WALL ST. WATCHING .
THE CORN CORNER
lit Looks on Admiringly but Doubtfuly at the Rather
Risky Attempt to Corner Food Product Where the
Visible Supply Is Unknown Of the Failures Of
Other Years. s=&. @-@ ..*s

New York, July ~12.-Wall street takes
keen interest in the Chicago. corner In
corn. The street wonders whethe the
powerful and daring speculators who are
engineering this corner will ~be able to
repeat in corn their former successes In
stocks. yec The history =. of speculation
shows that, while 1T is possible to make
a profitable corner: In. a: stock, the total
Issue OF which Is known and registered,
it is quite another thing altogether to
engineer a profitable corner in q food
product, the supply of which cannot be
definitely determined. There has been
succession OF notable fiascos in grain and
cotton corners. James R.. Keene is re
garded as. an expert in Wall street ma
nipulation, but he slipped up badly in
corn corner. S. v White whose corner
in Lacka wanna stock is one of the famous
Incidents In Wall street history, was de-
ieated in corner in corn The Harper
wheat corner in 1887, the Hutchinson
wheat corner in 1888, the Coster-Martin
corner in 1892 and the Letter corner In
1898 were failures, though Hutch made
q success OF 1t at another time. John H.
1nman was for years leader in the cot
ton market, but he was one OF a dozen
spectators who have failed to corner cot
ton. 1t may be- that the present ma
nipulators in corn win succeed where so
many others have failed, but they are
embarked in so hazardous an enterprise
that Wall street looks on admiringly,.
but doubtfully. They have, it is believed,
the advantage of larger resources than
most of those who have preceded them.
But confronting them is the same condi-
tion that has wrecked other manipula-
tors Of corners in food products, namely,
the possibility of a larger visible supply
than they have calculated upon. Ninety
cents bushel for corn is certain to bring
out OF It's hiding place every bushel of the
cereal that has been kept back from mar

One of the results of Mr.. Morgan's

is that the German and American lines
are to work together, IL any third COM
