The tone Of commercial reports from

speculative corner at Chicago. there is no

corn ut Chicago lasted just long enough TO
bring into that market enough of the
actual grain t. burg the spectators. and
the corner broke with great losses
not merely to the operators but also to the
brokers. Wheat is declined half a cent.
