CORN PRICES HIGHER
WHEN SHORTS COVER
Undertone Is Helped by Unfa-
vorable Weather for Curing
and Moving the Grain
CHICAGO, Oct. 90.

Resting orders to buy and covering by
shorts turned the corn market upward to-
day after It had developed heaviness fol-
lowing fairly strong start.
Early in the session the undertone was
helped by unfavorable weather for curing
and moving the grain, which offset de-
pressing effect on sentiment by the news
from Italy. although the disaster was re-
garded by many as bulish Later a drop in
prices for the cash article, due TO increased
receipts of new grain here and at points
in the Southwest, induced selling and
caused recession.
Predictions of much cooler weather and
unsettlement in the stock market also
served to create bearish sentiment. The
selling finally was overdone and the losses
were more than recovered.
Oats also rallied, after having been heavy.
Large local shorts covered and there was
good buying of May by commission houses.
No export call was in evidence. Large re-
Ceipts were predicted.

Extreme weakness ruled the local stock
market in todays trading, nearly all issues
dealt in on the Philadelphia Exchange
recording some loss whenever the price
changed from Saturdays close. About the
only exceptions we're Pennsylvania Kall-
road, which advanced a fraction, ana
Philadelphia Company cumulative pre-
ferred, which advanced half a point. Penn
syvania was the most active of the home
shares most Of the day, but the change
in the price of the Philadelphia Company
preferred shares was made on a small, ODD
lot transaction The fact that the Penn
sylvania had declared its quarterly divi-
dend at the regular rate last week was
considered one of the reasons for its hold
ing up while other rails and the majority
of industrials declined.
The new per cent Liberty Bonds made
their appearance on the board for the first
time today and sold at par as against a
high of 100.02 in New York. However, the
majority of the business In Wall street was

the trading in the As in this city, only one
small sale being recorded, but the AVS con-
tinued TO attract much interest and the
price was unchanged most of the day at
