closed at 921ac. July corn opened at SIC, against

or no demand, but selling was persistent and
aggressive almost from the start Long corn
was sacrificed freely. Short Selling was on an
enormous scale, and the execution of stop loss
orders completed the Generalization. After
touching 64Ssc the decline began, and with one
or two minor reactions dropped to 531zc. Then
there was a rally to 53lkc, and at the close il
was 52Ssc. Oats had strong start, owing to
the fact that only 81 cars were received. when
100 had been expected. July sold early at $3.50
