f4H, December, and s110h q 1l0E, May.
Oats gained 1@ihc to lxc and provisions
i2@s5c.
Strong houses took the lead from the
outset in regard to the buying Of corn. They
assumed the position that under present
field conditions killing frest before Octo-
Der ! might inflict severe damage on the
crop owing to the prospect that as result
OF adverse weather the maturity of the
plant would be dangerously postponed. The.
fact that the government crop estimate was
beforehand by private experts failed alto
sether to check the bulls. One Of the reasons
was that the movement Of old corn from
rural sources had dwindled until today the
four principal markets in the United States
received total OF less than 100 cars from
country holders Despite liberal sales here
to realize profits, the market finished at
nearly the top prices OF the session,
Fears that the widespread rains would
greatly hinder threshing gave much impetus
to the upward swing Of the oats market.
Receipts continued relatively small, and
there was evidence OF some fresh demand
from the seaboard. 1t did not develop until
after the close that private forecasts OF the
government estimate yield had been much
under the official figures.
Attempts to prophesy as to the govern
ment estimate Of the spring wheat crop
turned out to have been too optimistic A
popular theory that an increase Of rs, 600 900
bushels would be indicated as compared
with the prediction In August had to be
thrown away when after the close the off
ctat figures from Washington proved to bo
less than half as large.
Provisions rose with gains in the value OF
hogs. Word that the government would not,
at least for the present, try to fix prices Il,
meats tended to accelerate the advance, ana
SO too, did urgency Of demand at Liverpool.
