CORN AT HIGH MARK
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Active Trading Due to Rainfall in
Crop Districts-Wheat Prices
Ease Down.

Hy the ASSOCIATED Press.
CHICAGO, February l4.-High prices
for corn as well as active trading re-
suited early today from wet weather
over the corn belt. July establishing
new top quotations for the season.
Wheat was steadied by corn strength,
despite snapisture where needed. Open
ing han 10 rs up, corn reacted a
little and then rose higher than be-
fore. Wheat started at IS lower to an
equal advance and held near TO initial
figures. Oats we're firmer. Provisions
also tended upgrade.
At noon corn was "a to ! u cents net
higher and wheat varying from As de-
cline to shade advance.
Business In the corn pit today quick
ly assumed large proportions. with COM
mission houses persistent buyers, eS-
pecially of the May delivery. Mean
while reports were at hand that prevail
ing vet weather had put some rural
wagon roads into the worst condition IN
years With farmers apparently unable
TO deliver much corn even II willing,
country offerings were small.
With heavy snow and rain over the
West and Southwest helping TO make
crop prospects ideal for Winter wheat,
easing down OF wheat values today was
noticeable at times. Trade in the wheat
market here, however was relatively
light and the decided upward swing OF
the corn market did much toward null
lifying any downward tendency Of
wheat. There were also reports OF
revival OF wheat purchasing for Europe
with indications OF continuance.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Selling Government Securities.

Selling Government Securities.
The Federal Reserve Banks have
various ways by which they may regu-
late discount rates. The one most in
evidence today to effect higher quota
tons for money Is the sale OF Gov
eminent securities which the Federal
Reserve Banks hold in their portfolios.
Throughout 1927 these banks persist
emily bought Government securities.
In the early part OF the year they held
end OF the year the amount had in
creased to $604.000,000. When they
bought these securities they released
their funds In payment to the open
market and thereby assisted in keeping
the money market at a level con-
sistent with the 3la per cent discount
rate.
Recently the process has been re-
versed. In order to correct the
tendency to overspeculate in securities
and to expand brokers loans unduly
the Federal Reserve Banks have been
letting out liberal supply Of Govern
compelled the market to take up these
securities and thereby have reduced
the supplies Of loanable funds This
has had the effect OF strengthening
the rate for time money without. how
ever, affecting the rate for day-to day
money, known Familiarity as "call
loans"
The experience Of other periods. such
as those between June. 1922, and July.
1923, and November. 1924. and March.
1925, has been the sales of Govern
ment obligations by the Federal Re-
serve Banks have preceded an advance
in the discount rate by the banks. The
effect of such sales is to increase the
direct borrowing OF member banks.
This year the selling Of Government
securities has taken place coincident
with the first step in the refunding
Of the third Liberty AZ per cent
bonds. but the pressure Of these sales
on the market has had very little
effect on the prices Of either Liberty
