advances in the price of corn todaymade dealers for get in a hurry tran¬sient sharp declines, which, at theopening of business, had resulted fromthe German note replying to the in¬quiries of President Wilson.
[ Bearish action of the corn market,instead of an advance, had been gen-erally looked for, but the extreme de-cline shown was only 4 cents, a breakwhich, for a war-time market, wasnot unusual. Trading on the. breakwas lively, though by no means otie-sirled, and the market was rallyingwhen announcement that the United.States government was to purchaselarge quantities or corn. November|and December delivery, led to a rushto the bull side. Then values wentsoaring in earnest and quijjkly reach-ed !)'- above the early low point.Opening prices, which ranged from
1 to 4 lower, with November, 1.11to 1.12, and December, 1.09 to 1.11,were tlie minimum. Recoveries beforethe government buying program wasmade known amounted to 2a2u.Oats swayed with corn. Changes,
however, did not exceed ordinary lim¬its. After opening unchanged to 2%lower. . the market rallied to wellabove Saturday's finish.
