Traders Anticipate Drastic Food Control After Movement Fifty Per Cent Reduction in' Hog Values Is Looked For. CHICAGO. Oct. 10. fnmerclful slashing of prices took place today In the corn and provision markets, lsrgely owing to reports of more drastic Government food control after November 1, but also influenced by peace falk and by weakness of securities in Wall street. The close was flurried both in corn and provisions with corn 4IS,rtT-5tsC net lower t (1.13 WI.l.Ttj for December and $t.0i 1M.0H7J for May. Oats showed a setback of l'ilHtc. Provisions finished 47c to g2.17 down. Heavy unloading of holdings of corn was" accompanied throughout the day by asser tions that under pressure from Washing ton corn was destined for gl a bushel to match with hogs at glO a hundred pounds. In connection also with the talk of Gov ernment regulation It was said a list of 25 commodities to be subjected to a scaling down of values would be niade public within a few days, and that corn might be included. Liberal buying for export gave comparative firmness to oats. Urgent stop-loss selling, especially of pork, carried the provision market rapidly down ward. Owners seemed dazed by the cur rent forecasts of glo hogs, which implied a cut of nearly 50 per cent in recent value. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open.
