CORN PRICES ARE
GREATLY LOWERED
r^*J^ *»w

Chicago, Nov. It.—Corn prices un
derwent a material decline today ow
ing to scarcity of fresh buying orders.
The majority of traders appeared to
take the view that the advance of
about 13c during the last week was
more than sufficient until stronger in
dications of enlarged exports develop-
Some skepticism as to the supposed
acuteness of the food shortage in
Germany was also expressed. Opening
prices which varied from unchanged
figures to lc lower with December
1.27 1-2 to 1.28 1-2 and January 1.29
to 3-4 were followed by a setback all
around.
Oats, like corn, lacked aggressive
support. Considerable hedging pres
sure was in evidence. After- opening
unchanged to 5-8c lower with Decem
ber 73 3-8 to 1-2 the market continued
to sag.
Lower quotations on hogs weaken
ed provisions.
Subsequently, assertions that recent
large purchases of flour by the gov
ernment were the beginning of a plan
for feeding Euvope led to a sharp
rally. There was also talk of im
proved seaboard demand for oats and
of preparations to shiu food to Aus
tria on a big scale. Prices closed
strong 1.7-8 to 3 cents net higher,
with December 1.30 3-8 to 1-2 and
January 1.32 1-2 to 3-4.
Rallies took place later as a result
of the upturn in the grain markets.

GAINS IN STOCK
MAINTAINED TODAY
New York. Nov. 19—The first hour's
business of barely more than 150,000
shares was followed by greater apathy
today on the stock excnange. Gains
were well sustained in the main, the
early rallying making further prog
ress in steels, equipments, shippings
and coppers as well as tobaccos and
rubber issues. Oils were irregular, but
hardened later on further buying of
Mexican petroleum, ahd ails were
flrm, Southern railway featuring the
moderate demand in that quarter. In
the bond market foreign issues were
the noteworthy features. French gov
ernment 5 1-2's gainnig 1 per cent
with concurrent strength in French
municipals.
Stocks were dull but firm at the
opening of today's session, leaders of
the more important division showing
gains of fractions to a point. Invest
ment rails, steels including the inde
pendent group, and motors anfl oils
were the prominent features, but the
undertone soon became irregular on
Mexican Petroleum's two point re
versal. This condition was overcome
before the end of the first half hour,
however, when United States Steel,
coppers and active specialties rose
substantially.
Aside from occasional dealing in
obscure specialties the market was al
most motionless during the midses
sion. Later however. leaders became
heavy again, Mexican petroleum de
clining six points from the top and
others 1 to 3 points.

Why Produce Good
Foods If They're
Not Delivered Right?
This is the reason Armour has a Branch
House here. It is apart of the food-distrib
uting machinery no less important in its
way than the producing plant and the
refrigerator car are in theirs.
While -most of the Armour Branch Houses
are cooled, by ice or mechanical refrigera
tion, they are not "cold-storage" houses.*
They simply hold in first-class condition the
stocks tiecessary for local distribution for. a
limited time. The spacje in the average
Armour Branch House permits only about
ten days' supply. For every carload of .:
goods shipped in, therefore, there must be.
equal consumption here.
