on the market today by holders who
had become unnerved. Prices
quivered and then collapsed. The
strain and It's violen result was at
tributed mostly to sweeping changes
announced in railroad operation and
to nationwide tightening of credit.
Wreckage of values totalled Is 1-2
cents bushel on corn, 6 3-S on oats
and $1.75 a barrel on pork. Tonight
owing to the tension created every
brokerage house in Chicago was call
ing for heavily increased margins on
all open trades and there was pros
poets of another strenuous day on
change tomorrow. Whether reac-
tion or a further drop in quotations
was to be looked for few authorities
were willing to predict, but anxiety
was evident that either contingency
should be guarded against, to an
unusual degree.
Rural owners took a conspicuous
part in the general selling rush that
precipitated today's smash in prices
1t was said also that heavy pressure
came from houses with Wall Street
connections. The outstanding GER
tainty was that liquidation of magni-
tude had commenced and was wholly
unchecked when the session came to
an end, with quotations at the lowest
point reached and the trading pits
bedlam.
Bearish sentiment was caused to &
large extent by the belief that grain
movements would be given priority
and another cause was the continued
nationwide cut in prices.
