The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1878-11-20

A, Pittsburgh broker or speculator, or
both, announces through the Dispatch the
opening ofa corn pool" in that city, the
object being to buy an option on q large
lot Of corn at present prices, which, as set
forth in the announcement, are lower
than at any time since 1916, except on two
occasions, on each Of which there was q
speedy rebound. His announcement is
something of curiosity in its way, and
We accordingly reproduce it in the INTEL
LIdESoER, MS follows: e.
"In the Dtspatch OF last Thursday good
reasons were given why the price OF corn
will advance very soon. Since that date a
small appreciation in values has occurred,
but 1t it still so very low priced that pur.
chase made now will certainly double the
investment within thirty days. For the
sum OF $50, placed in q National bank in
this city, 5, 900 bushels Of shelled corn may
be controlled as absolutely by the investor,
as if in his own grainery. The under
signed has received orders within q few
daysfrom our best informed merchants for
the purchase OF 140,001 bushels Of corn:
Since 1915 corn has touched the present
low prices but twice, viz, in 1860 and 1872,
and each time it rebounded very quickly.
In order TO accommodate those who desire
to invest small sums the corn pool Is open,
in which Investments may be made as fol.
lows: One share, $500; half, 500; quar-
ter, $50; eighth, SIS. The profits arc di.
yided pro rdta. The immediate attention
OF those thinking Of an investment is re.
quested. Tomorrow may beN too late to
take advantage OF tho low price now ruling.
