WIDE SWINGS FOR CORN
IN THE CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO. May Notwithstanding
that the corn market this week under
went the .severest break which ever
took place during a single session Of
the Chicago Board Of Trade, prices
this morning wore up again to withiu
2a3N cents Of the figures current be-
fore business began last Saturday.
Dinering aspects of the problem Of
how best to hold an even balance for
the huge conflicting interests affected
by distribution Of the American wheat
ana hour supply were mainly respon-
sfble for the wide swings Of the corn
market. The weeks outcome for oats
ranged from az decline to 4 ad-
vance.
Rushes to soil corn reached their
climax on Tuesday with a tumble Of
IL y cents bushel in price after the
national wheat administration had
declared that speculation in -four
must stop. The most forcible reaction
from tho extreme weakness Of corn
was on Thursday when the market
made an extraordinary upward jump
of nearly eight cents. A liberal move
sources owing to the temptation Of
unusual profits was partly responsible
for the smash in the corn market
On the other hand, widespread rural
holding back OF offerings promptly
ensued. and was an important factor
in the subsequent upturn Of values.
Complete stoppaEe Of flour sales by
two large milling companies that
pleaded wheat scarcity tended further
to rally prices.
Oats were governed by corn.
Provisions shared tho furries of
grain, but averaged higher on account
Of foreign demand. Lard reached a
now high cost record.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Prospects Of de-
layed planting as result Of too
much rain led to fresh advances to-
day in the corn market. Closing quo
tations were strong. 2h to 3N net

GAINED y to / cent and provisions
to rs cents.
Buyers were in majority. through
out the day In the corn pit, and there
was notable lack of offerings at
times. especially when the principal
shorts tried to cover. Widespread wet
weather and the forecasts that field
and atmospheric conditions would
continue adverse for at least several
days appeared to indicate that late
ness of the planting season might
become an important factor in deter
mining the ultimate yield. In this
connection, bulls made much of re-
large areas from central Kansas to
northern Illinois. On the other hand,
eastern shipping call nearly vaniah-
ed, owing to the new upturn in prices
Besides, week end adjustment Of
trades operated somewhat as check
on the bulge.
Oats responded to the advance Of
were against the bears. y
The rise in provisions was ascribed
to strength of grain and hogs. Sales
to realize profits did not altogether
counterbalance the effect.

]. l.. Bache & Company-The DEM
ocratic administration has during the
war been more or less leaning To-
ward government ownership as pos
sible method Of winning favor with
railroads, however. gave it q deadly
blow, and to some extent enected
cure-but not a complete one. Mr.
Burleson was not cured, and "nlle
the telephones and telegraphs nau
been taken over before the war end
ed. the rather sudden coming OF the
armistice seemed to block his ambl,
tions Nothing daunted, however, and
without a particle of necessity for do
ing so. he apparently persuaded the
President to let him grasp the cabies
also. The Boston telephone strike,
methods and inefficiency Of govern
ment control, and the further suppress
sion of the New York Worlds dis
patches let loose torrent of re-
sentiment and publicity. which be-
came countrywide. From this sprang
an insistent demand for Burleson's
removal. The only way out for him
was to let go his hold. and this was
done this week-cables being COM
pletely released and telephones and
telegraphs soon to be.
In relinQuishing his hold Mr.. Bur-
Lesson makes the statement that he has
not given up his convictions that gov
ernment ownership is best and most
economical. But the cut in rural mail
service, just inaugurated. shows in
what direction government owner
ship attempts to effect economy. 1t Is
by curtailing service and efficiency.
The results of attempts at economy
by government ownership are shown
by the whole conduct of the postal
service. Under private ownership bet
ter and better service is aimed at
without increasing cost to the con-
sumer.
Date for the. conference between
railroad administration officials and
Judge Gary and other steel makers
has been set for Thursday.
