so the rest was easy. A few of the
leading commission houses had buy

close, four of those taking between
them about three million bushels In

end of the session. OF course, cur
iosity as to the source OF that buying
was at once aroused, and names OF all
the big operators that have been
known in the whsat market for several
years were current in the gossip OF
the floor. May wheat advanced 1 cent

HAND ORGAN TRUST HOUNDS HIM
"SmaI Dealer" Complains He's Being

A fierce struggle for supremacy in the

The scene of operations is between
Thirty-frst and Sixty-third streets and

Heretofore all barrel organs used in this
district were rented to individuals by the

The mandate went out from the trust
that Rocco must be made TO leave the
territory and he was told in no simple

Later, he says, threats were made. but
he continued to make his rounds, followed

the crop will show deterioration, and that
the season is about ten days late. The
returns on Georgia are now awaited with
much interest for It Is on the South At
lantic states thai shorts are relying so
much for a probable Improvement in that
section to Offset any possible deterioration
in the central and western portions Of the
cotton belt: the trade. however, has made
up its mind that the crop will be large

which are usually forgotten when 1t
