LOWEST PRICE
OF YEAR PAID
IN CORN MART
September Down TO S1.3S and De-
cember to s122 at Opening
in Chicago.

Chicago. Sept. 13-Lowest prices
yet for the 1919 crop were reached
today in the corn market. There
was no support in sight except
from proft-takiEg short sales,
which were attributed to the re-
adjustment from a war to a peace
basis and from an old to a new
crop basis. Opening prices, which
ranged from &c off to 1sc advance.
with September at 1.3s to 1.41 and
December at 1.22 to 1.23, were fol-
lowed by slight rallies, but then
by a new downturn.
The fact that the market was
still far above a pre-war level him
dered any important rally. Sep
TENDER delivery led the decline,
but most OF the trade was in De-
cember and May, neither of which
months dropped more than usual
for a single day. Prices closed
heavy, csc to Toe net lower. with
September 1856 to 1851 and De-
cember 1885 to 119B.
Oats were easier than corn.
After opening unchanged to sc
lower, with December at 691s to
694, the market continued to sag.
Provisions reflected the weak
ress Of grain. Selling, however,
was not aggressive.

OF THIS WEEK
More Settled Labor Situation
Quickly Reflected By Gains
All Along Line.

New York, Sept. 13.-Stocks re-
corded highest quotations of the
week during today's Session, the
market rejecting the favorable
turn in the labor situation. Equip
ments and oils were most active
at advances of 2 to almost 10
points but steels, motors, ship
pings and tobaccos were not far be-
hind. Textiles. feathers, coppers
and food shares participated more
moderately. with various miscel-
laneOus issues. Rails were back
ward at the outset but developed
marked strength in the later deal
ings, especially transcontineptals
and several minor issues, notably
wheeling and Lake Erie. The clos
ing was strong. Sales approx
imated $4,000 shares.
The bouyant tone of the stock
market at the outset suggested a
more confident view by financial
interests of the labor situation.
Equipments. oils. shippings and to-
baccos led the advance at inintial
gains of / to points. These were
materially enhanced in many in
stances before the end of the first
half hour. motors and their spec
ialties being added to the list of
strong issues. United States Steel
rose point with Bethlehem gain

points. Rails were again the only
issues to lag, the few transactions
