LEGISLATORS WOULD STOP ALL CORNERS NEW YORK. —The corner in wheat Is bringing out the usua? number of frenzied attempts on the part of phil anthropic legislators to obliterate all abuses by means of impossible laws, which have no possibility of passing until long after the inevitable laws of trade have themselves corrected the abuses, as they invariably do. The uses meanwhile of "comers''—if based on existing conditions—are to call world-wide attention to any real deficit in the product being corner ed, and by larger future production to avert a recurrence. —J, S.
