A further keen inquiry for rails, which embraced all branches of that division, occurred in the second hour, with increased gains in investment shares and additional addi-tional davances in minor issues. Motors Mo-tors were under persistent pressure and United Fruit was heavy. Bonds were irregular. Chicago Grain Reports of further railway embar-' goes-east of Chicago counted subae- V quently in bringing about closer corn prices. The close was heavy at 2 1-8 to 2 3-Sc, net decline. Absence of wheat export buying: led afterward to a decided downturn, which was emphasized by talk of additional ad-ditional railway embargoes on east-bound east-bound grain shipments. Warnings of U-boats on this side of the Atlantic appeared to handicap the bulls. The close was unsettled, 1 3-1 to 3 5-8c net lower with December at S1.67 and May at $1.73 7.8 to 1.71. Sugar.

Scantiness of deliveries de-liveries here on December contracts had a bullish influence today on wheat.

Prospects of a better distribution of railway cars affording some relief or the traffic congestion between here and the Atlantic seaboard tended also to lift values. The opening, which ranged from the same as Wednesday's finish to 3c highor, with December at $1.71 to $1,71 1-4 and May at $1.77 1-2 to $1.70 1-2, was followed by moderate further gains and then something of a reaction. Corn rose with wheat. Fine weather, weath-er, however, promising enlarged receipts, re-ceipts, acted as a check on the bulls. After opening 1-Sc to 3-4c higher, the market showed a disposition to sag. Strength developed in oats ag a result re-sult of the advance of other cereals. Buying orders, though, for oats were generally confined to small amounts. Selling pressure from commission 'houses weakened provisions. Higher quotations on hogs appeared to be ignored.
