Chicago Grain Failures.

There was brief but decided panic in the grain
market Of Chicago on Tuesday. resulting from the
sudden collapse OF combination whose members
had been maintaining corner in oats for some
months, causing q mischievous blockade of the
whole grain business. The parties engaged in
bulliug the oat market had succeeded in keeping
this dsscipton of grain at nigh figure for Chicago
saV Il cents bushel, and held some 3,000.000
Bushels The news soon reached the farmers, who
improved the opportunity to get good prices by
shipping every pound that they could possibly
spare to agents in Chicago. In short time the ele-
vators were overcrowded and the freight depots
filled, but still the oats continued to arrive II is
said that the dealers who manipulated the corner
paid storage on empty warehouses in order to
keep other dealers from occupying them. and that
by their influence with certain railroads they pre-
vented the transportation OF large quantities OF
grain But in spite of ell their efforts the celpts
continued large, while the shipments were light
The banks refused to assist them with funds, and
on Tuesday the combination was completely
squslchsd. oats suddenly declining nine cents
bushel. while the parties engaged in the corner
went up" with corresponding rspidlty. The
sudden dissolution Of the oats corner brought dis
sstsr to another combination who were attempting
corner on wheat, all Of which afforded great
qualification to those who are interested in the
prosperity Of legitimate trade.

LONDON, June X.-The great strike of the
London building trade Is the result of twenty
years agitation, which began in 1863. In 1858
demand was made by the men for reduc-
tiOn Of the hours of labor from ten hours
day. In 1859 memorial, numer0usly signed,
was presented to the masters. short strug-
gle ensued, and the masters obtained the vic
tory. George Potter then appeared on the
scene to lead the men. He commenced the
agitation, was successful In the country towns,
and formed trades unions. Last year the en-
gineers all over the country rose. At New
castle, Sir William Armstrong; firm was the
special object Of attack. The masters fought
stubbornly, but the men cOnqured, and the
nine hours movement was conceded to engin-
eers everywhere. The carpenters and joners,
determined to follow their example, sent an
ultinstum to the London masters, and applied
the screw by withdrawing from two large
nrms The masters threatened q general
lockout" II the men did not return to their
work. The men refused. The masters pro-
posed arbitration, and nominated Lord Derby
and the Marquis of Salisbury. The men re-
fused, and there was q general lockout
last week, by which twenty thousand men
were thrown OutOf employment The mason:
and bricklayers were elected also
