vance is something phenomenal III was
all due TO the fact that an old ana expert

q great deal OF monev selling wheat short
and has invested the whole or IL on tue

only about 500, 900 bushels OF contract oats

thing like three or four million ousheis
short for Nav delivery. Mr.. Hess is the
owner Of the 500, 900 bushels IN store ana
also owner Of the contracts the short sell
ers have made. He can Of course put MS
own price on the taree or four millions that
cannot be bought except from him. There
