! Inls has been a week OF record breaking.
! In wheat, in silver. in some forms OF iron
| and steel in Conneiisviiie coke. and In
| weE-kpcwn cotton and wCoien goods the
! lowest prices ever known have been made,

! discussion Of revenue and mon etary meas
| ures and the uncertainty regarding them
| have q cOnst ant unfavorab!c influence, and
! Indifferent markets have caused sudden
fluctuations in prices. Wheat at 604 cents
| is not only lower by Al cents than It was

1.olaol5 last year. and the recent decrease
! In foreign demand has been an important
! factor. Some trust companies have ar
