CONTROL
 SENDS DOWN GRAIN
Traders Believe Government Will Move Much Feed
 stuff From Interior

Chicago. December 27.-Grain prices averaged lower today chiefly as a re- suit of announcement that the govern ment would take possession of the rail- roads. Corn closed steady, January si 261sa1 .2s1l, and May $l .24ssd1. .247s. with the finish as a whole varying from A0 ssc decline to Isc advance, compared with A hours before. Oats underwent set back of 7sa1sso net and provisions of Sc to 25c.
 Most corn traders inclined to the be- lief that the government would now bring about a larger movement of feed stuffs from the interior to the principal terminals. Any aggressive selling based on this theory however, was checked by disposition to wait until the actual grain showed up. In fact, the present scarcity of arrivals led at one time to- day to something of a rally, but the strength failed to last, except in the De- cember delivery. Lack of cars continued to be reported from many sections. New ertheless, with peace news attracting fresh notice the tendency of the market to sag was almost constantly recurrent.
 At the outset prices of oats had an upward slant owing to export inquiries Later, though, the new railroad outlook, together with peace talk, led to a sharp break.

 New Orleans, December N-The price record levels today, on both spots and futpres, by the announcement of gov- ernment control of the railroads of the country and the continued strength of the spot situation. holiday feeling was much in evidence but there were pe- rods of decided strength during which the ring found difficulty in meeting the demand which came from both covering shorts and longs just entering the mar ket. Opening at the advance, the mar ket soon mounted to a level 24 to 2S points over yesterdays close. In the aft ernpon prices sagged under realizing from holders of long contracts and late in the day the easiest months were to points under yesterdays final figures. The close was 5 points up to 3 points down, net.
 For awhile in the morning the mar ket was helped by reports of strong rises in prices of leading railroad securities. Reports from the spot department were nothing short of sensational, being to the effect that buyers were sweeping factors sample tables of all offerings of the better grades without haggling over the price These reports were, in some measure, borne out by the official quotations, showing rise of 63 points, which put middling to 29SSc, the highest spot price in over 50 years. At the high est of the day in the contract market January sold at 29.60c, the highest fu- ture quotation ever posted in this mar ket.
