CORN GOES UP AGAIN.
Excitement Continues on New
York and Chicago Exchanges.
Opening Advance In This Market Is
About One Cent.
Reports on the Crops Condition
Elate the Bulls.

1t was another day OF excitement > nd
turmoil at the Produce Exchange and
at the Chicago Board of Trade. The
corn market was the fighting ground
The gallery In the Produce Exchange
had full complement Of visitors. and
to them the scenes enacted around the
corn ring were comedy. while to
many Of the brokers and traders it was
tragedy.
Chicago was the most excited market
Of the two. although some Of the big
New York traders made themselves felt
by their heavy deals. The opening
prices here were about one cent higher,
September starting at g. cents and De-
cember, at IS b-S cents, but g. cents was
he ruling price on September for some
time, while December advanced nearly
one half cent from the opening, after
wards casing off to opening prices. May
opened at an advance of over one cent,
selling at 66 Ia cents, and then to IS SIS,
running off later to Sc cents.
News received from Chicago points to
continuation of the excitement in corn.
The bulls were elated by the receipt of
news that the Cincinnati Price Current
stated to-day that only limited relief to
me corn crop In drought districts has
heen had by rainfall. The average con-
dition has deteriorated, and 1t is doubt.
ful II the crop can exceed two-thirds OF
what 1t indicated a month ago, which
would mean a material reduction from
the output of last year. State crop re-
ports are bullish on corn.
