EXCITEMENT ON CHANGE IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. september o, II a. m--There has been
a high state OF excitement on Change again this
morn ng, which centerS Chiefly In the corn pit
The extraordinary prices at the close Of the trad
ing yesterday were fully Maintained in the early
transactions to-day, and the price OF october corn
was advanced from 5SA to 59sl, while cash and
figures have evidently caused great portion OF all
the corn in the country TO tend toward this mar
ket, as the arrivals to-day were nearly nine hum
dred cars with vast number of loaded cars re-
ported as side tracked near this city. The first
sales of cash corn were at 50 cents, but break
suddenly occurred and the price fell OF to e.
ing near approach TO panic In the pit and heav-
lily increased selling caused by the Impression that
the corner was broken. October fell OF to 500
but advanced to AZ soon after prices for cash
rose again TO IS and traders again showed more
caution. The belief holds on Change that the cor
ner In corn viii be maintained to the close OF the
present month and that the squeeze will extend
over into October No failures OF any kind have
been reported, although the shorts are compelled
to margin their deals TO the top figures Wheat has
shown weakness all the morning, owing to the
