Dec 16 Corn displayed considerable weakness todaj, influenced influ-enced more or less by reports that most corn millers were Idle and that export buying of corn meal and corn flour had" been stopped Gossip was current that very little of this year's crop would be used for human food as compared with last season. Selling, however, was not aggressive.
