CORN GOES UP AND OATS DROP Irregular Market Due to Car Supply Problem. CHICAGO, March 25.—Trading In frain futures on the Chicago Board of rade today was irregular, due to conflicting reports on the availability of car supplies for grain shipments. Provisions were lower. March corn opened late at $1.61, later gaining %c. May corn opened at $1.56%, and later lost %c, July corn gained %c, after opening at $1.50%, unchanged. September corn opened at $1.47’, and later was up %c. May oatß opened at 87%c, and then ; declined %c. July oats, opening at 80c, later lost %c. | Corn futures broke sharply during the last half hour of the session, net %@%tlower. Liquidation on the part of longs on all the hard spots, together with a lark of buying power on the dips, was re ported to be the chief reason for the decline. March corn dropped 3c, May delivery was off 2%@3e, July option declined 1%@2%e and the September future was 2%(82%c lower. Oats declined, in sympathy with corn. May closed l's@2c off. .Tilly was 1%0 j lower, while the September was %@%e lower. Hog products were off sharply, following the trend of the corn market. CHICAGO GRAIN. - March 25CORN—Open. High.
