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.
