Chicago Produce

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Eighty cent corn and 75c
wheat was the anomaly presented on change to-
day. Whether the relative values of these cere-
ais ever before presented such strange contrast
is not precisely known, but the present condition
of affairs is acknowledged to be very unusual.
Early in to-day's trading there was strenuous
effort made by the 'short interest to cover their
September sales, but there were no adequate
offerings until the very pinnacle OF high prices
was touched, SOC, and then there were offers to
settle. The market then dropped oil to 7Sc, rose
again to 79c and closed at that figure In the latest
dealings of the day The present high figures
has apparently killed all new speculation, very
few operators having courage to create any larger
short interests than now exists, even at these
maximum figures The extent of the deal, also,
appears to be not clearly understood, ncr Is 1t
known who the parties are now in control of the
market, but whoever they may be, they have
thus far demonstrated their ability to retain
complete control and name any figures they
chose for the near deliveries. Claim is made
that the short interest is still sufficiently large to
advance the price to 81 bushel if they desire to
do so. September corn opened at re, rose u
11c at time until soc was reached, when de-
cline of 1c occurred, which was the closing price
on the regular board and also at the afternoon
session.
