The formation of an independent com

II was asserted that the Platten com

many other Interests that the . per cent.
bondholders have received "A good deal

obligations were put ahead OF the bond
holders claims and the right reserved
by the court to give the same superior

July wheat at Chicago was 4 cents .

Mills continued anxious for early sup

considerable buying of wheat during the

Premiums for high quality red and hard
