this caused a slackening in the outside de-
mand, bringing about a somewhat easier

strong with good buying based on cabled
reports of serious frost damage In southern

off because of the developing weakness Of
cash wheat Nebraska sold wheat here for
15-day shipments at 4Ao under December

Trade found it difficult TO digest the long
corn unloaded by larger interest yesterday
and this morning. Down state reports are
that many of the elevators are full, but un-
able to get cars to load or loaded cars

oats eased off a little with other grain.
There was considerable early buying by the
spreaders, who sold May corn against May
oats. Cash concerns also fair buyers; east

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-In the stock
market Rock Island fell into the back
ground today after its highly sensa~
tional performances of yesterday. Those
performances left an impression on the
minds of traders that security cap
able of such eccentric and inexplicable
action might carry with II hazards in
the handling which discouraged at
tempts to experiment with 1t.
AS for the episode itself not much
fear was felt of direct consequences OF
harm from II.
The supposition continued to gam
force that reckless and laundering mis-
application of manipulatYe methods
were at the bottom of the incident. On
