Show v 1 NEW YORK. Dec. 1 Tho we oc j the stock exchange began with nn es- I sentlal ' hanges in the general condi tlons which . have influenced recent op rations. Aside from Anaronda Cop- per. which gained almost two points, j and Crucible Steel, where a ihrce point loss was immediately recovered changes In initial transactions were limited to fractions. Newg over the week-end conflicting and impenciin? events, including the convening of con-gr con-gr 188, caused conservative financial Interests to urge further caution. CHICAGO GRAIN s J I GHICAGO, Dec 1 Corn made a I sharn ascent in prices today owing j chiefly to the fac that offerings were t light and that receipts were of com- ' parntively small volume The coal shortage and a decided jump In hog j values counted likewise toward strengthening the corn market.

Oats hardened with corn. After opening 1-4 to 3-4c higher, including 4 i May at 77 to 77He. the market sagged j j a little before developing new lira- 1 ne. 1 Provisions were lifted by the strength of hogs and praln.
