The aame was true aa to the cowa and heifers. On beef steers the best are quotable 26 50c higher ofr the week, and others about that much lower. Good cows are selling fully aa wall as a week ago, while canners and cutters ara a drug on tha market at tha lowest prices of tha season.

Chicago, Nov. 15 Attention to th urg ent need of relieving th food shortage in Europe had a decided bullish effect to day on corn. Th market closed strong, 3 to 4 cents net higher, with December $1.21 to 1.22H and January $1.22'A to 1.23'. oats finished to H4c up and provisions ranging from 15c off to $1 ad vance. Persistent reiteration of atatementa In dicating that short hauls would have to be utilized to the greatest extent possible In supplying European food requirements, and .that the drain on this oountry'a re sources would therefore continue acute dominated the corn market almost from the outsat. In this connection estimates were current that 1,600,000 tons of Oerman and Austrian shipping would aoon be made available. Selling on the part of leading commission houses led to soma weakness at th opening, but had only a transient Influence. Prospects of a big reduction of corn acreage In the winter wheat states helped to lift values, and so, too, did Improved feeding demand south west Word that six steamer would be loaded with oats for export from Baltimore gave some Independent strength to the oat market. Provision received gsneral upward Im petus from advices that th December average price on hog would be the same a during November.

Conflicting opinions In high quarters respecting tha forthcom ing period of reconstruction left their further Impress on th stock market today, tha movement of prices being decidedly irregular most of tha session. - Secretary McAdoo's plan for a downward revision of the government's program of taxation and the statement of th head of the war board that business need hav no misgiving were balanced by th peaslmls. tie views of Industrial legislation In ralatloa to labor adjustment ' Tha course of several market leaders was traceable, however to mora definite and Immediate causes. " Marin preferred registered an extreme decline of almost 10 point on announcement of further delay In th sala of tha company'a British tonnage, rallying 1 points later. In point of activity, marines ware almost aa prominent as United State steel, but steel shook off some of its recent heaviness, holding all Its 2 -point advance. Inde pendent steels, Including th war division, were 3 to ( points higher. Coppers denoted th further nnoertalnlty of the war board'a aotlon aa to new price schedules, but motors, especially low priced Issues, strengthened In anticipation of th removal of th government's embargo. Oils rose and fell In characteristic fash Ion, ending at mixed gains and losses, tobaccos were slightly less variable and miscellaneous shares were mainly higher, but, rails, aside from th (trength of "Nlckle Plate'' issue, forfeited most of their moderate advances. Bonds were heavy on th 3 per cent reaction In Marine 6's, foreign Issues also easing with the Liberty dlvlson. Total sales, par value, aggregated $1,300,000.
