|CORN IS BULGED BY
FROSTY WEATHER
Prospects Of Needed Sunshine
After Cold Wave Lessen
Advances in Price.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2o.-Frosty weather
made the corn market to-day average
higher. Closing prices were unsettled
at the same as Yesterdays finish. to
Ac. up. with December 31.1sto 31.19M
and May 31.l6'to $1.16M.' Oats gained
u to NC. net. The result in provisions
varied from SC. decline to an advance
Of 35c
Until the last hour corn showed un-
mistakable strength. In the hnal deal
ings. however. signs that the market
was overbought developed and decided
breaks took place which nevertheless
did not deprive the market of good sup
port. Seaboard interests that were said
to have been among the leading buyers
yesterday were reported to have taken
profits to-day on a large scale near the
| end OF the session.
Hardly anything but the weather
conditions and the related crop outlook
! received the least attention as corn
market factors. Frost had penetrated
as far southwark as Nebraska and there
were predictions OF additional frost to-
night In Iowa. Besides. rain and low
temperatures appeared to be widespread.
A prospec: though that much needed
| sunshine and warmth would follow the
| cold wave did much to lessen bullish
sentiment before the close.
A strike OF grain shovellers gave some
| independent firmness to oats IT was
thought the strike might interfere with
| deliveries on September contracts. Most
Of the union shovellers. however re-
| mained at work and indications were
that the strike would not prove serious.
Announcements that the Government
was requesting country shippers to give
wheat preference until further notice
were expected to diminish somewhat the
movement Of other grain, chiefly barley
and rye Wheat receipts continued lib
eral In the Northwest. but scanty In
Chicago. especially hard winter and
spring wheat. All requests here for red
winter wheat were taken caro- Of. A
big trade In -four was reported.
| Packers buying formed the main
scource Of strength in provisions. De.
mand appeared to be based on enlarged
cash business and on the hrmness OF

Ribbon Prices Go Higher.

A further advance of half a cent a
ligne will be put into effect to-day by
one Of the large ribbon manufacturers.
In addition to previous advances this
makes prices about 33 1-3 per cent.
higher than those Of a year ago.
The demand for narrow and medium
wide ribbons has somewhat dropped Off.
as manufacturers are unwilling to ac-
cept orders for advance shipments. In
most cases they are awaiting further
developments in the raw material field.

"The noteworthy feature Of this

apparel Is due to an enhanced demant
or scarcity of supply Is the mootet
question at present. Many manufac

low to enable retailers to merchandis,

TN consequence Of these condition
retailers seeking both high and low en-,
garments are finding unusual difficultie
in procuring them In both cases. An
other pronounced factor in the presen
trend Is the demand for fur trimme,
