In provisions the outcome varied from 17a decline to 15c advance. Recclpcs of corn were scanty and & ma jority of traders leaned to the view ihat demoralized traffic conditions would for the time being prevent any accumulation of stocks. - Price bulges that ensued reached In some cases the highest level yet this season. Oats weakened with corn after jump Ins; to new higrh record figures. Provisions were goverened chiefly by the action of grain. v The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: Corn Adverse weather conditions stim ulated buying power and new high levels were reached early, though In the fore noon the market developed a lower ten dency and declined shsrply on the weak ness in carh, together with advices that the railroad strike was nearlng an end. which brought out contracts bought on the theory tbat the strike would prove a bullish factor. The cash demand was not good.' with Industries unwilling to buy except at prices considerably lower. The corn market since the first of the year has been a different problem. The country's tA. M.
