Corn G,oinn Down.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Further de-
preston of the corn market Is I'M
minent, members of the Chicago
board of trade, today predicted.
December corn today was at It's
lowest figure in three weeks and
within four cents of the level OF
several weeks ago when the big break
was precipitated by domestic influ'
ences. October and May corn have
tagged December and today were
down 8 to cents over last week s
close.
Little outside pressure and eastern
advices of importation Of Argentine
corn were dominating influences in
the slump.
Reports from southeastern markets
and Winnipeg show the bearish influ-
ences have been generally felt. Corn
was off at these points at approx
mately the same ratio as that in Chi
cago.
Old corn is being freely offered
but new corn is withheld. Sample
values were off 3 to 5 cents today
over Tuesdays best, the market
generally having an easy tone. OATS,
rye and barley have declined in sym
with corn.
