There is more or less speculation
as to what will be the ruling price for
chittim next year. OF interest on the
subject Is the fact that a weIl-known
dealer in the bark in this vicinity has
received from Eastern brokers an Of
fer to contract for such purchases as
he may be able to make the coming
season. Offers to contract have not
been usual In the past, and this one is
taken as token that there will be at
least, activity 10 the market again.
Probably there is no dealer who will
be insane enough to make a contract
so far 10 advance.
