St Louis Morchants® First Experi- ence under the Squoczing Processs A Trifling Matter of Haif-a-Million Bushels and a Rise of Seven Cents. A Commiseration Meeting of the Shorts, and What Came of It. The Ulilmatam of the Blood-Thirsty Shylocks. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Br. Louis, Aug. 81.—8t. Louisis lLavingits first succossful coruor ihtorh. An offort was mado to got up o corner in oats Inat May, but it failod most ignominiously. Tholongs are squecz- ing tho shorts most unmercifully, snd the shorts aro squoaling and showing the white fosther in & most unmanly way. Tho amount of corn sbort will probably oxced 600,000 bushole, which would not bo thought ruch 1n Chicago, but is wofully romemborad by tho lame ducks lioro. The longs, to whom the prossure is principally due, aro 1. B. Carruthers & Co.,, and Nason, Bar- tholow & Co. They aro samd to bo assistod by Clint, Dutchor, Booth & Bons and John Carr ponter, It ls thought by soma that tlo latta- firm nre but slightly intorested. Kuowing ones asgort that tho real backbouo of tho wholo bull movemout _is n monay eapitalist namod Oziny ‘Burns, o Dircctor in tho Atlantic & Pacifio Raurond. THE HISTORY OF THE CORNER may be epitomized as_follows: Two weeks ago there was moro trading in corn than liad ever boforo beon known in 8t. Louis, Capt. Na- son, of the firm of Nason, Bartholow & Co., made = tour of inspection through the com region tributary to Bt Louis, and on coming backed lalked very confidently ahout a probable advanco in corn, . Ho claimod that corn wonld be scarce and higa, and offered to bet $50 that corn would be worth twico as much iu ono week as it then was—that is, 76 couts & bushol. A ring was immodiatoly formed of Nason's firm and some or all of tho other firms named, which commenced solling aud buy- iug at intorvals, but alwnys buying far alicad of their sales. About tho middle of last week it loaked out that they thought they had the * Quote Boys," a8 they called youngor dealors, They finally gave out that thoy had a corvor, and thoy wore guing to MAKX THE BUORTS PAY WELL FOR IT. Thore was somo malice in tho threat, for Car- rutyors and somo of his friends wero short a fow weoks ago, and had thomuolves beon squeezed, though not soriously. Last Friday tho wattor came to o sort of focus, aud corn ran up to 47 conts. Ono oporator sold soveral thousand bushols at that prico, Friday afternoon the mat- tor bogan to bo discussed on tho Open Board. Tho firat intimation thore was was s lotter from Elon G. Bmith to Wecsdalo, Harrison & Co., refusing to put up furthor mar- gius, saying that tho margin domandod wus oxcessivo, and threatening to foll bnok on Bac. 8 of the by-laws if pressed. It may be said hore that Elon G. Bmith is n. membor of tho Common Conncil, was latoly Acting-Mayor during the nbseuce of Mayor Brown, and signnl- ized s ad interim torm bg tesring up the rail- rondon Poplar stroot. Tho whole thing wan very gonerally discussod on 'Chango, sud nom- bers very gouerally made up their minds that any mon who woild plead what is called the baby sct in such an emergoncy, whonovor ho “undortook hercaftor to make any bids on the Call Board, should be hooted and called 8 baby, A man who deals in longs and shorts shouid have 118 EYE-TEETH OUT, to say the least, . Yentorday thore was n larger attondance st tho Call Board than there evor had beon batore. Usually not moro than fifty lookers-on are prodont, but on this occasion thore wore not loss {haw 000. Atl worte of peoplo wore there, who camo to the show as they would go to a_varioty porformance. Ozins Burns was among the look- ors-on, quiotly boasting now and then that they had tho boys whore tho bair was slort. The shorts were torror-strickon. Adams, of tho fim of McCormack, Adams & Armiugton, was in o veritable pauic. It was #aid that tho elborts who had purchased at 87 conts, instead of usiug thecorn they had to supply their eustomers, sold out ta othors for 50 cents or more. The firw last_mentioned sold 10,000 bushels for 46 cents. John Carpenter sold 56,000 bushels for 6@l cents. Herrick & Roberts sold for 50 conts or more. Bomo shorts settlod up with their creditors A LENIENT SCALPED. Capt. Curry, who bolieves in scalping on the humanitarian privciples, went round on 'Chiange and