Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, March 30-John W. Gates
is advising the East to buy corn, and
the notice has made a great stir owing
TO the novelty of its manner New York
ers who venture occasionally in the grain
market are drifting out here to study
the situation at close range They ali
tell the same story. The Harris-Gates
house is openly advising the purchase OF
corn, and John w. Gates himself is show
ing more interest in the corn quotations
than in stock prices.
1t is known here that the house is long
about 10,000, ,000 bushels of corn, about half
the line for May and about half for July
There is no secret about the firms atti-
tude. 1t advises those who sit around
the Wall street office ito buy corn,' and
the same suggestion is given to those in
the Harris Gates Office here.
Corn Is the Main Topic.
The private wires which run all over
the West and Southwest relate the same
story. There is no telling what the
effect will be on the corn price The
result already has been TO fill up the
corn pit to overtiowing, to make corn
the uppermost topic with the SPECTATORS
here and in the East, and to advance
the price about cents within a week
Gates is the kind of man the West
likes to follow, and the ironmaster has
only to continue giving bull advice on
corn to have the whole West at his heels
The West feels very certain that Gates
money will be wagered as long as its
own. Corn moves when the West gets
into it.
his campaign in corn will pretty GER
tainly be an open fight for a higher price
on merit but it will have the help. Of
course, of unlimited capital and unques-
toned skill
Farm Reserve Is Small.
The corin proposition does not appear
bad one. The price is 10 cents lower
than three months ago If official sta
tistics are worth anything the farm re-
serve is the smallest on record. Corn is
worth more to put into cattle ard hogs
Than to ship to market, and prices West
are higher than at Chicago.
The price seems too high for the for
eigner. and he is apparently getting
along without corn. But corn sold last
August at almost &C cents. and last De
cemher at 694 cents. There is less corn
available now than there was then, and
if the pinch is to be felt at all it will
be in July. There are clever corn spec
ulators who have believed there would
be 60-cent corn at some time on this
crop, and they talked that before there
was suggestion of Gates or anybody
else for bull Ieader.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 30.-Upon

Well known citizen of this city, COM

His nearest known relative was a sis

son, Charles, who left home and who
has not been heard from for ten years,
was supposed to be dead, as no trace Of
him could be found. His father had
told MIN never to return.
Recently a letter was received from
flandreau purporting to be from Charles
Keegeon. He asked his father foT
money, saying he was i'll with both feet
frozen. so that amputation of several toes
was necessary. The letter has been
turned over to the administrator Of the
estate, John Greenfield, and if the writer
proves to be Charlie Keegeon a small
fortune awaits him in this city.
