GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO, September 10.-Corn prices
went soaring today as result or preoic-
tions of widespread frost tonight. An
took place in some cases as soon as the
market opened. Bullish sentiment was
rampant. owing to the fact that a killing
frost meant severe damage to the crop
throughout the greater portion of the chiei
producing belt Opening quotations,
which ranged from ~ to ~ higher her
with December at 1.17A to llsA ano
May at l.14h to 1.16la were followed by
reactions. but only to a moderate extent
Oats made only slight response to the
advance in corn. Selling by longs proved
too voluminous to permit greater up
turn. Besides. receipts here showed q
material increase.
More strigent enforcement of govern
ment supervision of wheat sales begar
today. Heretofore mllers were permitted
prices. but from now on all dealings are
with the agents of the food administration
Provisions reflected the upward course
of corn and hogs.
