A CORNER IN CORN.

No Doubt that a Big Corner Ii On, hut
WHO is Doing It?-aJim" Keene and
aO1d Hutch" Suspected of Having =
Hand in It.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.--The Post this af-
ternoon says: Many of the board Of
trade brokers are advising their custo-
mers to look out for September corn.
Somebody is making an unmistakable
effort to corner the market and big
deal is on. In the face of exceptional
weather and the best crop conditions
the market has gone steadily up during
the past three weeks. 1t started at
5015 cents, and opened to-day at oS
cents There is everything to Indicate
that the price will continue to rise, ana
the Chicago traders are ION. That
corner was in progress has been sus-
pected by the knowing ones for two
weeks past, but during the past few
days the evidence of the deal have
been so convincing that there Is no
longer any doubt about it, and now the
brokers are looking for the speculator
behind the market.
In New York the mischief is laid at
the door Of Jim Keene, and there are
those who accuse the venerable Ben
iamin Peters Hutchinson of backing
the deal The best authority ON
squeezes and corners says deal IN
September corn cannot be controlled
from New York. Furthermore, the in
dications point to Chicago man. L. u.
Armour, has reasons for making the
deal and the ready cash to back him.
Many of the board Of trade brokers
say Armour is actually manipulating a
corner in corn and that before Septem-
Der 80, the price will be beyond any
thing anticipated by the moss cautious.
But the knowing ones" again come III
and say they have their suspicious OF
the operator, but it is not the packer.
Aud there you are. This is the situa'
ton on change to-day"
