TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Sept. 1e.-CoRN-Corn weaken

barge on shipments Of grain toKansas City
st. Louis and Omaha: The embargo was
expected to increase the movement to Chi
cago, now the sole big center that has
not suffered from congestion. Peace talk
tended to emphasize bearish sentiment. but
only IN a minor degree. Opening prices
which varied from unchanged figures to
nc lower with October $1.52% to S1.a2as
and November si.i0X 10 81. 4os., were fol-
lowed by a material setback all around
Covering by shorts, together with
Tightening mp of offerings brought about
a subsequent general rally. The close was
unsettled. &c off TO 1Ac net higher Wits
October $1.b3A to si.531a and November

OATS = Oats displayed comparative
strength. Recent buying for government

basis. After opening unchanged to Nc
