Corn slid down fur ther in price today, owing more or less to bearish forecasts of the government's com ing report on farm reserves. The close was, heavy, l-914c not lower, with May $1.3091.30T4, and July $1. 271491. 57. Oats lost c to c and provisions 22c to 40c. Except for a brief Interval soon after the opening, bears had the advantage In the corn market throughout the session. It was said that the government report soon to bo Issued would show an unusu ally large total of feed grain still undis posed of by growers. This gossip ap parently gave fresh emphasis to selling pressure, due to belief that the federal grain corporation had started to 'liquidate Mg holdings of wheat and flour that seemed likely to have no -foreign outlet. Contrary announcements of possible re newal of flour buying on the part of the government tended temporarily to atlmu inte a little demand from shorts In the corn market, and so, too, did the cancel ling of freight restrictions east of Chi cago. No other support developed, how ever, and the close was near the lowest level of the day. Oats weakened with corn. Provisions were depressed by the de cline and the poor outlook for export business. , Art. I Open. High. I Low. Close, ITeat'y. Corn Feby. May July Sept.
