little demonstration in this market made
last week when David Bows bought about
5000. 900 bushels for May for the purpose
OF diveTting the attention OF corn shippers.
Owners of corn were all hurrying il for

he cleverly made diversion at Chicago.
He bought about 5000, 600 bushels and ad
vaneed the price of May wheat about lc q

Chicago deal has induced the Ohio, Indiana,
