Failure of Wholesale jewelers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-A local paper says: The
wind-up OF the November corn deal would
seem TO prove the assertion that the Chicago
end is nothing but sideshow to the big corner
in New York. 1t is evident from the advance
in price in New York 10 81 TO- against rs cents in
Chicago that some persons in the former city
are having screw turned on them mercilessly.
1t was a very quiet but very strong corner,
shrewdly manipulated. One hundred thousand
bushels of November corn deaulted this after
noon at the end of the Board of Trade session.
F. J. Ryan Co. are dsfsulters 10 the extent
OF 10000 bushels by reason OF an injunction
Issued by Judge Tuley, restraining them from
filling an order of Harry B. Schloss. He con-
tracted to deliver November corn when the
price was 99l2 cents, but did not have the corn
in stock, and when it became necessary to pay
rs cents, he brought an injunction suit, on the
ground that q combination had been formed and
the price advanced to an unlawful figure The
corn was contracted to Lambson brothers, who
in turn sold. They expect to pay this shortage
and bring suit against Ryan & Co. 1t is
rumored that Bloom 81 Eggleston are among the
defaulters. The firms supposed to be in the
deal are Bartlett, Frazer & Co., C. NJ. Armstrong,
Andrews & Coster, and Martin, New York firm.
dispatch from New Work says: we'll
known grain operator asserts that there is no
manipulation; that the facts are that there has
been a sudden big demand for corn for export in
the last thirty days, and while the corner

corn In the Chicago market, when the price
broke corn shipped to New York was shipped
abroad. The remaining corn in Chicago fell
into the hands OF few buyers there, who
shipped 1t as fast AS possible to fill the New
England demand. In consequence it left the
Chicago market short. 1t was heavily oversold.
1t was just natural corner, and three or four
people who held corn made a combine.

to aid in determining whether the
latters wounds were caused by
pistol or rife bullet. Rifles are carried
by the Chilean police. The Chilean doctor
who attended kiggin, swears his death was
caused by revolver bullet. Notwithstanding
this. there is silent witness TO the contrary in
the hole made in the shirt and neektie of the Bal
timore sailor who was holding Riggiu In his arms
after Riggin stabbed. This hole was made
by rife bullet OF 4 caliber, and proves con-
