But Still Hope the Cincinnatians Will Come to Time. The October Corn Deal —Why the Grain Does Not (io Forward. On the Board of Trade yesterday the sus- pension of the brokers fur the Cincinnati artful dodgers was-the leading subject of conversation. The firm did notreceive their Jung-expected remittances from Cincinnati, but appeared to be quite confident that: they would ina short time. The delay caused a xeod deal of auxiety. The trades with the suspended house were closed up in accord- auce with their instructions. No oneseemed to know how big a sum of money is ijavolved in the losses, which are wrobably not so large ome estimates, but quite enough—probably $125,000. The grain markets advanced, and wheat subsequently weakened. ‘The corn deal is looming up on the horizon as the coming event. THE FIKM OF PRE IN & MHENRY Fave notice yesterday to: members of the board to close trades with them. Mr. Preston said last evening Usey fully expected to re- ceive the money from Cincinnati, and to pay the creditors: in full,and resume business. He thought the publicity of the trouble in Cincinnati had caused some delay in realiz- ing on securities, but expressed himself as quite confident that the firm’s customers there did not intend to repudiate their trade, and had not contemplated doing such a thing. We-was not prepared to state the magnitude of Une trade nor the losses, but the transactions and the August profits of the “tailers” had been vastly exaggerated trom the first,as would be shown in the end. The late trouble started the other day when the wheai market jumped up five. or sixeenis on the Call Board. Up to that tine the brokers were wuuply secured. Mr. Pres- ton said he felt very eful to the Board of Trade people for the sympathy expressed for his firm, and for the way prominent firms. had worked to steady the market and pre- Yeut a sharp rise while the wheat was doughe i a Mz.

Some veople think the New- orkers will only squeeze the shorts a little this month, Wen sliip the corn, and Jay their scheme fur cornering November. It-is_be- Jieved this would be Sater than to corner October. 2 It appears that a wrong impression has got- ten abroad in regard tu the position of MESSES. SEYMOUR, HUNT & CO. in the unsettled trades in August wheat. Mr. Hunt stated yesterday that the firm were en- oined by their customer, Mr. J. 1. Baker, of New York, from settling these trades, and ey had no alternative unless they paid out d closed the-deal on their own ‘The firm was enjoined from ying » which is all the real dain” amounts to, though the injunction Was issued for about $90,000, which included Margins then up.

The deliverics of grain and provisions were very heavy, but no confussion was re- ported in the offices, the only hitch being a little delay in_ getting checks, owing to the magnitude of the deliveries in one or wo instances.

They propose to charter vessels and line ware- houses, and ask the Board of ‘Trade to make receipts issued by them “regular?

The Favorite and Their Cost~The Rage for Flower Baskets, Probably very few persons have any idea how much money is spent during the social season in Chicago, or any other large city for that matter, in the way of floral decora- tiuu. The business has grown to large pro- portions during the last tive or six years, and if the statement of a well-known local florist is to be accepted without any discount, the average annual expenditure for flowers in Chicago is in the neighborhood of the very respectable sym. of $175,000. The social season is yet young, but the Chicago florists are confident, from indications furnished by their fall orders up to date, that the demand will be far in excess of that of last year. $ eople inarry and are given in Jong as funerals are conducted near an approach sible to the e horticultural show towers have their day and continue tb ad part in se of wo, there is little ill lose his custom, jonored member of ilk preach Mark’s Epis- avera Jong 2% ve to form’so impor happiness and in danger that the florist or cease tobe a hight: any community able to support him.
