CORN FROM CHICAGO

Local Traders Take Precautions
Against Shipments of "Doc-
tored" Grain.

Considerable interest was aroused on the
Merchants Exchange yesterday by the cir
culatiOn of a report that large quantities
OF "doctored' corn had been shipped here
from Chicago for delivery on July contracts.
The story was so freely banded about that
Il had a temporary effect on trading in the
pit, and caused the value of the option TO
advance sharply.
Later the original statements were quail
ned 10 such an extent hat they lost force.

Morgan made the general announcement
that the rumcrs had been found to be with

This big Chicago combination is said TO be

The amount OF the shortage is believed to
be so large that the syndicate will have
great difficulty in getting enough grain Of
the proper grade to deliver here before the
end of July.
When II was learned recently that heavy
shipments OF corn were coming here from
Chicago, several of the st. Louis longs were
