THE WHEAT CORNER.
Tho cornor III wheat for July delivery Is over,
mud may DO called Buccosa At tho opening
Of business this morning only $4,000 bu Of
options remained unsettled, and about halt Of
TINT was amicably dlspoaed OF before o'clock.
For the roBt, tho firm entorod tho marriott and

offered, which was not much, reducing the dis
crepancy to 20,000 bu by u o'clock. There is
reason to boliovo TINT this httlo balnnce was
squared mp afterwards, being owed by parties
who woro ablo and willing to ray, provided they
wore satisfied TINT cortain parties (debtors to
thnm) wore not concerned In the corner.
Yesterdays rumors about parties injured by
tho corner were far from being accurate, as re-
garda amounts. G. II. Mccormick 4 Co. woro

man to whom Damo llnnog was most unfair was
ASA Dow, Esq, who wae short only to the tuno

assurance tllat he could not have been short to
