INDUSTRIES AND SHIPPERS COMPETE IN CHICAGO PIT Corn See-Sawed, While the
 Provisions List Varied From 25c Loss to soc | Decrease
ax Am.nI.t,a rr...

Chicago. January l1--1ndustries and shippers competed for corn today and rallied the market from declines due to an official warning against price
 hazards on wheat and flour after withdrswsl of government control. Ths close was unsettled st the same IS Ss t- urday's finish to 5sc higher. with May si.34is 91.Sfss, and July Sl.S2 5s q 1.SS Oats closed unchanged to ic down, and provisions varying from 25e loss to soc advance.
 At first selling the corn market was very active as result of besrish com clusions drawn from statements of Ma
 tienal Wheat Director Julius H. Barnes Besides, receipts of corn here today were larger and there was also drop in hog values. Later, however, the force of the Barnes statement was min imized by the fact that spring wheat was selling at the highest figure on record and that even chicken feed wheat, quoted at about equal to the government guarantee. Then came re- ports indicating that the supply of rail- road cars showed little or no improve ment. Good upturns during the later trade followed. Business in oats was restricted by in ability to obtain cars for shipments tc the seaboard.

 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 70 to 93 points on buying by interests who had sold on Saturdays z unconhrmed rumors of political up- heaval in Germany. For time the buying was extremely active and ex- cited and bullish sentiment was eH- couraged by the strong showing of Liv- erpool but the demand was supplied around the opening figures and after the close of the English market shut out arbitradc oiders prices here turned easier under realizing. There was also scattered southern selling the decline, which carried January off from 3S50c to 37.s0c or back to the closing price of Saturday, while May Broke from 35.50c to 34.6Sc and July from 33.s0c to 3315c, compared with 33c at the end Of last week Trade in terests were good buyers on scale down, however. while there was no change in the generally bullish char acter of the news from the goods trade or southern spot markets and closing prices showed recoyeries of 15 to 20 points from the lowest. Trading was comparatively quiet after the first rush of covering or rebuying, and demand was attributed largely to brokers with foreign or domestic trade connections.

Over Private Wires
Shannon X Cn,s Letter

New York. January i2-It has been a tretful, sensitive market all through the session today with traders fairly be- wtldered by the sudden changes in prices for apparently no reason at all. making it very difficult to handle busi- ness widh any degree of satisfaction Buyers dread being left with high priced contracts on their hands while sellers arc apprehensive that fresh demand will arise suddenly and find little or nothing for sale to satisfy it.
 There is also a report that foreign irl- terests have formed a pool to buy 2.0o0.- 0oo,0O0 bales of the off grades, ranging from ordinary to low middiing and that this will be financed abroad It needs lot cS encouragement however to bring in speculative support at this level as many, of that element are convinced that the period of deflation is here and that the best policy is to sell on hard spots so as to be in position to benefit by the collapse. Those who feel that way have on various occasions experi- mented with the market to test their theory, but so far without any brilliant power. Some day they will be right, no doubt, but we should prefer them to pass through the experimental stages in- dependently to us.-Post & Tlagg.

out most of the day. In the late af.er- noon, some short covering with buying orders from the south caused a reaction to over the B cents level for May. The near points were relatively weak and the easier securities market was also an unsatisfactory feature. With money as high as F per cent sentiment is very mixed. for the trade do not like the way the market eases quickly under liquidat- ing orders. but on the other hand recognize the determination of southern holders to await higher prices.-Hubbard Bros.
