Corn WAS dul and steady at about the same
prices as on Friday, with much the sa1ne general
features. The chief demand vas for this months
delivery, including cash Lots, which have been
bought up rather eagerly, for two or three days
past IS fast as offered. The shipments Of the
past week have been liberal, and reduced our
stocks in store to not more than 700, 900 bu Of
all grades-a allowing for the admitted discrepancy
Of . little more than 100, 600 bu in the houses Of
Of No. 2 il much less than this; and
there are q few On the floor who
seemed afraid that the corn is being bought up
and shipped out for the purpose OF running a
corner toward the close OF this month. It may
be thought that corner at present prices would
be an absurdity. Perhaps so. It is certainly
good thing tor the farmers thst the corn is being
shipped out, and il those gentlemen who are
now buying will only keep on TIL they
have reduced the stock by another half
million bu, the result cannot but be prlce that
will enable the farmer to put few cents into his
pocket after paying for the hauling OF the gram
to the depot. Seller the month opened at 31@c,
advanced 10, and closed easier, at 3115@3199c;
