Corn averaged low er today as a result of proposed broad new measures to hasten the crop movement Peace talk was also a bearish factor. The market closed unsettled, $1.27 tor January and $1.24a to $1.34 V, for May, with the final range varying from Ho to e decline to Mo advance, compared wlthh 24 hours before. Oats lost Ho to Ho. Provisions closed Irregular, all the way from 7 cents off to a rise of 26 cents. Announcement that a comprehensive plan was being urged for a railroad executlv to handle corn shipments only, and that tbe purpose especially was to facilitate liberal hauling of corn within the ensuing tnree or four weeks, led to a substantial drop in corn prices shortly after trading began. Peace gossip, likewise favored the bear during the Initial dealings, but recetvea much more general attention In the last hour, after the market had shown a tem parary disposition to rally because of re ports that railroad endeavors were being confined chiefly at present to meeting the urgent need of coal. Provisions advanced In consequence of the smallness of warehouse stocks here.
