GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, August 23.-Abundant offerings caused corn prices to decline early today only to advance in a greater degree later. when notable buying induced shorts to hasten to cover their lines. The close was strong and near the top. final fig ures being Ac to 1c net higher. with De- cember at S1.0sb to Sl .09ll, and May at S1 067sd1 .07 Wheat finished at SPOT, an advance of 1c for the September option. Last prices for oats were unchanged to Sc higher, and provisions finished from a shade lower to 15c higher. Until the surplus offerings were taken off the mar ket the trend of corn prices was dowE- ward.
 News from the fields both as to crop prospects and weather was bearish. dan ger of drouth damage being said to be over while reports told of big yields. Strong cash prices, coupled with curtall- ment of offerings, induced covering as the market advanced.
 Wheat trading was dull and prices fell off early, The rally later was unim- pressive and representa- tive only of the desire to complete outstanding contracts in September, the only trading option.
 Oats had firm undertone. which re- sponded when corn advanced Country offerings were light and cash figures somewhat higher, which contributed to the upturn.
 Provisions fell off at the start due to the weakness of the hog market. A lively demand, however, took the prices to high CT levels. october lard was conspicuous in the trading.
 Future quotations were as follows:

7 Speculative Issues AL ,t Wiped Out by Days
 Operations

ts7 York, August 23.-Latest aspects e governments price fixing pro- gfalr were assigned as the reason to mo 'ther weakness of today's stock Ha Important shares recovered ad- declines of 2 to points. but ral- nes in the final hour materially reduced many losses, some issues closing at net gains.
 Trading was on the most extensive scale of any session for several weeks. Coalers, steels, coppers, all the active equipments and numerous specialties were most often the center of irregular bear drives
 The oil stocks, which are expected to suffer from drastic price revision, lost more ground than any other group, Texas company making an extreme loss of Is points and Mexican Petroleum g. On the curb Standard oil issues registered gross declines of 3 to 90 points.
 Many margined or speculative accounts were wiped out in the course of the day operations. Liquidation for out-of-town interests, as evidenced by the heavy of ferings of commission houses, contributed immeasurably to the setback of the morn ing.
 Other factors favorable to the bears were furnished by fresh developments Tn the Russian military and economic situa- tion, the extension of domestic labor troubles and another reduction in steer price schedules, notably pig iron.
 United States Steel fell points to llsF4, its lowest price in about two months, put closed at net loss of A of point. Other steels made similar recoveries, and shippings, coppers and motors retrieved the greater part of their losses with rails.
 Bonds were heavy, the liberty issue however. showing firmness at 99.92 to a9 s6. Total sales, par value, were $2,435,- GOO
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 2S-Rapid fuctua- tions, both above and below the level of yesterdays close, were registered in the cotton market today, but the close was in favor of the bear side, heavy sell ing developing late in the session un- der unfavorable Russian reports and pri- vate accounts of rains in Texas Last prices were the lowest of the day and showed net losses of IA to 19 points.
 Around the opening prices were 10 to P points up but this initial improvement was followed by break under selling stimulated by private bureau condition figures and the market went to net decline of 10 to 1 points. Short covering increased on the decline and during the greater part of the day was the main influence lifting the trading months un- til they were 20 to 23 points over yester- days last quotation. It was not until we'll after the noon hour that the mar ket became really soft.
 Private bureau reports on condition in- dicated a falling off for the month of only l to points, which was accepted as being a pointer to a very JfaVprable percentage from the government. Bears pointed out that this month last year the crop lost over il points in condi- ton.
