called, who in this sacred war for a
cause as high as any for which yer

CORN MARKET
AT CHICAGO
is UNSTEADY
Uncertainty Regarding Max
imum Prices Causes
Wavering.

Chicago. Sept. 25.-Uncertainty
over possible changes in the existing
maximum values Of corn led today to
alternate weakness and strength. in
the corn market. The close was un-
settled, 7-8 to l 1-2c net higher. Oats
finished IA off to 1 la to 1 3-8c up,
and provisions varying from 2 1-2c de-
cline to SIC advance.
Belief prevailed during the first half
Of the session that the government
food administration preferred to have
the already established maximum
price on corn let alone. Much SELL
ing pressure resulted, with absence Of
any indications of frost danger tend
ing also to handicap the bulls. In
the last half of the day, however, a
sharp upturn ensued. The view that
no change would be made in MAXI
mum prices seemed toMhave largely
lost its grip on the trade, and there
was uneasiness, too, over prospects of
undesirable showers and cooler
weather.
Month end adjustment Of dealings
in the September option of oats,
caused that month to lose some of its
premium. Other deliveries, though
maintained firmness as country Of
ferings were light.
Provisions reached new high price
levels. Scarcity Of hogs gave a lift
TO the market, and so likewise did

couraged by A. c. Townley, showed
the true colors of those officials. The
