HIGHEST PRICE FOR CORN
SINCE LAST JULYQUOTED
Oats Also Up Beyond All Records.
Switchmen's Strike Factor
in Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Corn kited to-
day to the topmost prices since last
July. The switchmen's strike here
made shorts increasingly anxious and
final quotations were buoyant, 2% to

1.64 and July 1.s7A to 1.5Sk. Oats

Possibilities that the railroad labor
trouble in Chicago might assume
much larger proportions were chiefly
responsible for the growing strain
today in the corn market 1t was
admitted on all sides that with trans
portation further handicapped the ac-
cumulatfon OF any adequate stock of
corn here to flll current contract
would be virtually impossible. Lift
ing OF wartime restrictions on flour
business counted also as a bullish
factor. Besides. offerings were scarcer
even than has been the rule of late,
and they quickly found their way
into strong hands. Predictions also
were current that spring wheat
acreage this year would be reduced
instead Of augmonted. Under such cir
cumstances II was no surprise to wit
ness prices at the last jump with
something of a furry.
Oats ascended with corn and brought
the highest prices on record for i'm

Money Market Conditions.
The money market continued tight
