Some ofthe farmers in our State are buying this very kind of corn to-day and are giving mortgages on their crop to pay for it in November at the rate of one dollar and fifty cents per bushel. A man who will sell corn at such a heavy per cent will buy tho cheap est corn he can get, because no one but a man in a desperate strait will give such a ruinous rate, and they pile it on him.
