BEARISH VIEW
HITS CORN BUT
RALLY ENSUES
Crop Report Causes Sharp Backset
at Opening but Prices Later
Top Yesterdays.

Chicago, July 0.-Notwithstand-
ing that bearish constructions
placed on the government crop re-
port at first today with sharp set
back in the price of corn, the mar
ket soon rallied and except for De-
cember, went above yesterdays top
figures. The upturn was due largely
to the fact that offerings were being
absorbed by strong houses, and that
the ascent of hog values had not
Deen checked. Trading was active.
Opening quotations, which ranged
from 1 sc to sac lower, with Sep
TENDER $1.92A to $1.94, and Decem-
Der S15S to $1.59, were followed by
a decided general reaction.
Oats displayed sympathetic
strength. The government report
on this grain was regarded as
somewhat buIlish. After opening
unchanged to sc of including Sep
TENDER 73A to TAG, the market
sagged a little further and then
scored a substantial advance.
Provisions were dull but firmer
with hogs. A new high price record
for hogs was established, $22.S5.
The close was heavy. I q c to 35sc
net lower, with September $1.93 to
s1.931l and December $1.58 to
$1.581sc.
Oats closed strong with Septem-
Der 75A C and DECEMBER 76hc, and
provisions eased down at the
close.
