CHICAGO = GRAIN
Corn market today showed continued
firmness at the opening. Pit spectators
were inclined to the selling side, but COM
mission houses were fair buyers. Bears
put chief stress on the banking situation
as likely to bring about increased move
ment of grain. Corn opening prices, which
varied from IA lower to 1-8 advance, May
79 to 10 Ia, were followed by a period of
narrow fluctions within the initial range.
Whea twas easy, in response to lower
ume, after opening unchanged to 3-S low

mann and Pittsburgh Steel preferred To-
boccas were heavy American Tobacco drop
ping l IL and Schultz one. Foreign exchange
opened lower.
Speculative interest was at a low ebb
during the morning with price fluctuations
generally small and unimportant. Buying
power was centered largely in the steels,
equipments and coppers, equipments were
accumulated on the theory that they would
benefit by the installation of automatic
train devices ordered by the interstate
commerce commission. Coppers improved
in sympathy with the higher trend ON met
al prices. Railroads were largely neglected
