Masonic 1enpIs: Phone 1873.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Corn-Corn was
weak. Buying against bids finally
checked the decline but, aside from that
there was little absorptive power in the
market except from those who had sold
previously. The lower grades Of corn
in the spot market were 2 to cents
lower and quotations on graded cars
ran 5 to 10 cents below yesterday. Re-
ceipts OF new corn are increasing and
the quality is good. There were here
today cars Of new No. 2 yellow and No
g. white. Government bids were IN
changed and no business worked as far
as reported. as has been the case ever
since the recent announcement of
government demand.
Oats-Oats were relatively weaker
than corn, in that the bids were unable
to hold the market and a considerable
quantity was sold in this way for De-
cember delivery. Cash demand was not
good early in the day but improved and
the most Of the offerings were absorbed
