Both Jones and Ream were protesting to-day their innocence of any connection with it. Jones and Ream are popular, and both are conneeted with very large and very profitable commission houses. [f they were running the corne and it catne out, it would greatly affect the incomes from that son Wihether the were running the corner or were not, it is natural that they should feel anxious about denying the reports, for in the one instance very serious injuries would be done their business, and in'the other not only very seri- ous injury, but also very cruel injustice.
