took all provisions. saddles, bedding
and his rifle and ammunition. After
the bandits left, Rojo managed to free
himself and came on foot to the camp
of tht cavalry detachment at Holland S

BEARISH EFFECT
ON CORN VALUES

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Notice that the
government would take possession OF
the railways had bearish effect today
on the corn market A majority OF
traders inclined to the belief that the
government action would tend to re.
suit in a 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 70 a
1ac lower, with January $1.26A to
$1.26k and May $1.241s to $1.24B,
were followed by moderate setback
all around.
Although at first oats showed con-
siderable strength, the market later
took a downward swing with corn.
The initial upturn was ascribed to 4
forecast of much colder weather and
to likelihood of export sales.
Provisions were irregular and dull.
Pork showed small decline, but lard
and ribs scored slight gains.

The question of subsection to that

powers of the quadruple alliance. be
solved internally. In this case it must
be solved by each government togetil-

Likewise, in accordance with the
declarations of the statesmen Of the
