CORN PRICES SELL
DOWN AT CLOSING
Market Has Early Firm Tone,
but Reaction Sets In Dur
ing Afternoon.

Having had a firm morning tone, the
corn market reacted yesterday afternoon
on liquidation by what was believed TO
be Southwestern interests and selling on
news of the coal strike. Prices advanced
ss to cent in the early trading and then
sold OF u to u cent. Profit taking was
In evidence throughout the session.
There was little commission house de-
mand after midday, but offerings con-
t,nued light. There Is still uneasiness in
the trade because of probabilities of the
coal strike and its results. 1t Is gen
orally felt that the Governments strong
policy would force early settlement Of It,
The market continues to be dominated
by professionals Outside interest Is at
minimum. Early firmness was caused
by rise In sogs, continued unfavorable
weather, small receipts and better tone
in securities. Hogs were firm through
cut the day. The rainy and unsettled
weather IN the belt are hampering CON
ditioning and moving corn.
Receipts continue light, due to car
shortage and reports that farmers are
inclined to hold. The cash situation
remains firm. Sentiment is mixed Ar
gentine markets continue to decline In
spite of fair foreign absorption. Farm
ers are offering freely and their appar-
ent willingness TO sell is the main de-
pressing influence. Although the out
look for the crop may be considered
favorable, 1t will have to pass through
many vicissitudes gefore the outturn is
realized. The present surplus Is so
large that liberal quantity will be
left over.

"Modern MilIer,s" Outlook.

CHICAGO, Oct 31.-The Modern MESyr
says: Heavy rains In the Southwest
caused wheat to sprout In the stack In
scattered sections. There is a lack OF
storage room as well as cars for move
ment and much winter wheat has been
piled on the ground. Although none OF
1t will be loss, It's quality will suffer.
Kansas. Missouri and sections of Illinois
and Ohio report considerable wheat In
stack owing to scarcity of threshlng
crews. Ploughing and seeding continues
in the Southwest, where fields are not
too muddy. Ploughing continues in the
Northwest where possible Threshing
