Word that the German answer to President Wilson's Dote would be deferred until after a conference of the sovereigns of German f ed-erated ed-erated states was an important factor in cur- . tailing the selling pressure which had been forcing down the value of corn. Buying, however, how-ever, appeared to be restricted largely to shorts, who wished to collect profits and to avoid the risks that would be involved if covering were .delayed until Monday. It was evident, too. that recent selling had been so heavy on the part both of holders and shorts that many operators op-erators feared to take the bear side further al present.
