Corn Too Wet to Shell And Elevators Are Closed.

The Rensselaer elevators have not been receiving corn for several days and will probably not receive any before Monday. They found the corn too wet to shell and to ship and too much time was required to prepare it for shipment and it was decided to temporarily refuse to accept any. The bushel price is quoted here for corn, while at Montieello the hundred weight price is quoted. Thus it occurred that the quotations in Montieello papers is 78 and 80 cents. Here 58 cents was quoted for 75 pounds.
