Traders Fail to Appear.
Sharp Break in Oats
Chicago. Dec. "a.


Business in corn was limited and of a
holiday character today and the market
was again irregular. Many traders
failed to appear and wire service was
impeded bv a severe snow storm. The
bad weather and the smallncss Of re-
ceipts and STOCKS made shorts in the
nearby deliveries nervous.
A sharp break in oats depressed prices
after they had been firm in the fore
noon. when there were fears that the
heavy SHOWS would greatly hamper the
movement from the farms. Little was
lone in the cash article. although eX-
porters wery asking for offers.
Liquidation and short selling caused
the weakness in oats. The bears APP
| peared to have the advantage, owing TO
| continued dullness in the cash trade
and an absence of inquiry for export.
Stocks are accommodating and hedge
| selling is on the increase. There was
a show of steadiness at the outset on
covering by overnight shorts, due TO
the rough weather. n in sympathy
