CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, July 29.-Nervousness over
labor conditions and race riots had
a depressing effect today on the corn
market. Prices closed weak, sc to
&c net lower, with September $1.96S
and December $1.71$ to $1,71 u.
Oats lost &c to Nc. In provisions
the outcome varied 35c decline to 25c
advance.
1t was through severe breaks in
the value of hogs that the influence
of strikes and riots became most di
Tectly a factor in the corn trade.
Labor shortage at the stock yards had
been rendered SO acute by the COM
plete stopping of surface cars and
elevated trains and by the clashes be-
tween negroes and whites that pack
ing houses We're unable to handle
anywhere near the normal amount of
livestock With hog prices therefore
dropping in some cases 81 hundred
weight, setback of corn values was
virtually certain.
Heavy arrivals of new oats added
decidedly to the weakness of the oats
market.
Provisions were Cor the most part
on the down grade with hogs Shorts
bought lard and ribs, but otherwise
the market was almost dead.
Closing prices:
Corn-Sept., $1.965s Dec, Sill Is

CAUTIOUS MOOD
United States Steel Loses
Slightly Over Two Points,
But Receivers in Last Hour
Other Shares Recuperate,

New York, July 29-The stock
market was in a receptive mood dur
ing the greater part of today's mod
erately active session, the uncertain
price trend again indicating enforced
caution by the trading element.
United States Steel lost slightly
over two points in the two to five
point reaction of the forenoon, but
recovered in the final hour, when the
list, oils and standard rails excepted,
displayed fairly strong recuperative
powers.
Pools were especially active in to-
baccos, New York Dock common and
preferred, American Writing Paper
preferred, United Drug, United Cigars.
United Retail Stores and several of
the utilities, including Montana
Power.
The cheaper rails, especially New
Haven and Texas & Pacific, came in
for further bullish attention. but in
vestment transformations were dis
posed to sag, though showing less
heavness than oils, motors. equip
ments and shippings. United Fruit
ran counter to the general reversal,
holding much of its substantial gain.
Total sales, 100000 shares.
International bonds were strong but
Liberty and other domestic issues
were irregular, local fractions evinc-
ing some heaviness. Total sales, par
value, $f3,T50,000. Old United States
