real situation the world over is probably the
same, pausing after an unusual advance to
determine how genuine the apparent bull
reasons have been and how far, il genuine,

The local bull leaders are supposed to be
holding on for higher prices. Cudahy has
been so right all the year in his speculative
ventures, calm confidence in his own 1udg-.
ment Is not to be wondered at. The stead
fastness of Linn and Cudahy in their wheat
views, the determination with which they
have supported them in the market and the
Indifference with which they have accepted
an advance sufficient to tempt almost all the
other holders, have been the interesting spec
ulative development OF this fall campaign.
Lesser bulls have sold out. Some of them

the foreign spectators have evidently con-
sidered their profits enough to accept. Cud-
ahy, Linn Baker and few others who saw
the situation ahead Of most men and who
bought long before it made itself felt on the
price, are still waiting for further advance.
