PROFIT-TAKING STARTS
REACTION IN CORN PIT
Market Turns Weak late in
Session-Business in
Oats Large

Chicago. May 21.-Aftcr showing
good advances. due to covering of shorts
and scattered commission house buying
encouraged by continued unfavorable
cool weather and light receipts. the
market for corn turned weak late in the
session. and some sharp reactions were
recorded.
Earlier in the day the demand for
May was So persistent that II carried
this option to 81 I9ai. new high rec
ord. compared with S1.T9 the previous
top mark. made on May IL.
When the market appeared strongest
profit taking started the reaction, On"
commission house attempted to sell
corn, which disclosed lack Of buying
power and prcripitatcd free selling
, movement. under which prices ran off
sharply from the highest in tho late
! trading.
Business was comparatively large in
the market for oats. and during the
greater part Of the session the market
moved in sympathy with corn. Shorts
took the offerings. but profit taking in
September and sales Of July by cash
houses finally forced reaction.
! The realizing sales at times were
rather larg" and exceeded the demand.
