LLERS CAUTIOUS

ON CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. 18. Continued mild weather that promised increasing receipts gave a little advantage today to the bears In corn. The fact, however, that as yet no decided enlargement of the number of arrivals had taken place tended to make sellers cautious. Meanwhile the embargo on east-bound shipments from Chicago remained an effectual check on bulls. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to l-2c lower, with January $1.20 1-2 and May $1.18 1-2 to $1.18 5-8, . were followed by a slight general down turn. Oats declined as a result of sales to go to store. Besides nothing was heard of any export bids. Much more about receipts of hogs than had been expected broke the provision market. Buying support was poor.
