Cora was actiyo and strong at an advance Of
714c oycr that noted on Saturday, in spite Of re-
aeho to q bull " to try to think how thoy should
bo disposed Of. Corn was quoted strong in otlor
markets, principally in sympathy with tho Wost-
ern feeling which appears to gather strength
from both Eastern aud Western customers, tho
forinor chloiiy for cash lots, and the lattor for
options. Tho belief Is gaining ground that tho
onrront corn crop will be very far below tho aver
sgei and that corn must, therefore, ho rory
bids fair to provent an Important advance In
