CHICAGO. September l2.-After so

mas commenced TO take stock in the
many reports Of damaged wheat in the
southwest. Millers and exporters al
ready have made large purchases of
spring wheat. both in our own North
west and In Canada. which will be

and by exporters for shipment abroad
several larger concerns in Chicago
which have sold wheat to eXportiny
countries for September and october
delivery. have made purchases OF spring
wheat both sides of the international
line. and this grain will be shipped as
rapidly as it can be prepared
IL is not the idea to attempt to con-
