IODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, May 17-CORN-Selling on the
part Of leading commission houses induced
fresh weakness today in the corn market.
The bearish effects of peace discussions in
the British house of commons appeared
to have grown rather than diminished.
In addition, bulls were handicapped by as
sertons that present stocks of corn and
the current movement would be more than
sufficient to meet all domestic require
ments. Opening prices which varied from
unchanged figures to sc higher, with May
$1.2IA to $1.27x @1.27k, and July $1.41N
to $1.42M, were followed by decided
break, which carried July well below yes
terday's finish.
In the latter trading, numerous rallies
took place as result of covering by shorts.
The close was unsettled at the same as
yesterdays finish to &c lower with May
$l.21A and $1.41A to 81 .415.
OATS-Reports of welcome rain in Ne
braska and Kansas gave an advantage
to the bears in oats. The weakness of corn
however, was the main depressing in
fluence. After opening Nc to 1ac lower the
market rallied little. but then again sag
ged.
PROvISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs made provisions advance. Liberal
allotment of government contracts tended
also to stimulate an upturn in values.
subsequently, buying power was ap-
parently exhausted and the market under
went something Of bearish reaction.
