CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Corn rose in value today mainly as result of de- nials that Germany had capitulated.
 The market. however, was unsettled throughout the session.
 Princes closed 5-8 to Is cents net higher with November 119 3-8 to 119 5-8 and December 115 1-2 to 115 5.8.
 Oats finished 3-8 to 5-8 cents down and provisions unchanged to 97 cents lower.
 A general rush to buy took place at the opening in the corn market Be- sides the explicit assurance that re- port sof Germany's surrender were baseless, another bullish factor was talk that move was on foot to estab- fish minimum price for corn.
 On the ensuing bulge, though, offerings increased, the market react ed at intervals during the rest of the day.
 Hedging pressure operated to keep the oats market easy most of the day.
 Lower quotations on hogs sent pro- visions sharply down grade.
 Support was lacking until the mar ket as whole came within a fraction of the minimum level
