important factor in the wheat situation
this seasonaBd it is because of their forcing
themselves prominently into notice again
this morn ing that the market for that
article improved. Exports for wheat and
-four. both coasts, were likewise a support
ing element at the start, but the hog matter
was much the more important. A con-

supplied by the stock yard firm which col

bushels per week being at present used
for that purpose. Ii this article is disap-
