crashed down Monday sssc to 11Ac a
bushel and closed excited at the low.
est point, with September at $1.40h
to $1.4OA and December at $1.43A
to $1.44h. The action OF Rumania in
taking the field against the Austro-
German armies formed the chief rea-.
son Of the market collapse, but the
depressing outlook regarding the
threatened strike of 400. 1000 American
railway employees was undoubtedly a
factor. Corn finished 1Ac to 2Nc
down, and oats off 2Hc to 2Nc.
