Months ago Armour Grain company

Armour concern figured that the price
ranging from $1.o7 to $1.13, was too
high. Waterman considered that was
too low. At it has turned out the
price did not go very far either up or
down, but Waterman, by buying all
the wheat in sight, hoped to squeeze"
the Armour interests good and hard
