Chicago. Oct. 14.-Pronounced
weakness developed in the corn
market today as a result of an I'M
usual absence of buying orders.
This condition was attributed more

probable enlargement of rural Of
ferings owing to increased husking
and Smelling. Opening prices,
which ranged from Il c to 11sc low
er, with December 1.21A to %.
and May 1904 to 1909, were fol-
lowed by material further set
back.
In the later trading. support
continued lacking and the Decenl-
Der delivery reached the lowest
price in more than three weeks.
Stock market depression was a
bearish factor. The close was I'M
settled &c to 171c net lower, with
December 1919 to 1918 and May
1904 to 1905.
Oats took q downward swing
with corn. After opening IN
change to ~ of, including Deem
Der at 702s to 7012c, the market
underwent a decided general fall.
Lower quotations on hogs and
grain pulled down provisions. Lard,
however, made d sharp rally.
