TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Dec. 24-CoRN-Traffic delays
resulting from heavy wet snow brought
about upturns today IN the price Of corn.
Smallness Of receipts here tended also to
lift values. On the other hand, there was
no urgent buying, and the fact that a cold
wave was In prospect acted as a check on
the advance. Opening quotations. which
varied from the same as yesterdays finish
to %e higher, with January s13sh to
$1.39N and May $1351s to $1.s51l, were fol-
lowed by moderate gains all around.
Opinions that feeding demand had passed

movement, led afterward to something Of
setback. The close, however, was firm,
at the same is yesterdays finish to Nc
higher with January $1.39ss to $1.30X and
May S1.30M to $1.35h.

like advance, with January 695sc to 7Okc,
the market underwent a general sag.
PROvISIONS-Holiday dulIness ruled in
provisions. During much of the time prices
were entirely nominal
subsequently. the market developed con-
siderable strength on account of an advance
in the value Of hogs.
