Gates's Manipulation Resembles a
Corner and Shorts Are Be
ing Squeezed.
DAYS TO RUN.
Conditions May Change Materially
George III. Phillips Believes
That the Plungers Will
Strike a Snag.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. July 2-The gigantic deal in
the Chicago grain market in July corn that
is being manipulated by John W. Gates and
the Stock Exchange house Of Harris. Gates
& c Is the one factor of pronounced inter
est in Wal street. This deal has d%eleyoped
the characteristics Of 4 corner, and the
shorts are being badly squeezed. Already
the pgper profits of the Chicago coterie are
said to aggregate $4,000 or more, but the
deal has twenty-nine days TO run. and In
that length OF time conditions may change.
John W. Gates, who is in the city, was
not at his Office in Wall street to-day, but
WIS reported as managing operations from
the waldorf-Astoria- In his absence Mr..
Harris. senior partner Of the fir moi Harris,
Gates & Co. would not discuss the deal In
detail. He said that the entire operation
was being conducted from Chicago. He
also admitted that the firm took 2,5D.OO0
bushels of July corn yesterday. He declined
10 even estimate the big profits OF the
coterie.
weIl-posted grain men say that It is evil
IDENTIFY not the intention Of the Gates people
TO run a corner, because hey would not,
IN that event. let the matter become known
on the first day OF the ccauact month.
Their plan. IL was said. was to run up the
prices and force the commission men who
deal with the farmers direct TO let go their
contracts at rates that in many Instances
would force them TO the wall.
George II. Phillips, the Chicago operator
whose corner in corn" was a national top
ic of recent days. who is now operating on
the New York exchange: said to-day:
While the supply OF contract corn Is
short. there are millions of bushels OF corn
in the country. Harris, Gates a. Co. are long
about 100000 bushels of July. II they stay
long the 5.O0o.Oo0 bushels Of option corn
which can't be delivered to them may show
4 profit over the amount required 10 handle
the 100000 bushels of cash corn, but i am
OF the opinion that IL will not.
Where the ruin comes in manipulating
the gram market Is when the confronting In
terests run up the price, as Harris, Gates
& Co. did yesterday On the commission men
doing a legitimate business, buying from
the farmers direct.
Such a proceeding spells ruin for them
because they can't put up the big margins
required. they can't make good their de-
liveries and though i~nnocenJly short they
are squeezed to the wall"