arranged for a mootivg of all inter- osted. Ho hoped that tho loogs would not bo too hard on the shorts, many of whom woro young and groon in tho ‘business. The bluflng and forcing at tho Called Board was dono by Tom Carruthors aud E. B. Evans, of the firm of Nason, Bartbolow & Co. Novor bad thero b&eu seen au excitement on 'Change oqual to this, MEETING OF BICK ON£S. Tho tumult quicted down & littlo, and sbout 3 o'clock the meoting was held in the Directors’ roome. About Eoventy-five persons —wero prescnt when it commenced, oll of Whom woro shorts. George Bain, formorly of Obioago, acted a8 Presidont. Ar. Bam mada somothiug of a speach on_taking tho chair, Ho axpressad tho Lope tha the diflioulty would bo -mettled amicably botwoon the *longs" and the “ghorts.” The way in which thoy woro manng- ing would, if it bocamo known, mako thom tho Iatighing stock of the business world, Buch o cornor as this, where not mot more thinn 500,000 bushels and G or 7 cents per bushol wore involved, would not croates ripplo in Chi- cago, whora 1,000,000 bushols of grain wero somotimes _short, and tho prico would bo rn conta a bushol. He hopod matters would be sottled in & manner satisfac- tory all, Ho thought if a man could not poy his ducs in this caso ho bad no business on 'Changa. Boys had no business to bo spoculating, Btill ho hopoed tuat the longs would mot drive the shorts to tho wall, but envo up o littlo aud lot thom go on. o trusted that no one would pload tho boy scr. that 1, Rulos 4 and 6 of Soo. 8. Mr. Boin expressed no opinion a8 to tho val- idity of this rule, becauso Lo Is mombor of the Committeo of Throo bofors whom tho wholo muttor will ho brought to-morrow, After Committeowan Bain, cumo poncemalcor and go-botween Curry, who hopod that the Tonga would not bleed iho juvonile shorts, aud liko scalping Bhylocks ~ exact tho last ound of thelr Hosh, He sald that, as ar e he himsclf was concorned, it made but vory littlo differonco, as ho had onl; a vory littlo ontstanding, and was willing an Tutordlod to pay fally ail losses, and did Dot in- tond to fall back upon the lmh{ act, a8 thoy cnlled it, and_was vory unwilling that his frionds should. Ho spoke in tho {utorest of his frionds, tho youny men especially, and Lio thought that'if tlio shorts would soitlo thoir contracts among thomsoelves a8 much s ‘pnm- Dlo, it would save thom to & corlain oxtont from having to sottlo diroctly with the comnor, and would at lenst lot somo of them out of tho mire into which they bad boen workod so decply. Aftor Curry bnd flnishod, Pat Flotcher stated that ho thought that 46 conts on corn and 42 cants on oty would boa fair sottlomont, but that ho did not think it would po houorable or right to plead the baby nct, Then Elon G. Smith read the rule, and maid the dircussion was all folly, Under this rnle the Call Bonrd was started, and by its decisious all must abide. 1t was framoed to permit such exactions ns thoy wore now suffering, All _the phorts sud tho middlo men, of which olass thero wore several now in the morting, had bought and sold with this undor- standing, and Jno. Flotcher, who olahius to ho o model man, wnd wae willing to shod his lust dru{n of blood in that interout, moved that 45 conls for corn and 80 confs for onts, bo considerod tho market value of thuse corents, o wag rulod ot of order, bocauso nalmu(; of that kind could bo made binding on doslors, who would nover agreo, Ouly two of tho mootina, I couplo of plucky young mon niméd Austin and Boymour, who had ‘settled up with tholr crad- itors, camo out boldly, and reproved tho spirit of thoso prasent. TILE BIYLOORS APPEATL. At Inst Tom Carruthors and Evana came stalk- ing In, . They bad boon all the aftornoon st their oflices, wnmng for dolinquont shorts, Ho at onco bogan to fire buckshot among the lame ducks. Ho enfd that ho would sottle on the basla of 60 conts, If thoy did not chooso to pay that on Monday, hie wouldmake thom pay 75cents, and he didn't know but that ho shonld squoeze thom ovon hardor, Tho rulos, ha snid, gavobim o right todo so.

Many othors spoke, Somo wildly offored thoir pound of flesh to the Shylocks. ™ Othors stated that their top-knots wore ready for tha scal: cra. There is no doubt thoe hot woather hadsomething to do with the diminished fortitude. TO-DAY'S BTORT.
