He is occasionally paired by transfer

years from now, try for the Senate

may be- possible.

bearish statistics looked for on Sat

visible showing liberal increase. To
be added to this was late Argentine
cablegram claiming good rains were
needed. On the other hand exports
and primary movement favored buying
side. Buffalo is emphatic on point
that Canada cannot ship any more
wheat as vessels cannot be unloaded
and sellers must guarantee demurrage
charges as their wheat must be
shipped before the close of navigation.
This does away with the fears of
Canadian wheat coming to this coun-
try. even in bond. We believe prices
down to a figure at which purchases
can be made with confidence.
Corn made good showing despite
weakness in wheat. We consider this
cereal well worth more money than

Oats-After early weakness made
good showing on reports of Canadian
oats being now over American parity
We prefer the buying side on breaks
