Grain I CHICAGO, Oct. 1,--Frost in part* of Illinois, tow-s Missouri and Indiana brought about 1 higher prices today in tbe corn market. Doubt, however, as to whether any wevere damage had 1 beev done by front acted as a check on buying. I ipenlug quotations, which ranged from ! to %e up at $1.19 to (1.i9 *s December and $1,161* to $1.16*. 4 May, were followed by a i moderate reaction. Official announcement that no unusual cold weather was in prospect for the corn belt and I that DO killing frost had been reported led aft . erward to decline*. The market closed . unset tled, %c off to a shade advance, with Decem ber at $1.18% and May $1.15% to $1.15%. Oats took the same path as corn. Considerable firmness was shown by provis ions. despite tbe fact that stock yard interests ! were selling. The bulge in corn acted as a I source of strength.

The dam age i< widespread and material, and is being increased further by unfavorable weather condi tion*. A. cold wave followed In the wake of the trflpieal disturbance and tbe map this morning ehowa temperatures as low as 44 into central Mississippi and 48 in south Georgia. Present crop prospects do not surpass those of la»t vear very much. The map indicates fair and con tinued cool weather for the eastern half of the belt w increasing dmtdineM and warmer tn the western half, with rainy weather following to wards Thursday. A report from North Carolina says: "Heavy, continuous rains caused Mg damage to crops," and Montgomery says: "The most serious loss is to the cotton crop, which was badly damaged In ail the south Alabama counties." Journal of Commerce makes condition as of September 22. 64.5. against 60.6/ the month previous. Liverpool was unchanged on old contracts, Mit about 3” down on new; spot prices unchanged on old. 63 higher on the new- si*ot basis, which is good middling instead of middling. With /he grade lowered by the storm in Alabama ami tlie Atlanttes. the premium on the better grades 1* liable to increase. Our market opened about unchanged, eased a f«*w points, then rallied to around 22.85 for Dei-emlier anti remained in n waiting attitude. It is being freely realized here that the crop situation has changed to bullish but the un certainty of financial and political development* cause Indecision of action and trading today wa« also affected by tlie uncertainty of tomor row'* report*. The census refiort will he out at fl a. tn., giiinz ginnings to September 25 comimring with 4.052.0T0 last year. Expectations are for between 2.400.000'and 3,000.0000. The con dition report will bo published at 10 a. tn. our tint*- giving the average condition for the holt on September 25. General expectation is for around 61. which will compare with 56.3 last It should be remembered that this report does not cover any damage to the crop by the recent storm. ” Atlanta Live Stock > | V J (Corrected by W.
