! 1t is something remarkable the way
wheat prices stay within SO narrow a
range this fall inspite Of the differing
reports as to yield. 1t looks as though
the dealers hardly know themselves
as to the crop result. The slightest
indications of raise brings sellers and
fall in price makes buyers. We don't
believe the Board of Trade people have
as yet really made up their minds as t.
whether we really have big crop o.
not. Anyhow cash wheat has all alon1
been at premium over futures and a,
long as that occurs there will be n,
oroaf fall in ,,r;oo 84af.
