in the hands OF professional room trad

There was general expectation that
the monthly crop estimate of the govern

May. This was a strengthening influence
on all the Changers. including the South
westerns. Atchisou and st. Paul were
the most prominent in the movement.
The reported need Of rain for the cotton
crop in certain sections seemed to have
no effect on the common carrying rail-
roads. Canadian Pacific suffered from

to Canadian account from the same
sources as the recent active manipulation
of the stock.
