Chicago Produce.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-The September corn
corner ended with the usual whirl of excite
ment. The trading floor on change crowded
mainly with a disinterested lot of people, who
perched themselves on the sample tables and in
window recesses, to witness the elimination of
the great squeeze. AS a matter of fact there
was very little trading during the closing half
hour, and while McKenny, the chief broker for
the bull manipulators, offered to purchase fabu-
Ions amounts of corn at figures varying from S5c
to 9Oc and very few trades were made at these
figures. On the afternoon board just before
the close, brokers offered 81 for cash corn, but
it is not believed that this will be urged as set
ting prices. The medium figure for the day
was S00S5c, upon which basis shorts will prob
ably be compelled to settle. The other futures
attracted very little attention, and were gener-
ally weaker, but the latest quotations of the day
show but very little change when compared with
those of yesterday. October closing at 5o%c;
November at 4I1ic; year at s9Sc May at 1850.
Wheat ruled weak for brief period, when upon
announcement the visible supply disclosed an
increase of 100000 bushels, November selling
down to 76%c, but reaction occurred and the
closing prices on the afternoon board were ABOUT
the best of the day, and higher than the close
of yesterday.
