of Kib er Brothers, while Mr.. Glover
closed out what he had left of 3d.
900 bushel crop, being about 5000
bushels.
In speaking of market conditions
this morning Mr.. Cox said there was
approximately a million dollars worth
of wheat stored in this country that
should be sold in the coming few
weeks, in order that the money might
be secured and spring activities start
ed With so great an investment
represented in the 1909 crop which is
in storage, the financial institutions
are deprived of those heavy deposits
which make for a feeling of great
prosperity, and commission men are
endeavoring to move the crop at the
earliest possible moment.
