Gates Faction Probably Still
Holds Corner on July Corn
Have Stopped Selling.

Chicago, July 16--EVerything was
uncertainty in the corn market today
In spite of the announcement yester-
day by the Gates New York clique that
as far as it was concerned support OF
the July produce was at an end, the
rank and file of the trade looked
askance at The market and expressed
the opinion that after all the July
deal might not be off Certain it is
that there is a large short line out
which it may be able TO cover without
more pyrotechnics- Interest centered
around the group Of steel magnates
that worked the corner and gossip DIFF
fered materially as TO whether the
crowd would have profits TO divide or
losses TO stand
The Daily News learned from trust
worthy sources today that $l5c.Joe, COO

glneered by Samuel G. Scotch Of the
Harris-Gates firm. The principal back
