Setbac ok for Corn.

Corn owed its setback in price chiefly
10 a sudden withdrawal Of demand on
the part of distillerS. The reason for
this withdrawal was the clause. in the
food control bill forhidding the use Of
grain for the manufacture of any dis
titled beverage. Bearish authorizations
of the government crop report counted
also in depressing the market. and so.
too did widespread beneficial rains.
Wet weather and consequent thresh-
ing delays prevented oats from sharing
more fully the weakness of corn. In
addition. there were some complaints
of car scarcity.
