A No. 2 Wheat GARNER

The wheat corner is sustained by the
fact that the market Tor future delivery
is constantly advancing, owing to the adj.
vices as to the foreign demand. and
prices of November advanced on to-day
TO Sl.l6, and closed at that figure. The
corner IS being managed by Rott. Lind.
blom of the firm Of Llndblom & Schroe-
der. The capital is furnished by Van
Kirk q McXeogh, assisted by Chicago
and Eastern parties. The shorts include
the biggest men in the market, ameng

son, Angus Smith and others, who have
heretofore sold long and been considered
the kings on Change. The total con-
tracts on which the shorts are caught
cover nearly 100000 bushels, and they
will be compelled to ray a margin of 10
to II cents. The managers Of the corner
keep 1t good by shipments to the East,
which increase largely on the daily re.
ceipts. On last night four trains carrying
10000 bushels for New York left the
yards. The receipts for the past AZ
hours. covering Thanksgiving day, we're
30l $50 bushels, and the total shipments
were ll0.427 bushels. The increase OF
stock in store was l9l ,403 bushels. The
receipts for tomorrow are estimated at
100000 bushels. The strength of the
corner is sustained by the almost certain
ty that the receipts cannot be large
enough 70 break the combination. 1t is
noted thai the railroads are using every
possible effort to bring wheat forward,
from which it is inferred that some of
them are likely to be caught. 1t is not
believed that the managers Ct the corner
viii crowd the market above 81 30 FOR
No. 2. The most sagacious operators
think that the price Of No. will not 60
above $l.lS or SLID. The greatest ex.
citement is anticipated tomorrow and on

walls Of No. wheat from Chicago to.mor-
row, but the confidence of the corner is
undated, and they offered $l.l5 ga
to-day for November delivery.
