OF the offerings were disposed OF before
noon,
White corn held its lead as a premium ar

the better grades of yellow ranged from
$l76h TO sl,T7 and the bulk OF mixed
brought $1.76h, one car OF high colored
mixed corn selling as high as N.T7.
The oats market was quoted steady and
while tho demand for this cereal was not
overactive II was easily strong enough to
take care OF the light offerings The bulk
Of the oats samples graded No. 8 white
and sold around Tlhc. while one car Of No

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Withdrawal OF Cash Buyers Forces DreI
In Corn After New High Record.

Chicago. July 6.-Withdrawal of European
and domestic cash buyers forced setback
In the corn market today, after new high
price records had been touched despite ac-
ton Of the board of trade directors stopping
all new business in the July delivery. The
market closed weak at the same as yester-
days finish to 1 &c lower, with September
sl,54h @l.54% and December N.l4h @
114%. Wheat finished unsettled with
gains Of "a @3c at $2.l2 for July and 1922
for September. Oats lost IN 92Bc net and
provisions 5Gl5o.
Inference OF an extreme shortage Of corn
drove traders at first into a buying stam-
pede for nearly an hour and sent values
climbing rapidly. The prohibition OF July
dealings had been intended as a measure
to avert any further continuance of the
high price record smashing that began last
Saturday. Instead Of curbing bullish excite
| ment, howevc i the exact contrary result
| was brought about. 1t was not until word
was passed that exporters In general and
the chief American industrial consumer as
we'll, had quit buying that the furry could
be overcome. Aggressive bear pressure then
| set in and all the big gains which had been
made earlier. were lost with considerable
| more besides
Wheat not only responded to the stimulus
| Of the corn, but developed Independent
| strength owing to less favorable crop re.
ports from the northwest. Damage was
| said to have been done by recent frosts In
Canada and there were also advices that
1 rain was greatly netueu III SeCLiunS

Heavy selling Of oats by leading com
mission houses weakened that cereal almost
| from the outset Favorable crop conditions
gave much impetus to bearish sentiment.
Provisions swayed with the varying ac-
| tion OF corn Demand for meats was said
to have improved somewhat. but to be yet

Export Control Program
Into Operation at Once

Washington, July 6.-America's ex-
port control program, planned with
the greatest care to make the block
ade of Germany effective and at the
same time to do no injustice to neu-
trails, has been determined upon and
will be put into operation within the
next few days.
Secretary Redheld today warned ex-
porters that they will save themselves
annoyance and possible claims for
damages by inserting in bills of sales
clause that the sale is made subject
to the sellers ability to obtain an
export license for their cargo. AT the
same time shippers were advised that
in view of the possibility of the gov
ernment's requsitioning ships they
should insert also clause in the bill
declaring delivery to be contingent
on the shippers obtaining shipping
