CORN TAKES BIG JUMP
ON U. S. WHEAT GUARANTY

CHICAGO, August 6.-An instan-
taneous upward jump Of AZ cents to
~ cents bushel was the response
Of the corn market today to the an
nouncement that the government
would maintain the guaranteed $2.2s
price Of wheat. The biggest rise Of
the corn market was in the principal
trading delivery. December, which
scared at once to $1.52.
Wildness to buy was as evident to-
day IS the overwhelming rush to sell
had been yesterday. Holders and
spectators had done the selling yes
terday on the expectation that the
government would decide to pocket a
huge loss. and would at once cut
as 80 cents q bushel. When this idea
was shown to be- baseless the market
conditions were squarely reversed,
and for the time being little or no
attention was paid to notice that
-four would be sold at reduction OF
81 . barrel.
quickly shot skyward 2 cents to 81
cents, lard 65 cents a hundredweight
and pork $50 . barrel.
One Of the reasons for the con-
tinued strength Of the market In the
face OF the 81 cut In Hour prices was
that IL had been figured by traders
here yesterday that -four would be
reduced ~ a barrel. A widespread Inn
preston had prevailed that the gov
would be. made $1.75 instead Of ,S2.es.
and that this approximately meant
nour would be cheaper to the public
