MARKETS

BEARISH EFFECT ON CORN VALUES CHICAGO, Dec. 27. Notice that the government -would take possession of the railways bad a bearish effect today on the corn market A majority of traders inclined to the belief that the government action would tend to result in a larger movement of grain from the interior to the principal ter

minals. Selling based on this theory, however, was not of an agresslve character. Opening prices, which ranged from unchanged figures to Jc lower, with January $1.264 to $1.26 and May $1.24 to $1.24. were followed by a moderate setback all around.

siderable strength, the market later took a downward swing with corn. The initial upturn was ascribed to a forecast of much colder weather and to likelihood of export sales. Provisions were irregular and dull. Pork showed a small decline, but lard and ribs scored slight gains.

They also took all provisions, saddles, bedding and his rifle and ammunition. After the bandits left, Rojo managed to free himself and came on foot to the camp of tht cavalry detachment at Holland's ranch, and from there by wagon to Valentine." Troops stationed at Valentine are

prepared for a possible raid on that place, word having been brought to the station today that bandits were preparing to attack during the night. All he ciizens of Valentine are prepared to help the soldiers in defending the town. j One Seriously Wounded. ' According to latest reports received by Colonel Langhorne, only one American soldier, Private John F. Kelly, r "oop, was seriously wounded in the fight, while many Mexicans are redoited dead or wounded. ' A report from Villa sympathizers received here indicates that the bandits were men from the Carranzista forces. From other sources Colonel Langhorne has received information that the bandits are so-called Villa followers who were impersonating Carranzista forces even to the extent of dressing in their uniforms in order to bring discord upon the government troops. Mexican officials have telegraphed Colonel Langhorne that their troops from Chihuahua are prepared to cooperate with the American forces in trying to exterminate this band of raiders. " j Evidences that the bandits had penetrated farther inland than they had expected and were Teing forced to abandon all but their most necessary

equipment was shown today by the surplus military equipment, sidearms and even extra horses which were

picked up by reinforcements sent to join in pursuit of the raiders. A num

ber of Mexican dead also were found by the American cavalrymen.
