Shorts Are Again Forced TO Bu,
Holdings of the Cleage
Crowd.

Covering by shorts was again the feature
OF the corn market yesterday. The belief
that brokers trading for Thomas A. Cleage
had practically cornered the Dec. option
strengthened into almost certainty as the
session wore on. True. Cleage and a few
other big traders took profits on every adj
vance. but they did not lie. go enough of
their holdings TO cause a recession and at
the close the shorts were still asking for
more. 1t was purely q speculative market,
with the longs in control.
