trade the future fdf the cash. In ad-
Alton to 100000 bushels reported as
sold at gulf ports for export. there
were additional large sales at the east
ern seaport ports. and Of the latter the
sales were withheld.
There was strong competition FOR
cash wheat. not only at Chicago. but
In other markets OF the country.
" when the fact is considered that
~eor&lgners continue to buy wheat in
large amounts. they must know
whether they are likely TO be able 10
ship the grain and because Of this
fact speculative buyers are being ad
vised to take the bull or long side
Of wheat.

and resting spots for the day showed
advances OF 11a1sc. The early decline
In prices was a signal for heavy buy
ing by shorts as well as longs. All

more too Big professionals sold early.

believed TO be acting for the British

county. He is solid and substan-
tial, honest and conscientious.
and the very important business
or valuing and assessing land
and personal property could be
entrusted to no safer person.
Mr.. Stump comes before the
voters in the campaign for the
first time. and he comes with a
record, both personal and politi-
cal. that is "clean as a hounds
tooth. He belongs to no fac
ton, but has supported every
Democratic nominee with all the
energy that was in him. He de-
clares that no man has any
strings upon his candidacy and
that he has made, and will make,
no promises to secure the nomi-
nation, except a promise to the
people that if ominated and
elected he will discharge the du-
ties of the office to the best of
his ability. And knowing Els
worth Stump as we do, the
Chronicle believes him.
