GRAIN MARKETS
Bears Have Success in Corn
and Oats Market, Helped
by Tighter Money.

CHICAGO. Jan. i0.--Bears pressed
the selling side OF the corn market to-
day with considerable success, The
fact that Increased federal reserve dis
count rates here became effective this
morning tended TO curtail buying and
SO, too, did uncertainties OF freight
transportation. Opening prices which
varied from the same as yesterdays
finish TO NC lower with May A.S4S
10 sl36A and July sl.Sa to $l.S5h. were
followed by substantial decline all
around.
Word that Secretary Glass had asked
authority to make loan to Austria to
buy food rallied the market In the last
hour. Prices closed firm, NC TO 2g2hc
net lower, with May Sl34A 0l.S4le and
July Sl.32% to Sl32%,
Oats gave way with corn. After
opening at &c decline to isc advance
including May sS5sc to S4hc the mar
ket underwent a general setback.
Provisions were weak for the same
reasons as grain.
Later there were reports of British
offers to resell lard to packers, but
the bearish effect was partly counter
balanced by the proposal of an Amer
lean government loan to Austria.
