spider is ferocious animal, and her
appetite predomlnates at most times.
The fact is FIAT nobody knows why.
Scorpions eat the males; the praying

CHAIN MARKET.


 CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Corn rose in value today mainly as a result of de nials that Germany had capitulated. The market, however, was very un- settled throughout the session. Prices closed nervous. $ to Ssc net higher with November 1192s to $ and De cember 115Ia to 9s.
 Oats finished 3s to down and pro visions unchanged to SIC lower.
 A general rush to buy took place at the opening in the corn market. Be- sides the explicit assurance that re- ports of GeTmany's surrender were baseless another bullish factor was talk that a move was on foot to estab- fish a minimum price for corn. On the ensuing bulge, offerings increased and the mhrket reacted but only to bound upward again. This performance was repeated at intervals during the rest of the day, with the downturns becoming somewhat more pronounced after midday owing in a measure to assertions that the German retreat suggested a rout Gossip that Turkey would conclude a separate peace tend ed also to stimulate selling at the last.
 Hedging pressure operated to keep the oats market easy most of the day.
 Lower quotations on hogs sent pro visions sharply down grade. Sup port was lacking until the market, as a whole, came within a fraction of the minimum level.
