Absence of export demand operated

play many automatic stop-loss orders
to sell.
In connection with the increase Of
country offerings in the northwest,
bear leaders were inclined to dispute
assertions that excessive rains were

wheat. On the contrary. II was pointed
out that the bountiful moisture OF last
June had much to do with the album

when Count Cagliostro. the lion of Paris
society, gravely announced that on that

Now, there was no telegraph or tele-

the vast majority of courtiers merely
thought that Cagliostro had taken big
chances on bold guess. and they
shifted obviously. Then. early in De-

stood agape to note that the counts
