Chicago. Aug. 27.--There was a rally
in the corn market today, following
weakness, which was due to the gov
crnment' $ persistent efforts to cut prices
for necessities the disturbed labor sit
uation. renewed tenders of the new
crop from Texas and further losses in
hogs. provisions and rye. This en-
rouragrd free selling by local interests,
but later the demand improved and Of
ferings decreased. business continued
small.
\ good deal of emphasis was placed
on the lightness of the contract stocks
here and the insufficient supply of cars
TO move the crop. This forced shorts in
September to cover and caused Il sharp
advance from the bottom in that posi-
ton, but the gain was not held, owing
to assertions that Omaha was shipping
corn here.
Sentiment favored the bear side. but
til" large premium on the cash article
over December discouraged selling.
Oats finished easier. although at on"
time they showed an Improvement. The
buying power was not good. and lorn!

New York, Aug. 27.--A favorable

encouraged selling Of cotton at the
opening today, and first prices dropped
. to lG points in consequence.
There was only n moderate busi =
ness, with little active interest in view
of the holidays approaching and the
government report, which is due next
Tuesday.
The market remained quiet during
the middle Of the morning, with fluctua =
tions narrow and irregular. Trading
seemed to be almost entirely for local
account. with selling, on the unsettled
labor situation and disturbed stock
market, restricted by the absence Of
southern pressure and anticipations of
bullish crop reports.
