RENEWED OFFERINGS
SEND CORN DOWNWARD
Business Is Not Large and
Sentiment Is Mixed-Oats
Are Easier

Chicago, Dec 28.-Reports from the
country indicating more disposition on
the part of farmers to sell and generally
favorable weather led to renewal OF
offerings of corn in the pit and the mar
ket was weaker.
Commission houses were moderate
purchasers on the decline. Business was
not large and sentiment was mixed.
There was a good deal OF bearish talk
on the floor, and the opinion was eN-
pressed that the technical position had
been weakened materially.
The arrivals here today were 81
cars.

S1.37, against $1.36% at the end yes
terday and declined at $l.S59s.
oats were easier in sympathy with

set. but at the bottom there was some
demand which steadied values. Receipts
