CHICAGO, April 8— Federal investigation of the alleged “corner” in corn here started bv the seizure of the books of nine of Chicago's largest grain concerns, centered today on two speculators said to have dealt heavily In corn since the time the “i orner” was started. The two are Herbert J. Blum, secretarv of the Gardiner Vanness Company and A. W. Cutten, a wealthy farmer.

STRIKE PROVES KEY TO GRAINS Market Dull as Trade Watches Labor Situation. CHICAGO, April B.—Transactions in grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade today showed no definite trend cither up or down in corn and oats. Trade was very light and buyers were ! awaiting further development in the railroad strike situation. The government crop report, which was decidedly unfavorable, coupled with rain and snow prospects over the grain belt, caused trade to take on a dull tone. May corn, which opened off %c at $1.64, rallied %e In later trading. July corn, down %c at the opening figure of $1.57%, w-as up %c later. September corn nominal at $1.54 on opening, lost %e later. May oats, down %c on opening at 90%0. gained %e in later trading. July oats, opening %c off at 83%c, increased %c. Provisions remained generally steady. Provisions slumped on the Board of Trade today, wiping out the early advance in grain futuires and sending corn prices below yesterday's closiug levels. Oats showed a little gain. Trading was quiet and choppy all day. Opening lower the bullish crop forecast on wheat—placing the condition at 75.6 oer cent, the lowest on record with one exception—caused a wave of short covering that sent prices well above yesterday's finish. When the short had covered around noon prices slid off rapidly close to the low levels of the session. At the close May corn was %@ c loweir, July %@%c down and September %c under Wednesday's close. May oats closed %c higher, July %@%c up, and September unchanged to %e dawn. At the close pork was 2.V under yesterday's final prices, lHrd 32%@50c under and ribs 30c off.

LATE FINANCIAL NEWS NEW YORK, April B.—The Evening Sun financial review today said: “There was further buying of stocks in large volume in today’s market; indeed the pace was so rapid at intervals as to invite realizing sales and bring’ about substantial reactions. "There w-as an under current of strength at all times, however, which furnished an ample basis for ready recovery after each setback and gave a, clear indication that the public was beginning to take an interest. ‘‘The equipments were equally well bought an! the motors soared, Studebaker pushing through 126 in the first hour or so. ‘‘Oils enjoyed i momentary advance in the last hour but the tendency to take profits which became more pronounced in that period, soon headed off the move. ‘‘United States Steel lost all its earlier gains as did Bethlehem, Studebaker and others among the leaders. "The reaction was a rather striking illustration of lack of confidence in the general position within the market. ‘‘Most of the war bonds were heavy." On Commission Row Hot bouse forced rhubarb is scarce and higher at [email protected] dozen bunches. Potatoes Up to sll 'bag of 150 pounds or $7.50 hundredweight. No relief in sight, dealers say.

EMBARGO BLOW TO LIVE STOCK Eastern Shippers Handicaped in Moving Stock. An embargo effective today by reason of the strike of switchmen at different points played havoc with shippers of live stock from the local yards. The Big Four Is open to Cleveland and intermediate local points, but is accepting nothing for points east of Cleveland that are routed through Buffalo. This affects all New York Central shipments to Buffalo, New York and New England points. Pennsylvania lines have an embargo on everything east of Philadelphia. The B. & O. is accepting New York shipments via Cincinnati, but this is a roundabout way and no assurance is given that even this concession will be of any duration. Chicago is still closed and with Buffalo, which is the hub for eastern shipments. shut off the outlet for live stock leaving the local yards is curtailed. This proved effective in cutting the price of hogs 25@30e today, and some grades of cattle 25@50e and putting a stagnant tone to the calf market. FLOUR AND CORN MEAL.
