BREAK IN PRICE OF CORN.
EXCITEMENT AT THE PRODUCE En-
CHANGE-RALLY IN RAILROAD
STOCKS TOWARD THE
CLOSE.

A break in the price of corn at the Produce
Exchange yesterday followed by rally in
the price of railroad stocks, showing how closely
the brokers and investors figure on the effect of
a shortage in the crop on the earnings OF the
railroads There excitement over the
corn crop yesterday than had been seen at the
exchanges on previous days of the week. Sem
sational changes in the price of corn were re-
corded at the Produce Exchange early in the
day. July corn, which sold at 56A cents a
bushel on Friday, went down to 53ss cents. Sep
tember corn declined from 56Ss cents at the
opening of the market in the morning. to 53a
cents at noon when the market closed. Septem-
ber wheat declined from 1885 cents to 725s cents
The bulls in the market were demorazed
by an unloading movement which started in
Chicago and some of them dumped huge blocks
of corn at any price offered. apparently fearful
of general slump In prices. 1t apparent
that the brokers believed that the reports of
damage by the drouth in the corn belt had been
exaggerated or that there reason to expect
rain in the corn belt Immediately. Reports from
Chicago were to the effect that there were enor-
nous sales of corn at reduced prices in the
morning, the selling price going as low there as
4912 cents. The reports caused prices of corn at
the Produce Exchange to wilt more rapidly than
tender cornstalks known to wilt
der the scorching rays of the sun in a drouth
scanned eagerly by the brokers. The reports
said the weather In those districts dry and
hot. and there seemed to be hope for imme-
diate relief for the parched crops. Many of the
brokers professed that they could not under
stand the declining prices in the face OF such
unfavorable reports.
In the last half hour of the grain market there
was a little reaction in both and wheat,
but the prices went up only fraction of a cent
1t seemed to be the opinion that many OF the
bulls at the Produce Exchange had suffered
severe losses.
Brokers at the Stock Exchange yesterday
morning kept close watch on the changes in
the price of corn and seemed to get the impress
sion that the corn crop was TO be larger than
ports mad indicated II would be. Then II was
said that past experiences would not justify too
great scare over the corn supply. 1t was said
that in 1890. when the crop ran about
6OO,000,000 bushels behind the crop of the pre-
Vious year there was so large old supply of
stored corn on hand that the shortage of the
crop made little difference with the railway
earnings. Reasoning after that fashion, the
brokers began to put up the price of some of
the railroad stocks that had declined several
points earlier in the week. There was no par
ticnlar excitement at the Stock Exchange, as
the prices advanced few points but the chanre
of prices was regarded as significant
