Chicago Corn Cornerers Themselves Cor
nered--The Clique Unable to Keep Up the
Game, After Pushing Up tho Price to One
Dollar n Bushel.
CHICAGO, June 1.-The May corn cor
ner collapsed yesterday, and resulted
disastrously to the manipulators. Cos
ter & Martin, who have been taking all
the cash corn put on the market fos
several weeks, and at the same time
squeezing the shor is in May, failed and
the price of May corn, which had been
put up as high as 81 during the IN orn-
ing, dropped rapidly until it reached
so cents. The assets and liabilities of
the firm are not yet known.
The elimination of the corner resulted
in an extraordinary scene on the board
of trade. A dollar bushel was the
price de manded by the clique that had
secured control of nearly the entire
supply available in this market. The
crowd of traders in the corn pit occu-
pied every inch of room and far eX-
ceeded the wheat crowd in dimensions,
to say nothing of lung power. Samuel
Adams and other clique brokers We're
necessarily bidding 81, while Baxter
and another set howled offers at 81. No
such amount of trading at 81 a bushel
for corn is remembered in the history of
the trade in Chicago. In 1884, on the
