CORN PRICES DROP
ON REALIZING SALES
Lack of Adequate Support Weak
ems Market After Display of
Firmness in Early Trading
CHICAGO, oct. 2s.


Realizing sales in a market without ade-
quate support, the short interest being well
covered. weakened the corn market today
after II had been firm In the early trading.
Wet weather then caused n fair demand,
as II is retarding curing and interfering
with the already light movement Scarcity
of labor is reflected In slow husking opera
tions.
A great deal Of nervousness soon develop
ed however, prices moving up and down
with the limits fairly wide. Shorts had
covered rather freely yesterday, following
a week of a tendency upward and there
fore sellers were numerous. Longs took
profits and the stronger shorts resold
Sentiment was decidedly mixed.
st. Luis reported twenty-one cars Of new
corn today and Kansas city expected ten
cars.
The bears asserted that the worst that
could happen TO a short interest at this
level is a loss Of seven to eight cents, while
many things might happen TO advantage
between now and the end Of December.
The high on December was $l2l, the low
{i1S% and the close $l19 bid, compared
with S1192l at the end yesterday. The
hest on May was Sl.147s. the bottom $l127s
and the final $l.l3L a gll3S, against
Sl137s, the final OF yesterday
oats sold off after having been steadier.
Trade was dull There was some selling by
houses with connections in the country. Of
ferings from Iowa were somewhat larger
but at prices above the level current here.
The market at Liverpool was steady. Export
business in the last three days is estimated
at more than 100000 bushels.
The high on December was 597sc; thet
bottom, 5sIc and the close, 5S7s q 5S2ic
compared with 59l2c, the final quotation
Of yesterday the top on May was Gle; the
low. 6Oc, and tho close, 6Oi4c, compared

Many Rabbits Killed
by Hunters Monday

At least hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of rabbits were killed by hunters
who went form this city and its vicin-
ity Monday. All day long corn fields
and rabbit cover in the Iowa river val
ley and elsewhere all over the county
resounded with the sharp explosion Of
shotgunS.
Conditions were ideal for rabbit
hunting. The light snow Sunday
showed the fresh tracks of the game
the night before, and the weather was
mild so many of them were out of their
holes hiding in brush piles bunch grass
and weeds. one party that hunted IN
the vicinity of Gladbrook is reported
to have killed eighty-seven and numer.
Gus hunters and parties hagged from
a few to dozen or more.
