Masonic Temple: Phone 1s3.

Chicago. Oct 17.-Corn-While fuc-
tuations were rapid and the averag e
higher than Last nights close, the
market was devoid Of special feature,
local trade furnishing most of the
price changes. Altho yesterdays
peace rumors were denied in blanket
form, allied successes over night were
OF such character as to bring out con-
siderable pressure on bulges. Proba-
bly, the most important factor in hold
ing prices today was the unwarranted
credit given to a rumor that the gov
eminent might possibly fix price on
corn.
Oats-Oats were heavy, even when
corn showed an upward tendency and
prices gradually settled below the close
Of yesterday. The demand was poor
for the spot article and prices were
sharply lower at the finish.
