CORN, On one class of tha speculative fraternity the ovents of the past tvo days worked no little hard- rhip. During the winter months many of them had purchaxed large quantities of corn in the ear, far which they had paid casb, They boughtit when the prico waa low, and had 1t stored {n criba alung the lines of the great raliways mnning throngh the great corn-fields of Jowa and 1llinols, When the first (ocain of war was sounded, and values appreciated, they sald out this corn for May do- Hvery, and made a profit on thelr invest- ment. Since the deals were made prices have rap- lvll{ advanced, ang with each upward yolnt the holdors of the corn were called npon far additionat margina, in order to make the trades good. Yea- terday there was a good deal of scarrylng around to secura ruflicient toans of money to respond {0 the calls. 1na fow casea the money could not be had, and thae trades were sold out under tho rule. Thesa forced rales, Instead of affording a . profit, outalled a serivus loss. Corn "which had been sold for May at from 45 to 48 cents, and at thoso flzures gave @ profit of from 5 ta 10 cents, wan reitled yesterday in accordance with the incx- orablarule of the Boanl at & losa of from 12 to 156 cents. One plrl{ who had sold 75, 000 bushels for next months dellvery was called on for maryine. Jle managed to rake togother some £8,000 to keep his trade good, and & now industriaily praying that fortho wvexttwo weeks Lhe rdtc will® not fuctuats more than one-half cent per bushel. Should his orisons bs anawered hs will find him- sclf some $10,000 richer than he fa to-day, MARINE, FREIGIITS, CniicAno.—No chartors wore reportod on 'Change yesterday, There was too much speculation to Eivo timo to legitimato trafle.

Is the competition so great that the chartors that are misdo are taken betow Ilving nte-‘ and can vesscls compete with barge linrs?
