BEARISH TONE
TO CORN MARKET
Government Operation of
Railroads Has Effect Of
Lowering Prices

Chicago, Dec. 27.--Notice that the
government would take possession OF
the railways had a bearish effect to-
day on the corn market, A majority
OF traders inclined to the belief that
the government action would tend to
result in q larger movement of grain
from the interior to the principal ter
minals. Selling based on this theory,
however, was not OF an aggressive
character. Opening prices, which
ranged from unchanged figures TO
* NC lower, with January S1.26k
to si.26h and May $1.24h to $l.24M,
were followed by moderate setback
all around.
Although at first oats showed con
siderable strength, the market later
took q downward swing with corn.
The initial upturn was ascribed to
forecast of much colder weather and
to likelihood of export sales.
Provisions were irregular and dull.
Pork showed a small decline, but lard
and ribs scored slight gains.
The days range of prices follows:
