CORN CORNEREO.

Corn scared to 704 cents in Chicago,
Yesterday. This is the highest figure
at which corn has sold 10 that market
since John w. Gates, Daniel g. Reid,
and others, who comprised what was
known a. the "tin-plate crowd" at
tempted TO corner the market in 1902
Ia July of that year the price was
boosted to So cents, and the deal, while
apparently successful, ended 10 whole
sale court proceedings, because several
OF the big operators defaulted, asserting
that the market had been manipulated
to fictitious leyel.
"Big jim" Patten aud w. H. Bart
lett are the men behind the so-caled
"corn corner" They own practically
all the cash corn in Chicago, having
taken in and paid for nearly 1000, 900
bushels since May /, and many Of the
bears who have sold for delivery
that month are unable to fill th'ir con-
tracts.
The deal had It's inception in the
small crop raised last year and the un-
usually poor quality. BY refusing to
sell, the farmers are aiding the bulls in
an advance Of prices. Little corn is
coming forward from the country, and
Pattern and his associates are in posi-
lion to dictate prices.
Their holdings are said to amount to
4 900, 900 bushels, in actual deliverable
grain.
