Decline in Feeding Demand Also
Tends to Weaken Market at Chi
cago Close - Is Nervous.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5. Corn- weakened lo
price today after the fact became clear that
Northern Illinois offerings in particular had
considerably enlarged. The market closed
nervous, lc net lower to e advance, with
both January and February $1.31 to $1.82.
Oats lost to c and provisions finished
unchanged to 50 cents down.
Unsettled feeling and many fluctuations
within a narrow range characterized the
corn market until numerous rural holders
began to show more of a disposition to sell
than has been the rule of late. Previous to
this development, the spread of influenxa
through farming communities was taken in
some quarters to indicate restriction of labor
and possible consequent serious curtailment
of supplies. Late in the session, however.
besides the increase of offerings, evidence
was at hand that feeding demand In some
sections was not so keen as recently. Profit-
taking on- bulges served likewise to check
bullish sentiment.
In the main, oats followed corn. Trade
was chiefly local. Shippers were apparently
out of the market for the time being.
Provisions sagged with grain and hogs.
Packers were credited with buying spar
ingly on the decline.
Leading futures ranged as follow
