cry when the proper time approaches
for filling these comparatively small
outstanding contracts and there's an
enu of the affair In SO far as we are
concerned, Thus, With characteristic
terseness does p, u. Armour define his
position In these closing days OF one Of
the biggest wheat deals that has
marked the history OF tho board OF
trade, Joseph Letter, his youthful OPP
ponent, Is rs calm and confident In his
Apressions as tho big provision man.

have purchased when the need OF tho
foreign market demands II, shall sell
at profit ara that's the closing chap

These statements coming frcm the
principals In the December wheat deal
have caused much comment In board OF
trade circles, Will Joseph Letter
make n profit on tho round 100000
bushels of real wheat which has been
placed In his hanos by the provision
man Is now tho question, Some MEM
bers OF the beard say that Letter has
secured 100000 bushels of the cereal.
Others place the figure rs high as 49,

admit that half tho letter amount "

asserts that jist rs much OF this will 60

realized on the policy held by her
against accidents. Miss De kalb said
that she ana Clemmer rode in n car
riage some distance behind the car

client, made the declaration that
Stein was murderer and that his
photograph appeared In the "rogues
gallery" He accused him OF having

to continue when Stein. pnle with
anger, ordered him to halt, There
was tremendous confusion, but John
son raised his voice and made most
Il, ne
