LABOR CONDITIONS AFFECT TRADING
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Corn Lost a Fraction, as Did Oats, While Provi- sions Were Up and
 Down
By Associated Press

New York, July 29.-Nervousness over labor conditions and race riots had a de- pressing effect today on the corn mar ket. Prices closed weak s-sc to 7-sc net lower, with September 196ss and December 1nss to TIE. Oats lost $ to 1A. In pro visions, the outcome varied 35c, decline to 25c advance.
 It was through severe breaks in the value of hogs that the influence of strikes and riots became most directly of factor in the corn trade. Labor shortage at the stock yards had been rendered so acute by the complete stopping of surface cars and elevated trains and by the classes between negroes and whites that packing houses were unable to handle anywhere near the normal amount of livestock. With hog prices therefore dropping if' some cases $1 a hundredWeight, a setback of corn values was virtually certain Although for a few moments at the out set, drought and heat lifted corn quota lions, sentiment the greater part of the time afterward inclined plainly to the sear side.
 Heavy arrivals of new oats added de eided1y to the weakness of the oats mar ket.
 Provisions were for the most part on th'. Town grade with hogs. Shorts bought ard and ribs.
