CORN AND PORK ARE FORCED DOWN TODAY

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 5. Demoralization seized the grain and provision trade this afternoon and forced down corn 8V3 cents a bushel in some cases, and pork $3.50 a barrel.

In the excitement attending the development in the corn market, prices fell one-half cent between trades. The descent did not cease until corn had reached a leved 32 cents a bushel below the high point of the market a week ago.
