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:

Sustained by he Inw of a vera gen. ft pro
fessor in the State Agricultural College of
Kansas declares that the fixed price of 92. 20
a t-uRhel for wheat as"u! to the farmer a
profit of $1.41. The professor estimates the
averace value of wheat land throughout the
country i.t 54R an acre, the average crop
at 34 bushels an itcre, and the average cost
of production at 7 A. 7 cents a bushel. These
figures place wheat lanlK in the front rank
of investment propositions in this country.
It means a net profit of flO.Ott an acre, or
more than 54: l-:t per cent. Vnited State
steel, common, with all its extra disburse
ments, pays only 17 per cent on Its par of
$1O0, and less than that on ita market
irice.
