THE GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, Aug. 4-Values reeled wildly downward today in the grain and provisions markets. Holders of all the commodities on the list en- gagged in a strenuous effort to unload quick and thus escape being caught in the whirl of the movement against high cost of living. Corn closed fur ried 4llzc to ' net with September $1.79 to $1.79H and December $1.4SA to $1.4S%. Oats lost 2A cents to 3A cents and provisions s1l10 to $2.25.
 Heaviest breaks shown at the end of the day in the corn market were December delivery, which at the last minute was still falling rapidly, after having dropped about 25 cents a bushel since less than a week ago.
 Inasmuch as the December is the principal future trading equivalent of the 1919 corn crop, the shrinkage in values which has taken place during the last week might be figured at con siderably more than half billion dol lars. Actual cash prices for corn available for immediatede livery, how ever, have not been cut more than 10

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The stock market experienced a drastic down ward revision of quoted values today, the entire list yielding as result of adverse developments over the double holiday.
 Extensive liquidation which had its inception in transportations reflected the extension of the railroad shop mems strike and the unexpected atti- tude of the railroad brotherhoods.
 From rails the decline soon spread to shippings, steels, equipments, oils, motors and the several specialties which recently featured the bullish operations of pools and cliques, par ticularly tobaccos and feathers.
 Gross declines among rails and shippings ranged from to 10 points high grade or dividend-paying shares evencing no bette rthan secondary or reorganized properties.
 Selling continued in enormous vol ume to the end. Sales, 1,900,000 shares
 The relation of the railroad shop mems strike to leading industrials was indicated in the case of the U. s. Steel corporation, some of whose plants were forced to shut down almost com pletely.
 Railroad bonds reacted in sympathy with stocks and other domestic is- sues, as we'll as international, were irregular to heavy. Total sales, par value, $12,650,O00 Old U. S.bonds unchanged
