CORN PIT IS DEMORALIZED
BREAK OF OVER SEVEN CENTS
IN CHICAGO MARKET.
Efforts to Cut Cost of Living and In
dustrial Disturbances Lead
to Selling.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1. Big, new downturns
in the value oi grain and provisions today
accompanied sweeping fresh Industrial dis
turbances and progress of efforts to cut
the cost of living. The corn market fin
ished semi-demoralized, SfifTsc net lower,
with September $1.8!) !i & l.Hi , and Decem
ber $1.5614 f 1.67. Oats lost 2-H3Ho and
provisions 2540c.
Although right at the outset values broka
severely in the corn market, it was not until
after midday that they appeared to verge
on collapse. The increased weakness then
was due to the strike of 100.000 railway
shopmen and the rapid developments at
Washington in regard to measures for lower
living cost. Suddenly almost a dead stop
in orders to buy became evident, with hold
ers wildly trying to unload. The market
went lower and lower, till the gong cleared
the pit.
Despite, some export buying, oats gave
way with corn.
Provisions were governed by the weakness
of grain and hogs.

be taken Saturday morning, August -General
McWade replied:
"I solemnly and most earnestly pro
test against such ill-advised action, re
minding the union of the recent in
crease, and strike vote or strike talk
at this perilous reconstruction period
will be injudicious, unwise and unpatri
otic, especially in view of the fact that
their entire case is still in conference,
and that immediately after my adjust
ment of the strike problems Involving
all the mills In Coeur d'Alene I will
hasten to Wallace and press their de
mands to a final settlement one way or
another."

Market Advances Sharply With Eastern Boy.
ins Also Factor.
A belated flurry In the grain bag market
has s- the price up to 19 cents, with some
sates reported higher and also a few trans
actions at a lower quotation. A scramble of
shorts to cover was chiefly responsible for
the advance, although the market was also
strengthened by buying for shipment to the
east. Sellers have about filled their re
quirements now and the trade looks for prices
to stand where tbey are for the present.
It is believed there are enough bags In the
northwest for all requirement, but no par
ticular surplus: In California, however, a
shortage is reported and as the bags left in
that stater are In few hands, the position of
the market is very strong. In the north
west, farmers generally filled their needs
before the advance, but some held off.

STOCK MARKET STINGER
VALUES ADVANCE AS MONEY
RATES RELAX.
Steps Taken to Prevent Recurrence
of Recent Fluctuations In Call
Loan Rates.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. Stocks were under
the shadow of the money market during the
early part of today's dull session, but
strengthened very generally later, when
fears of a repetition of yesterday's stringency
proved to be groundless.
Call loans opened at 8 to 7 per cent,
those quotations ruling until shortly before
the close, when large offerings reduced the
rate tor mixed collateral to 5 per cent and
that of ail Industrials to SH per cent.
It is believed tbat nlans now approaching
crystallization are likely to prevent a re
currence of recent gyrations In call money,
but foremost financial Interests continue t.j
stress the advisability o( reducing specula
tive commitments.
Tomorrow's recess was a factor In the
day's relatively light turnover, but the in
creasing agitation connected wuth certain
domestic problems, particularly tne hlgn liv
ing cost, has materially diminished public
interval In the market.
Bull pools resumed their operations in sev
eral of the more speculative groups, such as
tobaccos, leather, paper and chemical shares.
United Cigars and United Retail Stores en
livened the final hour, the first named
gaining almost 12 points.
Oils, steels, motors and equipments con
stituted the other features of the later deal
ings, when heavy coverings of short con
tracts extended to rails and shippings, also
metala and utilities. Pacific Gas and Electric
rising almost ft points. Salca amouuled to
l.ooo.ooo shares.
Recent conflicting changes In bonds
marked today's moderate operations In that
quarter. Moat domestic issues. Including the
liberty group, were irregular with steadi
ness In internationals. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $10,850,000. Old United
states s were per cent higher ott the
week.

While the wire-edge of demsn-t for e"in

eastern centers seems leas eager, the con
census of reports In that trade ss a whole

period: Industry, particularly the big bas,.- '
lines, such as Iron, steel, lumber and cos .
seems stronger. with prices hardening;
trade reports seem to grow better and com
plaints aro still numerous that mills and
other large producers are slow to f.ll
