CHICAGO. August 1s.-Assertions
that railroad traffic curtained by the
shopmen's strike would be normal
again by Monday had a bearish in
f1uence today on the corn market.
Opening prices. which ranged from
y decline to y advance. with Sep
TENDER 1.S4A to 1855 and December
Las to 1.46. were followed by a
moderate general setback, and then
something of rally.
Oats were relatively firm owing to
talk of export demand. After OPEN
ing haH to y off. including Septem-
Der at 74ts to TAN. the market sagged
a little more. and then assembled to
above yesterdays finish.
Provisions had an upward slant de-
spite weakness in the hog market
Gossip that packers favored on the
buying side was more or less re-
sponsible.
