MARKET OPENS WEAK
AND THEN RECEIVERS

Chicago. oct 26.-Although pros.
poets for enlarged receipts led to
something Of decline in wheat prices
today at the outset. the market soon
scored an advance Orders which
have been issued regarding a better
distribution OF box ears were inter-
preted as meaning that facilities for
quicker movement OF grain to primary
terminals might soon be in operation.
However. bulls were favored by high
er quotations at Liverpool, and there
was continued lack of rain in the win
ter crop belt. The opening, which
ranged from &C off TO Ac up, with
December and May both at Slll1s to
Sll1.s, was followed by slight gen
eral setback and then by an upturn
all around.
Corn fiuctuated with wheat After
opening nc lower TO a like advance
December 6jsc to 66hc, the corn
market wavered little and then
made moderate gain.
Oats were firm from the start, open

and later continuing to harden.
Provisions reflected a downturn in
hog values.
