"No one in Memphis is specializing in the

dangerous. Think of decline OF cents
today on wheaton, 1000 bushels-the small

of some 800. You can state that 50 far as
Memphis is concerned trading in wheat is
over for the present Even in Chicago all
the trading is done among the members Of
the board, the bulls and the bears. There is
no business from the outside and even the
brokers refuse TO fiji any orders unless a
small fortune was put up as a margin, so
great and sudden are the fluctuations of the
market. 1t has destroyed legitimate trading
and il is generally believed that the boom Is
also over"
