of sI,5OO,OOo.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The famous
John w. Gates corner in July corn
came to an abrupt termination when
h became known that shorts to the
eKtent of good many million bushels
had effected private settlements with
Harris, Gates x Co. and that the deal
was at an end so far as the steel mag
nate was concerned. The July price
responded to the settlement by quick
drop OF 15% cents, to 6I5H cents. Later
Il recovered fraction and closed at
e61a cents, substantially the price of
the cash article.
Just how many bushels were subject

never be known, nor is there much
chance that the identity of the big

contributed llbeally to the fortunes
of Mr. Gates and the friends associ-
ated with him in the deal. will ever be
positively known. Mr.. Gates is at
present in New York. and Mr.. Scotch,
manager for the Harris Gates house.
would admit only the fact of settle
ment by the outstanding shorts.
Manager Scotch would not discuss
the settlement price. This price, how
ever, was not a matter Of decided in
terest to the trade generally. With
the knowledge that Monday nights
closing price was 81 cents and the
opening yesterday from 20 to so cents
the consensus of opinion among the
outsiders was that Mr.. Gates had de-
manded either so or 81 cents from the
