TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Dec. 7.-CORN-Announceme
of an embargo on corn and oats eastbound
from Chicago, beginning December 10,
brought about general selling today in the
corn market. Demand was only of a scat
tered sort. 1t was assumed that with an
increasing supply of cars in the corn belt,
stocks here would soon accumulate. Open
ing prices, which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to &c lower, with Jan
uary $1.21A to S1-21M and May $1.19A to
$1.195s, were followed by material declines
all around
The fact that the snow falls thruout the
west were not of a character to interfere
with the curing of corn acted later as
bear to any important rally. The close
was heavy, &c to lie net lower with jan
uary $1.211s to $1.21A and May $1.1s% to
OATs-Oats showed greater weakness
even than corn. Steady liquidation by
holders was in progress altho mostly in
small lots.
OVIsIONs-Provisions swung down
ward with grain and hogs. Offerings were
light, but demand was lacking
Reports that the government had closed
important contracts with the packers
caused something of a rally which, how
ever, was not well maintained.

NIOW that Greystock has captured the

the first game is played next Monday eve

leader of the Churchmeh says If the Jewels
are willing he is also in favor of playing
not only third game if necessary in
Camden, but the series, and the writer
is of the opinion that this is the way the
matter may be adjusted.
II is the logical conclusion to the whole
matter. Either Of the local halls is en-
tirely inadequate to accommodate the
throng clamoring for admission, and it
would determine which really was the
better club with all the contests ON a neutral
