Corn.-Strengthene by reports that
the food administration had placed a
minimum price OF $3.50 on hogs for
100 pounds. the corn market was active
and decidedly higher during the day,
closing az a. 20 2.sc net advance, and
practically st the best point of the
session. The theory upon which bulls
operated was that such a minimum
price would place farm value Of
about Sl.20 on corn for feeding pur-
poses. Such price IL was felt justi-
aed higher ruling IN the contract
market, and there was accordingly \
good demand from shorts and commits
sion houses most Of the session.
Several setbacks occurred, during one
Of which prices reacted about a cent a
Oushel from the early high point, inhu-
enced by the weakness in the stock
market. a reported decline OF from
20 cents bushel in the price Of old
cash corn and scattered realizing, bu-
offerings were well absorbed and such
declines were soon recovered.
While the weather over the belt was
favorable. there wGs some prospect OF
rain after the holiday, which tended
20 increase the bullish feeling IN the
market. as did also reports from the
South that. notwithstanding a bumper
crop, il was not coming out. Southern

upon the reported fixing Of a minimum

IL should be remembered that ;here D.

Oats. There was sympathetic
strength in the oats market, which
closed Z 20 sc net higher. An alb
sence of hedge pressure was noted, and
while export demand was slow, the
movement was rather light and il f.
expected that any normal increase OF
corn receipts will be at the expense Of
oats. The cash market was little
