Corn Jumps
Up 1Oc Bushel
In Chicago Market

Chicago. Aug. &Scenes of wild
excitment prevailed again today at
the Board Of Trade. where corn
prices Jumped up ten cents Q busheL
after having suffered an equal
drop yesterday Rushes to sen yes
terday were almost surpassed in the
wild scramble to purchase today.
Even in the hectic days of the
war ten-cent fluctuations in grain
in a single day were rare.
All transactions here turned on
the news from Washington that the
government, contrary to the outlook
yesterday. would not adopt sacrifice
selling Of wheat. as q means Of at
lacking the high cost Of living.
This decision. although unexpected
and notwithstanding the rebound in
corn prices which resulted. did not
elicit much unfavorable comment.
The cut in -four prices which
would have been the consequence If
the government sacrifice Of wheat
was popularity estimated at not more
than s. barrel. The actual cut of
81 a Darrell. announced simultan-
eously with the decision to maintain
the guaranteed price on wheat, was
almost ignored as a market factor
According to one authority. the
indifference concerning the cut In
-four prices grew out of the fact that
the average PEI capita consumption
of -four is but one barrel a year
and therefore the cut meant almost
nothing in the cost OF bread.
