speculating in Breadsturs.

The NetO Enolond Farmer gives the fol-
Lowing account of the recent corner in the
corn market; A little party Of men visited
Chicago Ia month or two ago, with perhaps
about half million dollars al command,
and began privately buying up all the corn
in the market, contracting for its delivery In
thirty days. The contractors, not thinking
that a s.corner' was forming, neglected to
buy corn with which to fulfil their contracts
until the month was nearly ended, and then,
to their surprise, found All alarming scarcity
in the market. The price began to rise as
the time of delivery approached, and the
contractors grew more alarmed at their
prospects, and bid still higher fol-. the guam
tlty needed. Before the hour OF filling the
contracts arrived, corn was held al $l.l5,
and many prominent dealers were ruined.
When the hour struck the price dropped to
9lI cents, aud the ''corner" was ended.
The President of the Board Of Trade was
the first to go under, with reported liabilities
for 3oO, 600 bushels of corn, or some $50,
600. Other commission men have been
dropping by the way since, and the aggrc-
gate loss and distress was very large. The
sharp and unscrupulous manipulators OF the
.scorner' made from 100000 70 $500, 900,
and MANY outside the s'ring" who were for
tunate enough to hold their grain and sell II
at the right time, also made handsome sums.
About 100000 are required to make a
sscorner' on wheat, and from one-half Ia
tbree-ouarters of q million on corn.
