May Option Touches 46 I-2
Cents in Chicago.
And Closes Two Cents Above the
Previous High Record.
PHILLIPS A BUYER.
Resists All Efforts to Hammer
Down Prices.
Announces His Readiness to
Take 100000 Bushels.

Chicago, April 22.-After a rest Of
fortnight, the speculative corn situation,
believed to be controlled by George II.
Phillips came into prominence again to-
day. The market for May was excited
ly bullish.
Corn for May delivery having opened
5zc to 15c higher at 44ssc to 447sc was bid
up to 4655c by frightened shorts. Phil
lips was a buyer on the advance Phil
lips announcement that he would take
over 100000 bushels Of corn in store
here on delivery day and the fact that
he is shipping corn east on a liberal
scale were at the bottom of the advance.
Bears have contracted to deliver to him
a line Of May corn estimated at between
five and seven million bushels but at
present the corn is not in sight. Whether
shorts will have to settle with him at
his own price for this purely speculative
quantity or viii be able to deliver the
actual goods to him during May is a
matter perplexing traders. Receipts to-
day were only 68 cars. and Of these but
eight We're of a quality which could be-
delivered on contracts. Offerings from
country cribs were said to be practical
ly nothing.
The market for some time has been
clinging close to A cents and at times
there have been indications that the bull
leader was eXerting every effort to hold
it down. Too high price it was calcu-
lated, might induce shippers to hold
back corn already loaded for shipment
and deliver it to him.
Heavy profit taking sales were made
at the top but the market reached only
to IS cents. Phillips and his following
supported the market. checking the de-
cline and causing a reaction to 1880 at
the close. This market showed an ad-
vance since Saturday of two cents. the
closing price was 1 to IL cents higher
than previous high record.
