BAN OF COURT ON CORNER Judge of Illinois Tribunal Grants Injunc tion to fnTtnt Oati Deal SHORTS UNABLE TO DELIVER CEREAL Flrat Timet la History of Board of Trade that Dealers Who Aro Short Have Resorted to the Coarta. CHICAGO, July 80. The ban of tha courts Das been placed on the corner In July oats. On tha application of Walto. Thorburn It Co., ono of the firms heavily short In the July option, a temporary restraining order was granted by. Judge Chytraua In the su perior court,' prohibiting James A. Patten and associates from continuing a corner la new July oats and from bidding up the price of tha cereal or 'calling for further margins. This Is the first time In the history of , the Chicago Board of Trade that dealers who are ahort have resorted to the courts to assist them In a dilemma like the pres ent and the Injunction came aa a decided surprise, although drastic measure had been threatened to prevent heavy loss. The Injunction runs against Carrlngton, Patten A Co., Pattse Broa. A Bartlett, Frailer ft Co. Default on 8,000.000 bushels of short sew July oata, lawsuits and action by the Board of Trade are aeemlngly the Inevitable results of the granting of the restraining order. Cornered and unable to aecure new July oats wherewith to meet their con tracts, the dealers who aro short, appear to have practically thrown up their hands. "We have nothing left to do but to de fault," said one of the. unfortunates to day. "Thoae In control of the corner will not sell, but tell us to go Into' the pit aud buy. It we should do that the prices would go up Into tha clouds. A dollar a bushel could easily be exacted, as the receipts of standard new oata will not fill our con . tracts." Statement of Caso.

We hava decided to make a test and find out where the trade stand a. Frank P. Frailer of Bartlett, Frasler 41 Co. waa Inclined to treat lightly tha un precedented court action. He aald: There is an erroneous opinion current that Mr. Patten and myself, who each has a fair Una of July, have been bidding thi market up with the intention of squeezing the shorts. This Is not the case at all. The shone In every Instance of high prlcea hava themsel-'ea to blame for putting the Jirlce up. We are simply waiting for the I ell very of oata we have contracted for and we expect their delivery. Recourse to the cojrts to abrogate a bona fide contract Of this kind Is unheard of. It Is Impossible to forecast the effect of the Injunction. Three million bushels la aald to be tha shortage In July oats. The greateat part of thla amount waa aold.
