CHICAGO GRAIN,

Chicago. Dec. 1S.-Considerable weakness in the corn market resulted today from a notice issued by the food administration that practically all war rules governing the grain trade had been cancelled. As the exchange regulation however, restricting the amount of speculative dealings by any single interest still remains in force, the food administration notice had only transient effect Opening prices which ranged from 1-Sc off 10 7-Sc advance, with January 136 to 136 3-S and May 135 to 135 3-4. were followed by material setback all around and then by a rally.
 Oats sagged with corn. After open- ing unchanged to 3-Sc up with Jan uary 71 5Sc to Fl 3-4c, the market un- derWent a moderate decline. Provis- ions averaged lower.
 Corn averaged higher in price to- day chiefly owing to weather condi- tions' unfavorable to the crop move ment. The close was steady at the same as yesterdays finish to 1 1-2c up with January 136 Is to 136 IA and May 13o 1-2 to 135 5-S. Oats finished unchanged to 3-Sc off and provisions varying from 45c decline to 55c ad- vance,
 Trading in corn was mainly local and prices fluctuated often but within rather narrow range. During most Of the day bulls had the advantage, as a result of continued scantiness of receipts and because of the outloox that dampness and mild temperatures would further tend to restrict arri vals.
 Absence of export buying operated as weight on the oats market.
 Increased stocks of lard rendered that commodity weak. Pork and ribs, which of late have not been made freely developed strength

MARK EFT Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions

New York, Dec. 1S.-The feature in the cotton market early today was the issuance of December notices estimat- ed at about 5000 bales. Previously this month only 100 bales had been rendered, but it was reported that when December sold up to the 29 cent level yesterday, there was some selling against which the notices were issued today. The opening was steady at an advance of five to 29 points on reports that the shipping board had allotted four more steamers to the cotton trade, and active months sold about 10 to 29 points net higher dur ing the first few minutes. The un- expected appearance of the December notices had an unsettlhig effect, how ever, and the market turned easier shortly after the call, with December selling off from 2S.6O to 2S.25 and January PHO to 26.S9.
 After selling off to 2S.22 for Decem- Der and 26.75 for January, or about to 2S points net lower on the more active months, prices rallied on trade buying of the near position, bullish southern spot advices and large eX- port figures. Early sellers were among buyers on the advance which extended to 27.05 for January and 25.96 for March shortly after the mid day. or about Il to 15 points net high CT.
 Heavy realizing caused sharp re- action during which prices fell to 27 ry1H hn al of ynctn noon the market was steady on the large exports for the day, tsanding at a net loss of g to 15 points.
 Early setbacks resulting from the circulation of few December mo- tices, were followed by sharp ad vance in the cotton market today on trade buying and covering. The gen. eral list closed steady at net ad- vance of five to forty points.
 Owing to the fact that previously this month only 100 bales had been de- livered on December contracts, the is- suance of notices this morning seem- ed a surprise to the general trade They were estimated at only 5000 bales, however, and while they caused some scattering near month liquida- tion trade interests were buyers on the decline. The market opened steady at an advance on bullish over night spot news and reports that the shipping board had assigned four ships to the cotton trade. Overnight buying orders were quickly supplied, mad the market sold off during the early trading.
 The market then turned firmer on reports of an active spot demand ill the southwest, covering by early sell CTS and rumOrs that some of the peo- pie who had issued notices this morn- ing were buying December contracts later in the day. Later fluctuations were very irregular in the case of De- cember

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Dec. 1S.-The ad- vance in cotton was continued today but there were periods when the mar ket acted overbought and q tendency to react was frequently in evidence. The main sustaining news again came from the spot department, buying being done chiefly on reports of more tonnage available for shippers, the large exports for the day, the cabled news that the Lancashire strike had been settled reports of higher basis in the Texas spot markets and tele- gram from the north claiming that there was more spot business under way with the New England mills. Encouraging the reaction from the advance was the private bureau fore cast of total of 10,125,00O bales to December 18th, indicating an output for the period just ended of 652,000 bales against 418,000 last year and 487,000 two years ago.
 Continued reports of large bookings of ocean freight room by exporters put the price of cotton higher today by from 22 to 35 points in the first half hour of business. Wet weather in the western belt was-alsO regarded as being help to values.
 The market showed increasing firm ness during the early afternoon. Spot firms were buyers of December with yefysfew sellers: in evidence after the scattering early liquidation anu prices went up to 29O0 or 50 points net .hiSher.
