Large Demand Caused BY Orders He'd
Back During War.


II. q. Dun Il Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: Business Is passing through
the difficulties that attend the winding up
Of war, which are generally greater than
those involved while war Is in progress.
The rush Of orders kept back while war
lasted by those who thought II shrcwd
not to take any chances has lifted prices
a little and caused larger demand for
the time than can continue, but though
1t has passed there is an evidence that
the consuming demand Is very large.
Wheat has come forward much more
freely, and the price has advanced cents.
1t Is supposed that the advance is largely
due to milling demand coming upon mar
row supply. Exports are largc-3.OCI.-
