CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago. Nov. 20.-Prospects of an
increase in the movement of the new
crop had a bearish effect today on
corn. The market, although unset
tied at the close, was 1c to 2 u c net
lower with December $1.29B to
s129H and January $1.S1% to
s131b. Oats finished q to Rc
down, and provisions up sc to 81.
Notwithstanding that the corn
market fluctuated rapidly and that at
one time the January delivery touch
ed the highest point yet on the crop,
the general tendency most OF the SEES
sion was clearly downgrade. Fore
casts OF better weather for husking
and for transportation from rural
sources did q good deal to make SELL
ing aggressive, and so too did knoWl-
edge that a large number of car per-
mits had been issued of late. For at
least the time being, fresh develop
ments appeared to be necessary to
focus attention sharply again on the
bullish possibilities of food needs in
Europe as against plentiful supplies
elsewhere and still existing shortage
of vessels.
Hedging sales depressed oats. Be-
sides. seaboard demand was slack and
the visible supply total showed nd
eral increase
Provisions were dull but firm. No
