GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


CHICAGO. November 7.-Further
bullish effects in the corn market de-
veloped today from the setting OF a
virtual minimum price on hogs The
maintenance of such minimum was
urged as evidence that quotations of
future deliveries OF corn were still too
low. Weather conditions that ap-
peared unfavorable for handling soft
grain tended also to lift the market.
Opening prices which ranged from
ss on to u advance, with December
1.16k and May LIP to 1.1211. were fol-
lowed by material upturn all around.
Oats reflected the action of corn. For
the most part, trade was local.
Scarcity Of hog arrivals gave strength
to provisions. 1t was pointed out. too.
Of the winter season were less than
half ofthe total a year ago.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. November THE cot
ton market showed renewed nervous
ness and irregularity at the opening
today The easy tone of the stock mar
ket and the news from Italy contrib
uted to the unsettled ruling of senti-
ment. while the buying for Wall street
largely responsible for the rally of
Monday was not in evidence. First
prices were 2 points higher on Decem-
ber. but generally unchanged to 8
points lower. and the active months
sold about IL to Is points under Mon
day's closing figures during the first
few minutes.
The market showed rather steadier
tone at slight rallies toward the end
of the first hour.
an irregular opening, with some months
two points up and others two points
off, cotton fell off here today for a
small decline under selling which
seemed to be based on bearish COM
ment from the stock market. At the
end of the first half-hour active months
were five to ten points under yester-
days close.
