Corn Corner Ends In Loss For Harris Gates Partners
Chicago July 16 The July corn corner drew little action with shorts covering sparingly and prices varying between 63 4 and 4 to close near 4 cents. Fresh receipts of 453 cars on Chicago side tracks showed 185 contract grade and 171 cars of contract grade made in cleaning and drying houses, totaling around 50 000 bushels. The bull leaders avoided handling the bulk of 5 000 000 bushels cash corn as the deal ended. Market chatter cites a nominal early lead for the Gates syndicate but overall substantial potential losses from marketing the oversized position.
