way she doomed up to day made lots of friends
for her, especially among the stifis, who sole

turn coming tried to catch on, aud of course
the stuff went. The deliveries we're next &
nothing in both wheat and corn, and If the
shorts in corn don't sweat blood under the
collar within two weeks am no good on
earth and better sell myself to some fertilIzing
company for (Tarking). The curb for May
corn is 74ssc.
Wheat is good purchase also, aud as there

Provisions are higher and with an upward
tendency, under good shipping demand.
