cations point to three left-handers on the Pelican corps this season.
 Manager Frank evidently expects to carry five pitchers. It must be borne in mind that the Southern Leagues playing limit this year IS hfteea zen ins.eao Mrann can carry five pitchers and still have room for a utility player if he wants to carry one.
 The i've pitchers who are most like ly to make good are Breitensteln, Hess, Fritz, Fruit and Bartley. The first three are left-h anders.
 It would be hard to find three left handlers anywhere who stack up bet ter than that trio. Breitenstein was the greatest southpaw of his time and Is still great minor league pitcher Hess has a national reputation, which he seems to have spoiled before leaving Cleveland. Charlie Fritz Is one of the most promising young southpaws to be found anywhere.
 It Is yet pretty hard to tell how the to left-handed batsmen.

were that the stock was to go to 80.
Longer range predictions figured next

Continued free movement of wheat at Mime
apolis and Duluth caused trade to hesitate in
following the advice and the demand dropped
off, resulting in recessions.
Prices huctuated comparatively narrow
range. a brisk demand for the cash grain in the
northwest and southwest helped TO hold firm
the price of options here. The range for the
day December was between SI14c and 947sc,
and final quotations were at 941a @G49sc.
