GRAIN MARKETS
Increased Receipts Of Corn
DepreSS Values in Early
Part of Session.

CHICAGO, Dec. Big receipts
here and increased arrivals in the
Southwest had a bearish effect today
on corn. Fresh supplies at Chicago
amounted to $50 cars, whereas extreme
estimates had been for 500. Initial
prices which ranged from &c off to &c
advance, with January $l.2S01 .2Sb and
May $l.2SN1. 20, were followed by mod
crate upturns, and then by a decided
setback all around.
Later the market scored a material
advance, influenced by unfavorable
weather any by opinions that owing to
the lateness OF the crop movement it
would hardly be possible to accumulate
an adequate winter stock at Eastern
ports. Prices closed strong, 1%@2%c
net higher, with January $l.31b Ql.31A
and May $l.30@1 .30b.
Seaboard inquiry helped to sustain
oats. After opening unchanged to nc
higher, with January TIN G71Bc, the
market hardened a little and then
showed a moderate reaction.
Liberal exports gave firmness to pro-
visions. The temporary local embargo
on hogs was also a bullish factor,
Some selling pressure which devel-
oped later had no lasting result.
