CORNTAKESJUMP
GOE8 FOUR AND A THIRD CENTS
OVER FORMER FIGURES.
SEPT. CLOSES AT FIFTY-SEVEN
Aacenda Excitedly, but Appears to Be
Standing Firm Shorts In Peck ol
Trouble Attempts to Cover Sep-
- tember Contracts Fnil.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22. Shorts in the
corn pit wero squeezed badly today
and raised a tumult that closely re
sembled tho recent scrimmages when
John W. Gates and his cllquo had July
corn cornered.
Tho action In tho pit today was
largely tho result of tho earlier manip
ulations. When tho Gates crowd was
pushing prices skyward tho farmer
took u hand In tho business by sweep
ing his bins clean of corn and flood
ing this market with millions of bush
els, Ah n result, the corner collapsed
and prices fell headlong until Septom
bor corn recently sold at 50 cents,
From rampant bulls, the crowd had
turned bears to a man and sold short
many bushels. Now, tho corn to fill
September contracts is not in Bight
Tho bad weather has retarded tho ma
turing of corn crops until thero has
been talk that crops may not bo har
vested until hurt by frosts. Under
such conditions shorts want to cover
their contract but holdors of tho grain
are loth to sell.
At the opening ot trade everybody
turned bulls. English markets were
advancing strongly. Cosh stuff was
leaving this market at a good prem
ium over September options. Stocks
of contract corn on hand were rapidly
diminishing. There seemed no relief
for tho Bhorts other than getting stuff
In tho pit at tho best figure. As a re
sult almost 5 cents was added to the
price during the morning. September
Btarted to 1 cents higher than
yesterday's closing prlco at 63 to 54
cents and In leaps and jumps rose to
57 cents.
Excitement continued throughout
tho session. Tho old bull crowd was
buying and tho shorts had little or
nothing offered to help them out In
their plight. Bears tried to comfort
each other with the talk that thero are
2,500,000,000 bushels of corn slowly rip
ening In the fields ono of tho biggest
yields in hlBtory but this had no In
fluence. At top prices some of the
longs let go in drib lots for profits
and prices sided a little. September,
however, closed strong and excited,
4Vb cents higher than yesterday at 57
cents.
Other markets on 'change responded
tq the flurry In corn. Wheat had n
good bulge, September Belling as high
as 72 cents and 71 cents. Septem
ber oats sold at 34 cents and closed
1 cent to 1 cents higher at 34 to
34 cents. September provisions felt
the corn strength materially. Hogs
were higher on the prospect of higher
fodder prices and September pork
closed 70 cents higher at $IG.85, Sep
tember lard 40 cents up at $10.97 and
September ribs 22 couts higher at
$10.12.

SCHOOL LAND LEASE CONTRACTS
Holders Are Anxious to Obtain Full
Possession.
LINCOLN, Nob., Aug. 26. Recent
comment regarding tho applications
.'or tho transformation of Icaso con
tacts on school land into sale con
tracts haB had tho effect of greatly
increasing tho correspondence of tho
land commissioner's office, for Icaso
Holders all over tho stato are anxious
to obtain full possession and owner
ship of their land.
Under tho law which remained on
tho statute books of Uio stato from
1879 till 1807 a lease holder was en
titled to purchase tho land ho occu
pied, provided ho fulfilled nil tho ob
ligations of tho contract and would
pay tho Btate tho full appraised valuo
of tho land. Tho leglslaturo ot 1897
repealed this law. Former Land
Commissioner Wolfo held that tho re
peal ot tho law invalidated tho con
tracts, and therefore ho rejected nil
applications for tho purchase of land.
Mr. Follmor regrets that ho 1b forced
to tako a different stand, for he
would prefer to havo tho stato keep
all of tho school land, but ho recog
nizes tho fact that tho contracts on
lored into by tho stato under the old
law cannot 13o repudiated. Holders of
leases given prior to 1879 havo also
asked to buy their rented land, but
all of their applications nave by. both
commissioners been rejected, for tho
law under w,h!ch their lease contracts
wore given mado no provision by
which they could buy tho land, as
waB expressly provided in the subse
quent net
Any person desiring to purchase
land under a lease contract given be
tween 1879 and 1897 must pay all ex
pauses ot appraisement, review or ro
appraisement, and they must bo will
ing to pay tho full market valuo of
tho land. This will bo determined by
tho value of land in tho immedtato
vicinity. If land in tho neighborhood
1b worth $25 per aero on tho market,
tho leoso holder must pay that
amount or clso bo satisfied with his
lease contract.
It is estimated that thero aro up
ward of 1,000 000 acres of land now
occupied under leases given between
tho years 1879 and 1897.
