Chicago, June 17.-Bullish enthu
siasm in the corn pit decreased consid-
erably today and the undertone of the
market was weaker, owing to a sharp
break in hogs and cooler and more fav-
orable weather in the belt.
This caused good deal of selling by
commission and wire houses. under the
lead of Eastern interests. The buying
power was undermined by yesterdays
general covering movement, and it was
not difficult to depress value. Pur-
chasing by country houses and by shorts
brought about recoveries at times.
The action of the cash article was
disappointing. the undertone being
easier, with demand rather Indifferent.
Light receipts were forecast, and it was
said that farmers were not inclined to
sell.
The lower temperatures and the set
back in hogs had bearish effect on
oats. and the market was easier. An
unfavorable report by local authority
failed to have much influence. although
bulls called attention to the fact that
oats we're 81 bushel cheaper than
corn. Receipts were liberal.
Private cables said that it was feared
that there would be heavy falling off
in the yield Of oats abroad.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
