GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO, October 22.-Evidence of
seaboard demand, together with slow
ness of husking and with rural COM
plants of car scarcity tended to lift
corn values. Pit traders, who at the
outset favored the selling side. found
that offerings were quickly absorbed.
The December delivery was in par
ticular demand. as the outlook for ac-
cumulating any large stock here soon
appeared remote. Opening prices,
which ranged from y off to Is ad-
vance. with December LAS to 1.14as
and May loss. to LOG, were followed
by moderate upturn all around.
Oats hardened with corn. Buyers,
however. were by no means urgent.
Firmness in the hog market led to
higher prices on provisions. Trade was
not very large.
