Big Corner in Peanuts.

It was announced at New York Friday that a firm in Hoboken, N. J., had cornered the peanut market, having purchased all the nuts in Chicago, Boston and New York markets, a* well as having secured this week 125 carloads from Norfolk, Va. There was an advance in price of from 70 to 80 cents a bushel lately and a member of the firm says this is due to the corner, and expresses his opinion that it will go still higher.
