notable, however. that some OF the stocks

when interest began to be manifested IN the
Southwesterns. The grangers. however after
the morning declines. averaging point. were
bid up well above last nignts close In the
late dealings. Good weather in the North

Bradstreets decrease OF 3.5OJ.OuO bushels in
European wheat stocks was the motive Tor

The industrial specaties and local traction
