EXCITED JUMPS IN VALUES OF CORN

' CHICAGO," Dec. 20. Excited Jumps la the value of corn resulted today from the lifting of an embargo on eastbound shipments and because of rumors that the maximum limit on prices would be raised with the approval of the Food Administration. The market advance, which was accompanied by a notable broadening out of trade, amounted at one time to 6 6-4 a bushel for May delivery, as compared with yesterday's flnnish. Opening quotations, which ranged from to 64c higher. withJanuary. $1.23 to 1.27 and May $1.20 to 1.26. was followed by moderate further gains before a reaction set in. Both December and January rose to within 4c of the existing maximum limit. Oats duplicated the action of corn. The greatest upturn, however was 2Mc. Provisions sympathized with the strength of cereals. The resulting gains, though, were not of a sweeping character.
