The feyerish excitement which ruled in

the bulls could get a word in odgeways

soon found their voices, however. When
tho bulls got through with the last bar
OF their opening chorus May wheat was
up 10 70 5-Sca Much miider weather and
a spread Of wet snow for large section OF
the winter wheat area was the chief cause
of the first decline Chicago received only

Though Influenced largely by wheat,
