The corn question was sgain the all-abgorbing
topic on Change, and the most opposite 1umors
in regard to it we're circulated and believed It
was generally understood that the corn is out Of
condition in three other houses, the Hough Ele-
yator, the Union Elevator, and the Rock Island
A; and everybody seemed afraid to buy, OF hold
on that account. Many wished that those houses
should be posted, as that would restore con-
fdence in the receipts remaining, the only ones
which would then be regular. Some there

there is out OF condition, that strenuous

unload on to two or three heavy firms who have
bought the bulk Of the options for next month.
It is probable, however, thnt posting will be
avoided in two of those houses, because the pro-
p1ietors would rather suffer loss themselves than
allow posting. The propretors Of one can
point to an nnb1emished record In this respect,
they having expended many thousands of dollars
in former years to keep tue grain IN condition,
either by steaming and cooling, OR by shipping out
the bad grain before it had time to contaminate
the rest.

mined to buy up al tho receipts out against
