CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Chances of en- larged receipts next week eased the corn market today after a slight ad- vance The close was steady, January $1l1h to s117A and May sL155s, With the market as a whole half off to 4 advance compared with yesterdays finish. The outcome in oats ranged from F decline to B O F gain. Provis- ions lost to 20 cents.
 At first an absence of any pro- hounced selling pressure gave an up ward slant to the corn market Un- seaonable warm weather and predic- tons of showers tended to handicap D the bears, as such condition formed an evident hindrance to improving the quality of the new crop. Talk of per sistent war scarcity operated as a fac tor in hardening values. Toward the end of the session, more cheerful opin- lons seemed to take a grip on traders. Gossip was current that receiving houses had noted an increase of ad- vices of consignments.
 Oats trading appeared to be almost entirely local. The bulk of transac- tions consisted of changing holdings from December to May
 Provisions lacked support.
