Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 May 1908 — Corn Goes to 79 Cents. [ARTICLE]

Corn Goes to 79 Cents.

May corn shot up 3 cents at Chicago Tuesday reaching 79 cents, a price exceeded by the yellow cereal only twice in the history of the grain trade, and shorts -were routed. The price was the result of a bull movement headed, so it is Mid, by James A. Patten, who is credited with having shouldered the largest load of cash grain on delivery ever taken by one man.
