NEW YORK.
New York, Aug. 26.-The speculative
action in grain circles to-day was the
corn market. The ring was surrounded
from start to finish by large crowd of
brokers. most Of whom were bulls and
had buying orders which ran the total
days business up to $4,000 bushels.
A tip had been given out that corn
was good for big rise in the next few
weeks and the investment buying on this
and other influences was feature Of the
day. Many Of the biggest operators are
now interested in corn.
Al. IL.
ring there would not hold the crowd Of
traders which was trying to execute or
ders.
The country is interested in the pre-
dicted boom and bought freely to-day.
When wheat sold off in the afternoon
corn broke loose from its higher priced
and had little bulge ON it's
own hook. Crop news is Enthusiastically
gloomy. The frost season is near at
hand and from all accounts the grain is
so far behind its average growth at this
time Of the year that even with the most
favorable weather from now on it will
enter the danger period at disadvan-
tage.
