Wheat prices, after active session, left an
irregular trail. but for all its snuosties the
tendency was plainly downward. December

pressure from shorts. who were surprised at

additional influences. including liberal primary
receipts and the closing OF three Touring mills
at Minneapolis, slumped to 1850. On profit
taking by shorts December rallied sharply to
7s&c. but the advance failed to find substantial
support and further liquidation sent the price
back TO 73sc. The decline brought some export
orders into the pit, New York reporting sixty
leads taken for the other side, and December
recovered TO 7sssG7slsc The close. however was

The roll of the challenger did not put in an

Republican who had called the original bet
proposed to put up $50 against $40. and
finally against $50, that the senator would
