Better Crop Conditions
Cause Break IN Corn


western corn belt caused heavy selling
in the corn market, and, after showing
more or less firmness during the early
session, prices broke and closed with
net losses of ssc to 3 1sc.
The weather map showed little rain,
but private reports received during the
day declared that it was raining
throughout a large part of Kansas and
Nebraska, and the forecast indicated
unsettled conditions. The weakness
which developed in the stock market
and in many of the other commodities
had tendency to undermine conf
dence, and there also was disposition
to look for an increase in the daily re-
ceipts as soon as the new freight rates
become effective.
