Chicago, Aug. 6.-A jump Of Az 10
9k cents a bushel was the response OF
the corn market to the announcement
that the government would maintain
the guaranteed price of $2.26 for wheat.
December scared at once to s1.5o. '->.
While zest to buy was as evident to-
day as yesterdays rush to sell, holders
who had done the selling yesterday on
the expectation that the government
would accept a huge loss on cut prices
on wheat as much as so cents BUSH
ell, the market conditions were reversed
and for the time being no notice was
paid to the announcement that flour
would sell at $40 a Darrell. Oats snot
to an increase Of cents a~hushel.
Sellers Whipsawed.
Chicago, in the excited trading spec
ulators, found themselves whip sawed
to an extent not often equalled. A
majority, yesterday were on the sell
ing side. trying to anticipate the ac-
ton Of the government. The lightning
like advance left no chance to get out
of the predicament without a costly
penalty. So large were buying opera
tionS that individual trades, no matter
on what scale, counted for little. Of
ferings were limited, and came only
from the comparative few who We're
fortunate enough to be In a position to
collect profits.
One of the fresh developments was
that dealers, for the most part, regard
ed the cut of 81 in flour prices as bull
ish instead of bearish. For the mo-
ment the view was generally accepted
that such small cut, where much
larger one had been looked for. would
tend to lift the market for all commod-
tiles rather than relieve the situation.
Long after the usual period when
reaction from an excited advance
might be looked for. the market kept
strongly pointed upward. Prices swung
backward at times. but in the main the
big initial bulge was upheld.

lowing the price Increases.
The public says the report. had
to pay prices for shoes that not only
