THE CROP MARKETS

There has apparently been a change in
sentiment in the wheat market, as news
yesterday which ordinarily would have
brought about lower prices was disre-
garded. and the market scored net ad-
vance Of about &c, or about 2a.c to 27sc

Tuesday held over. bulls were less az

The findings of the Massachusetts COM
mission which Investigated the cold stor-
age Of food to learn its effect on the range
OF prices are rather interesting. IL was
found that the chief commodities kept in
cold storage. such as eggs. butter and
poultry. have shown a lower average
price Of butter and poultry in the last
decade than during the ten years pre-

not been developed. The amount Of
money invested in public cold storage
warehouses in Massachusetts was $1,000 81
