near holiday dullness, it will be in
order now for prices to settle back
to lower level again. In answer to
hundreds of inquiries, in regard to
discretionary orders we say frankly
that we prefer definite orders to
either buy or sell at stated price.
But discretionary orders relieve the
distant trader from giving his time
and personal attention and in such
cases we are glad to use our judg-
ment and experience in making such
operations profitable. Ten or more
traders at a country point acting
together. can send discretionary
order covering the interests OF all
in the name of one man or firm. 1t
is easy to see how fifty or one
hundred such local companies could
furnish orders which in the aggre-
gate, executed at the right time in
the market, would go far towards in
suring a profitable turn in prices.
We gave 1t as our judgment that
the unfavorable weather and the
light receipts of corn, backed by
bullish feeling among corn raisers
would probably force the May price
in this market close to Coo. Corn
sold for that month as best point
today at SO 1-4c. A sudden weaken
ing in wheat prices caused holders
who had been right on the advance
to sell very freely and this caused
the reaction of 1c in the corn market.
1T would seem that period OF
clear cold weather Is due. Iarg-
er corn receipts are predicted The
market has had several cents ad-
vance in a few days. We can see
how sellers will easily have the best

At just about the closing hour,
