CHICAGO. Sept. 23.-Corn was panicky again
to-day, but the excitement did not reach the
pitch shown in the previous days trading. The
bulls succeeded in maintaining prices very close
to the top range. drop of &c in the price OF
cash corn during the middle session caused the
impression for short time that the bottom had
fallen out, but prices rose quickly again to near
ly the highest figures yet known. White Sep
tember delivery shows a decline of 4c as COM
pared with the latest figures yesterday. oeto-
Der and November were kept close to the highest
figures yet paid. Receipts of corn are now be-
ginning to arrive in great volume, and but very
few venture to assert that present prices viii
not be sustained to the close of the present
month at least. The latest figures of to-day
were: 75c bid, 7Sc asked September; 5SAc Oc-
tober; 47Hsc November; 40Mc year; SO &c May.
The figures Of the board of trade statistician
show an increase of $4,000 bushels of wheat
during the past week, but this did not exceed
expectations, and the wheat market ruled steady
and strong during nearly all the session, closing
fully Ac over yesterday. One cause assigned
for the better tone shown by the market IS the
gradual decline shown in receipts at primary or
receiving points; the closing figures were: nc
October; 7S2c November; sos 1s0Ac Decem-
Der. Oats declined A@%c, closing at 25Sc
September; 251sc October; $3.50 November.
Pork ruled quiet, closing at S16.75 October;
S11 95 year. Lard was frmer; S7.40 October;
81. .2O07.22K November. The Farmers Re-
view will publish the following based on very
exhaustive crop report: There has not been a
season in many years when SO much has de-
pended on the outcome of single crop as de-
pends this fall upon the issue OF the corn crop.
Therefore it Is far more satisfactory to state
H.
Obliged to record what might have been. There
is not such an area of corn to-day that frost
would not injure it. This rather sudden change
in the outlook of corn was brought about by the
intense heat in the early portion of September,
when the crop made daily and rapid strides
| toward maturity 1t is singular fact but none
the less true that corn matured this season in
Minnesota and Wisconsin before it did in Hi
nois Corn bins during last month have been
swept cleaner than usual, old corn being in great
demand and new corn not marketable. We find
the new crop with more than usually large con-
sumption and there is nothing in the situation to
indicate that there will be any glut of corn on
the market for some months at least. In facti
is only a few, with repleted stocks of old corn,
who assume that another crop must be grown
before corn will be drug.
