FEARS OF A CORN SQUEEZE.

The Cudahys Accused OF Attempting q
Corner, but Deny It-A Feverish Day
All Around-wheat Braces Up-Pork
the Weakest Hog Product.
CHICAGo-It was feverish day in the
Chicago corn pit, with extraordinarily
heavy trading at times and sharp iuctua-
tions. During the morning all the markets
took plunge, but at the close the upturn
was strong. Compared with last night the
changes are curiously small. Wheat is 40
up. and corn &c. Pork, lard and ribs are
215c of.
The interest centered in corn. The Cudahy
Brothers are popularity supposed to possess
the bulk of the May article, and common re-
port has it that they are trying to squeeze
the shorts. John Cudahy emphatically
denies the report. This evening it was
bushels when the market was at its height
to-day. Initial trades were anywhere fromK@
&c above the initial quotations of yesterday.
the crowd buying on the continued bad
weather and poor grading, and the market
advanced Nc. Selling by parties supposed
to be '1ongn started the crowd to offering
freely, and under this pressure the price
worked down with various reactions 1Mc,
but rallied soon afterward l1sc, receded &c,
advanced &c. and at the close had gained
but N@5sc. Not car of contract was in the
ll6 loads that arrived today. One cause OF
the scarcity is said to be the creation this
year of the grade known as new No. 2.
Wheat closed strong under the influence of
purchases here of 800 coo bushels for ship
ment, principally hard spring, ct &c over
May. There was also n drop in lake freights
to lc on wheat and corn to Buffalo. The de-
moralization among vessel men led to pre-
dictions of a heavy Eastward movement Of
wheat from both Chicago and Duluth. The
cards early were weak cables, the reported
cold waves in the Northwest, heavy July
selling, assertions and contradictions con-
cerning the Russian ukase, ana BrGdstreets
reported decrease of i,04S,00O bushels in the
supply east of the Rockies.
In oats there was a liberal demand from
shorts and the market had the appearance
of being oversold.
Pork was again the weak sister Of "the
three greases." 1t had an early break of 30c
per barrel but recovered nearly all of it.
Trading was active during the whole of the
session. The opening was demure, but sud-
denly block after block of stop orders came
on the market, and it gave way. During the
latter half of the session q reaction set in on
the shorts buying.
The leading futures ranged follows, cor

Trade is slow, with no changes in the price
list. Eggs are 6rmer at Western centers,
and this is expected to bring higher mar
| kets here in the near future. Butter is not
so plenty as it has been the past few days,
but supply is sufficient for demand and mar
kets are barely steady. Poultry continues
in limited supply and is in active demand
at prices quoted. New garden stuff is in
fair request, but old stock is dull and slow.
In tropical fruit lines we note a slow mar
ket for lemons and oranges, with bananas
firm. Receipts of bananas have fallen of

a drug at the lowest price on record. Sales
of job lots of pure Ohio syrup are reported
This is 25 per cent lower than the average

THE MONEY MARKET.
No Special Deviation From tho Ordinary
Course of Trade.

Course of Trade.
The local money market yesterday was
barren OF new features, but there were signs
OF improvement. Counter business was
good, but the amount of paper presented
was far below the ability of the banks to
accommodate. Currency was abundant.
There was no change in the interest rate.
Clearfngs were s., $50, ,259 29and balances $780,
230 70.
The situation at other financial centers is
practically the same as here. A New York
authority says: "The leading feature OF the
money market is the declining tendency of
rates for time loans. On this class the sup
ply of funds has materially increased, and
lenders find much difficulty in placing any
considerable amounts even ut the present
low rates of 2H to per cent for one to three
months"

Fifty Dollars in Gold.

Our farmer friends should not overlook
the offer of $50 in gold made by Messrs.
Saur g. Balsley, ,as a prize to the person raising
the most bushels of corn from single acre
of ground. The offer is tempting. and now is
the time to prepare the ground and give the
seed good start, and every farmer in Hem
ry county who has corn land should become
competitors. The prize is not offered for
any profit or gain to Saur & Balsley, but is
advanced by these gentlemen with view of
ascertaining what Henry county farmers can
do upon a single acre of ground in the way
of raising corn. Look up the regulations
which will govern the contest, which may be
found in this impression, and then resolve
O become a competitor.

est Authors; Condensed for Busy people,"
1t Is not merely collection of choice ex-
tracts, and elegant quotations. 1t is Con-
densqtion-not a book of quotstions; not a
book of extracts, not pedautic criticism;
the reader ia given the whole story and
scheme of the author, long pages of descrip-
tive and dialogue being boiled into line,
the whole work compressed. 1t contains
full-page portraits of each author. printed
on plate paper, and concise biography of
each. Its III large royal octave pages cover
the whole range of literature from Homer's
Iliad 1900 years B. @. to Lew Wallacs's Ben
Hur of 1880 A. D., and coniures with such
names as Shakespeare, Dante, Milton, Ger
vantes, Pope. Byron, Hugo, Dumas, Dickens,
Carlyle, Hawthorne, Goethe, Thackeray, and
scores of others. 1t IS from the Complete Art
Printing works of the Matthews Northrup
Co., of Buffalo, N. Y, and that insures the
perfection of manufacture. We understand
that it is selling wonderfully where introduce
ed most people are willing to buy when
they get a great deal for little money, and
this book is cheap at $3.75. Its circulars
are certainly very fine, and from them we
infer that W. H. Herman i Co., of Napo-
leon, Ohio, are the general agents for this
field. We advise our local canvassers to
| look this up, for it certainly would sell we'll.
