Chicago, Sept 12.-Corn-The week
" weather report, asserting that con-
siderable damage to corn. especially IN
Wisconsin and Minnesota, induced a
large volume of buying. and the mar
ket quickly reacted about two cents
from early decline. There was con-
slant selling, however. and the market
closed near inside prices at a moderate
loss from last night The aggregate
damage from frosts OF Sunday and
Monday nights will probably not be
large. 4 good deal of the corn in the
northern statesswas already out OF dan
ger and much Of the remainder will
be- The reduced feeding requirements
from this years big crop will probably
Offset the additional call for corn for
human consumption and export
Oats-The principal difficulty in
breaking the oats market is the light
receipts It is impossible with sea-
board buying in a liberal way to &C
cumulate stocks from a movement
which is abnormally light, in view of
the large crop and prevailing prices.
Relief from this eowce is expected
within six weeks, and barring calamity

Dealings After Germ and Hogs Go Up.

Chicago, Sept. 12-Buying on the
part of speculative interests rallied
corn, following an early decline. The
initial weakness was due TO reports
of weather conditions being favorable
for maturing the crop. ON the other
hand, buyers appeared to be acting
on the theory that frost damage had
perhaps been more extensive than the
trade in general assumed. Opening
prices ranged 4 cent to q cent, with
December at LIZA to 1.l74 and May
at lis TO 1.15A. They were followed
by an upturn TO well above yester-
days finish>
The government weekly weather re-
port was construed as UNFOLDING the
position of the bulls. The close was
heavy al !. 10 IS net lower at 1.11ss

Oats.
Oats developed independent strength
owing to the fact that receipts con-
tinued small The December option
was in special demand
Wheat.
Arrivals of wheat showed no mater
ial increase Word was received from
the Kansas state board Of agriculture
that the next winter crop Of Kansas
would exceed the u per cent enlarge
ment requested by the federal govern
ment
Satisfactory progress has been made
in winter wheat blowing in the coun-
try as = whole. The only exception is
in extreme northwest, where the
weather has been too dry.
Provisions.
Higher prices on hogs and corn gave
tir,nness to provisions. Most OF the
dealings were in lard.
