 that. generally speaking, a settlem ent had been made with the Patten crowd for the greater part of the May delive- ries, and for several days prices have been inclined to drag and the market has been easy. The opening today was weak and the price of May corn drop ped to 73 1-2. There was little corn to be had however. and when a few buying orders had revealed the scar city. the market started up. By noon 1t had advanced 5-Sc., and then 1t commenced to rise with great rapid ity.
 The scene in the corn pit was one of the most exciting that has been witnessed for several years. Frantic brokers yelled themselves hoarse. hut there was no corn to be had. The price of May advanced 7s "a. where 1t closed 5 cents above the low point of the day and 1 Is cents higher than last night.
 James A. Patten appeared on the Board of Trade floor during the excite ment, but disclaimed all knowledge of what had caused the rise. He said:
 All this talk of a corner Is non- sense. but I think corn will sell much higher than it is now. 1 just bought a lot of cash corn at the May price, and then turned around and sold 1t to a shipper in Buffalo for the same money that 1t cost me.
