GRAIN REVIEW Chicago, 111, Sept. 24—Unofficial pre­

dictions of unfavorable weather led to a bulge In corn prices today. The mar­ket was also bulllshly affected by re­ports that crop damage of late appear­ed to have been ihore serious than the trade as a rule had believed. Offerings Were much lighter than Usual. Opening prices ranged from%c off to %c ad­vance at (1.17% to 31.18 December and $1.14% to 11.16 May were followed by a decided advance all around.

Bears were handicapped by the fact that the directors of the /Chicago board of trade will tomorrow set a date for a conference with other exchanges relative to a possible removal of max­imum prices on corn. The close was strong, 2%c to 2%c net higher at $1.20% to $1.20% December and $1.17% to $1.17% May.

Oats hardened with corn.' Greatly en­larged receipts of oats here tended how­ever to check buyers.

Scarcity of hog supplies continued to lift provisions. AVestern receipts of hogs today, showed a falling off of about a third as compared with a year ago. On the other hand, shipments of meats from Chicago were greatly in excess of last year's corresponding figures. The steepest advance this morning was in Septembervdeliverjr of • pork, not­withstanding that pork already was at a high record level.

Covering by shorts who were watch­ing the corn pit was a factor in a sub­sequent advfthce. So, too, wete Liver­pool reports that the provision market there Was strong and supplies light. In addition, hog values here were highest since the" record levels reached several months ago, when the hog market took a meteoric rise.
