Corn hardened in price today, influenced to some extent ex-tent by tho fact that predictions of larger receipts wore still unfilled. Attention At-tention was given also to tho wido discount dis-count at which futures were selling, as compared with the value oi any good wish corn. Furthermore, an advance ot tho oats' market to the highest luotations yet this season counted in favor of the bulls. The opening, which ranged from tho oamo as yesterday's finish to half a cont higher, with January Jan-uary $1.20 and May $1.19 to $1.19 ii, was followed by a material upturn all around. Pronounced scarcity of offerings acted as the immediate ground for a sharp bulge in the price of oats. The sustained recent export demand was generally accepted as a more funda- iui-uuu reason. Absence of support weakened provisions. provi-sions. Higher quotations on hogs were ignored. Announcement that trading in provisions provi-sions had been restricted to meet tho wishes of the federal governmont led afterward to additional declines. President Wilson's recommendation that congross declare immediate war on Austria -Hungary had no apparent effect on tho corn market. In the last half hour, however, his references to proposed 'new prico fixing had a bearish bear-ish influence. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterday's finish to ViC higher with January $1.20 and May $1.18 c. KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 4 HOGS Receipts Re-ceipts 11,000; market higher.
