WEEK SHOWS DROP
IN ] PRICE OF CORN


CHICAGO: Doc. 27.-Big slashing Of
prices Of corn this week has resulted
from Instructions giving grain tho
preference IN freight handling from
the West and Northwest Compared
with week ago. corn quotations this
morning were down &c to SIC, oats
wore, unchanged to &c lower and pro-
visions up los to $l.15.
Il was generally conceded by corn
traders that the speed Of the crop
movement depended now almost
wholly on. the number Of cars that the
railroads could furnish. Opinions had
been widely circulated that car scare
ity would prevent any sustained heavy
flow OF supplies from rural sources be-
fore spring, but such views failed to
hold confidence after orders were out
In important regions to give grain the
right OF way even against coal.
Az consequence the downward
swings OF the corn market, were In
terrupted only In q transient way by
bullish factors such as brisk European
demand for wheat, rye and oats. or by
the signing Of the Edge bill.
Oats were steadied by Liberal ex-
port sales. Nevertheless to some de-
gree the market sagged with corn.
European business. especially the fur
nishing Of lard to Germany, did q good
deal to lift the provision market. Be
sides, there was q notable scarcity Of
offerings of pork.

MARKET STIMULATED
BY RETURN OF ROADS
fBv Associeted Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 37.- Christmas
week In the securities market derived
much Of tts occasional activity and
strength from the proclamation OF
President Wilson directing the return
Of the reailroads on March 1 next
The railroad situation remained under
. cloud, however, because Of the d.
vergence Of views shown IN the trans
portation bills adopted by the two
branches Of congress.
Trading otherwise was Influenced to
q considerable degree by the wide
fluctuations In call money due primar-
fly to the deficit In local bank reserves
and the lack Of public interest which
generally marks the year and period.
Market Restrained.
In It's broader or international
phases the market was restrained by
further delay In the formulation Of
the project to establish foreign credits
Exchange on London lost some Of ita
recent Improvement and Paris and
Italian rates reacted In sympathy.
Advices from many centers Of indus
try pointed more strongly to an ex'
traordinary revival Of activity In many
lines OF finished products, notably
steel and iron while copper and other
base metals were in greater demand
Indications that the market 10 work
ing out Of its long sustained rut were
also provided by the maintenance o1
prevailing dividends on several Of thu
better known copper shares.
Textile, leather and chemical issue.
were along the active and strong spe
cialties Of the week but these were
secondary to tobacco which continued
to improve on prospects of furthe,
consultations.
