WIPE CORN KING
OFF THE BOARD
George h Phillips Had Too
Much Rye and Fell

Chicago. January IA notice was
Trade today calling for the closing of
all open deals with George H. Phillips
the former Corn King"
A heavy call for extra margins is said
to be the cause OF the posting OF the
notices. The call was made yesterday
and Phillips and his staff worked all
night on the firms books. The trouble
is said to have been due on the 31a cents
break of rye yesterday. Phillips is cred
tied with holding line of 100000 bushels
of this cereal, mostly In May options.
The break yesterday was caused by a
sale of only $4,000 bushels. Phillips is
said to have on his books also from four
to five millions Of May wheat and about
three millions of May corn.
Tried to Sell Outside.
Phillips opened negotiations with ele-
vator men before the opening of the
board in an endeavor to dispose of his
rye outside the pit. The negotiations fell
through, and May rye. which closed yes
terday at 66Nc, opened with sales from
ol " w. hc WhOiC hiHipb iffiC was
dumped into the market. Brokers acting
for Armour & Co. however. bought nearly
all of it, and the market in consequence
rallied sharply to SIC.
The effect of the notice posted by Sec
retary Stone was instantaneous, the whole
list opening Off sharply. Wheat opened to
11hc lower, corn " to 1c down and oats

Of the closing of his deals. but members
of his stair stated that he was still in
good financial condition.
H. H. Hubert. Phillips office manager,
declared 1t was the suddennesss of the
call of the extra 10 per cent margins
which had embarrassed Mr. Phillips. He
stated that Phillips had traded but little
on his own account, the grain for the
most part belonging to customers.
Went After Him and Got Him.
Later Jacob Ringer, attorney for Mr..
Phillips, gave out a statement saying
that his client had been practically wiped
Off the financial slate. He is broke" said
Mr.. Ringer. Men whom he worsted In
former deals went after him and they
got him."
Mr.. Phillips gave out statement, in
part, as follows:
"Ine amount involved In my trouble of
today is about 100000. My customers had
their trades well margined and IL the
trades closed out today bring a fair price.

and 100000 corn and oats. Saturday a
member OF the board interested in back

extra margin of 10 per cent on rye This
naturally caused selling orders Monday
and the report of the member mentioned
finding the market bare OF orders forced
