Show Chicago fjjgsifafeiig CHICAGO, OcL 1. Frost in parts of Illinois, la.,, Missouri and Indiana brought about higher prices today in tho corn markeL Wido difference between be-tween tho value of llvestook and of corn tended also to strength corn. On tho other hand, doubt as to whether any aoyoro damoge had been done by froBt noted as a oheok on buying. Opening quotations, which ranged J from to c up at $1.19 to $1.19 for December and $1.16 to $1.16V, for May were followed by a moderate reaction. Oats took the same path as corn. Independence In-dependence was lacking, although trading had a fair volume. Considerable firmness was shown by provisions, despite the fact that stockyard stock-yard interests were selling. The bulge in corn acted as a source of strength. Official announcement that no unusually un-usually cold weather was in prospect for the corn belt and that no killing frost had been reported, led afterward to declines In corn prices. Indications were that crop injury, if any, would be to quality rather than to qauntlty. The market closed unsettled at c off to a shade advance, with December at $1.18 and May at $1.15 Vl to $1.15. Subsequently provision demand subsided sub-sided and the market eased down with corn.
