Chicago Grain and Provisions,

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Corn eased down in price today owing largely to inn proved weather and to the gratifying cheer of the war news. The close was unsettled 1-8 to 1 Is cent net lower with Sept. 161 5-8 to 161 3-8 and Oct. 163 to 163 3-8.
 Oats finished Is to 1-2 cent don and provisions off 17c to 50 cents.
 The smallness, of rects led to lit tie demand at enc time, but was more than offset later by bulletins telling of the great success of the latest drive against the Germans.
 Partial recoveries that took place after midday had no better basis ap- parent than an effort by shorts to secure profits.s
 Oats ranged lower with corn. Liber- al arrival of oats added to the sell ing pressure.
 Weakness of provisions was attri- ubted in some degree to the federal trade commissions report recommend ing federal control of packing houses.

 October contracts sCld up to 29.30 making an advance of a cent a pound from the closing price yesterday, while active months generally sold back to within ten or twenty points of Tuesdays high record.
 The close was steady and showed a net advance of 7S to S9 points on the general list.
 The market opened steady at an advance of "A to 43 points on reports from the southwest that recent show CTS in Texas had been inadequate and that rains now probably would be too late to help the crop much in some sections.
 There was considerable realizing but otherwise offerings were very light and the market worked up cas- fly after the publication of the dry western belt forecast.
 Offerings were we'll absorbed and the market was very firm during the middle of the afternoon on the contin- ued good war news.
 More general showers were report ed in Oklahoma district but the detail- ed reports showed only light precipi- tation.
 The late buying was also promoted by the large exports for the day.
 Liverpool was fair buyer during the morning and there was little buying attributed to southern mill interests.
