RUSHING ID UNLOAD SENDS GRAIN AND PROVISIONS DOWN
Corn Hit Toboggan for 11Hc, While Pork Fol lowed at $1.80 Per
 Barrel
By Associated Pres

Chicago, April 19.-Overwhelming ruSheS to sell swept all grain and provision prices headlong downward today on the Board of Trade.
 The biggest fall was in corn and pork, respectively 1115c a bushel and $1-SV barrel. Action which the Board of Trade officials and the federal wheat director had initiated against excessive cost of foodstuffs did much to force the aval. anche of unloading. Besides along threatened free movement of corn and hogs from rural sources had finally un- nerved spectators, who for months have been winners by anticipating the sky ward flight of the market. Closing prices of corn were excited at the low est point of the season, q net decline of sBG111tc, with July $1.5SAG1.541a and September s1.51@1.51h. Oats lost 21s@Slsc and provisions 20cS9$1 80
 Weakness of prices in the corn market was evident soon trading opened. All members of the Board of Trade had received in their morning mail notice. to report any open deals in July and Sep tember corn of more than 100000 bushels. This notice implied that any undue spec ulative operations which pointed toward higher living cost were about to be curbed with a ruthless hand. Then the
 liberal arrivals of corn and hogs here from the country further unsettleS the confidence of holders and deprived the market of support On the ensuing downward plunge of values, stop loss or ders to sell owning to exhausted mar gins were uncovered in profusion At fnis juncture when the pit was already set demoralized, announcement was made that the government would largely dis continue purchases of wheat flour Tor export and if necessary to stop specula- tive fever for high prices would tRrow off all import restrictions on foreign wheat and flour. The immediate result was paralasis of demand for corn. Vio- lence of the breaks in the market now reached the acme, as the closing gong drove the perspiring crowd of brokers from the floor.
 Oats tumbled with corn.
 Provisions shared in the furry of sell ing brought on by the same factors that swept the grain markets downward. Buyers were hard to find.

Shannon x Co.'S Letter

New York April 29-Pressure increased during the later trading and prices broke rather sharply but met support on the decline from covering by early seilers' and rebuying by sold-out bulls, repiaclns 3 their lines Several of the larger local traders who have been looking for the market to meet with setback for some time past were credited with selling rather freely today and houses with west ern connections were also sellers thought to be a reflection of the weakness in the grain market. Exports were z6OO pales for the ray, following 22,OOO yesterotiy' Official cables report a larger business In cloths in Manchester and more dolng Tn warns so that it would look as if a good demand for actual cotton from that quar- ter may be relied upon and may be re- flected in the export movement Resic- tions are natural, and must be expected and one has been long due but our ieei- ing remains unchanged that It IS Detter to keep clear of the short side enurely for the time being and until more IS known about the supply for next season.
 New York, April 2s.--The market holds it's stride of heavy trading and strength remarkably well again illustrating US active and optimistic tendency. The fea- tures today have been the Marines, Su- gars and one or two others. The rise in the Sugars was accompanied by con fdent talk of a large foreign market at lenst during the coming year.
 The news from abroad has been encour- ing in that despite the serious Italy diffi- culty. the adoption of the League of Ma tions programme brings the actual sign ing of the peace treaty within sight AS long as this prospect is favorable inc market is likely to stay very strong but as we hnve frequently said, on the consummation of this even, most of the specialties which have been strong ana active so long will have reached prices that will make people very anxious to know when the actual business outlook is before going into new and more com ,nitments POST~& FLAGG.
