LARGER RECEIPTS IN SIGHT CAUSED
 CORN ID TAKE DROP
Oats Weakness Was Inde- pendent as Exporters Were Said to Be Out of
 the Market

Gssseago, November 25.-Predictions of much larger receipts in the near future led to decided breaks in the price of corn today. The market finished heavy. 2ssq45sc net lower, with December $1. 1.22ls and January sL22ksq1. .22&. Oats lost 13sc to 21aQ2ssc. he close in provisions ranged from 55c decline to 75c advance.
 Eastern and southwestern houses in particular were aggressive sellers of corn. For the first time in weeks hedgins business was in evidence both here and in the southwest. The fact that weather conditions were favorable for husking and smelling operated as the chief basis for expeetance of more liberal arrival Word that the car permit system had been modified so as to facilitate hand ling increased amounts of grain at Min neapolis and St. Paul tended also to favor the bears. Moreover, announce ment was made that considerable Argen- tine corn was being shipped to Belgium and that South Africa was shipping Soo,- GOO tons of corn to Great Britain.
 Oats displayed independent weakness as exporters were said to be out of the market
 Provisions at first advanced with hogs but reacted because of setbacks in grain

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. November 25.--Higher prices ruled in cotton today until liauida- ton from the long side set in, after which downward movement developed in all months, although December refused to go to net decline. From a net gain of 3T to S4 points the market fell off until on the close, December was 15 points over last weeks final prices and May was SS points under. months between making lesser declines. December throughout the day was the strongest month on the boards, trading up at one times to 2s64c
 The absence of December notices on this, the first notice day. for that posi- tion, the wet and cold weather over the belt and private bureau estimate on production of 11,320,000 bales were the main sustaining influences of the ses- sion. The ring found difficulty in satis- flying the demand in the morning ses- sion, but in the afternoon there was a general attempt to realize profits on the part of early buyers and the mar. ket reacted
 The unfavorable weather over the belt led to renewed predictions of continued small ginning while there was general tendency to look forward to a small crop estimate from the government early in December.
