CORN Is FIRM AT
CLOSE OF SESSION
Trading Is Quieter and Prices
Are Strong-Cash Demand
Is Still Slow.
OATS A LITTLE sTEADIER
Provisions Are Strong During
Most of Session, but Drop
on Realizing.

After an early break of 2 to 5 cents
a bushel the corn market reacted yes
terday and was firm during the reg
mainder of the session. The continued
declines of the last few days, followed
by the break of yesterday morning, put
the market in an oversold condition.
Consequently shorts covered freely ana
commission houses. which had previously
been selling, turned to the long side. A
rumor that credits had been arranged
with Germany was the signal for further
buying. Trading except in the early
part of the day, was only fairly active.
While prices were strong at the close
the sentiment remained bearish. 1t being
felt that this rally was overdue prin-
cipally because of the weakened techni-
cal condition. The belief that corn will
sell lower still exists. 1t is felt that
economic conditions have not changed
and that until they do one may expect
to see corn receding.
The slow cash demand Is one OF the
predominating factors in corn just now.
The further drop in cash prices was one
of the underlying causes of yesterdays
break. Selling was inspired by the
statement of Saturday by Herbert
Hoover on his return from Europe. Mr..
Hoover said that the crest of high prices
had been reached. Liquidation was
heavy and receipts large. Receipts are
expected to continue of good>size for the
present. Weather conditions were re-
ported as ideal and all fears Of frost
are believed to have passed. The visible
supply as expected showed an Increase
Oats were a little steadier than corn,
falling to follow that cereal In the break
1t did advance, however, when corn COM
menced to move upward. The domestic
demand shows improvement but the
foreign trade remains quiet.
Dispatches from the United Kingdom
tell of a falling off in the consuming
demand, due mainly to the liberal in
crease in offerings of Plate and Ameri-
can sorts Provisions were strong In
the greater part of the session, due to
the advance Of 25 cents in hogs at the
opening. Realizing sales cost part OF the
gains, but buying on the rumor that
credits had been arranged with Ger
many served to offset them

Whether a property owner is also

Hoenemann contends that sight of

There is said to be no direct prece-

is causing wide discussion in legal cir

Legal experts of England have dis

of national ownership of the air, it is
said.
Some lawyers contend that freedom

Partly satisfied state of mind and

the food reduction campaign and an
ticipation of bearish seasons statistics
on Monday account for the reactionary
course pursued However. it must be
realized that cotton is a specific mono
poly as to production, whereas other
commodities can be and are raised

be rather in favor of sustaining the
price of cotton.

rowboat, the disappointment would not be
so keen; but it stands on the broad

fence and surmounted by heavy canopy.
But to this historic spot, crowds o.
