BROOM CORN.

The price the latter part of last
week bounded up like rocket. Local
buyers in this locality were very con
seryative and did not excite the mar
ket here by fancy bids. There is very
little corn left in farmers hands in
this locality.
Mr.. Loewen, of St. Louis, was in
this locality last week and picked uE
few cars. He did not seem to be
awake to the real situation, or he
would have bought more.
We learn from the Arcola (lll.) Rec
ord that first-class corn is selling free
ly in that locality at 800 per ton
Henry Finch sold an option on his
corn at S110. The Record says the
great feature in strengthening the
price is the fact that the supply i;
practically out Of first hands and many
! factory men have no stock on hand:
Manufacturers are advancing the
price of brooms rapidly to meet the
new conditions.
The manufacturers met in ChlcaeC
the goth to try and arrange schedule
of prices consistent with the price OF
corn. The broom manufacturers ike
high-priced corn better than cheap,
but they like very well to have theiI
warerooms full when the advance
comes.
Broom corn will reach the highest
price this year it has for many years
