The grain markets have been specu-
lative, in a mild sense last week and
prices have undergone slight tluctua-
tions, but the rounding out shows a
falling off. This cannot last, unless all
the signs of the times are astray, at
least so far as wheat is concerned. The
wheat crop of the world is short, and
the surplus from past seasons must be
called upon, to exc out the supply.
This mnst bring an appreciation In
prices, and the clear-sighted are hold
ing on to their wheat. The drop of the
past few days was partly owing to the
development of an unexpected visible
supply, which was taken quick advan-
tage of by the hears.
