Coma renewal Of interest Of the
stock market and the recent rapidity
Of changes in corn have resulted in
restriction and reduced public inter-
est. A sharp bulge early resulted
from a little scattered buying and,
thereafter, the market sagged with
little trade either way. Closing prices
were at fair gains for all deliveries.
Foreign political condition are likely to
inject new life into the market in the
near future.
Oats-Were higher with corn, altho
they failed to show as much strength.
Arrivals and country offerings are light
and premiums well maintained. Re-
ceipts for the week are about the
same as those for the same period
last year, while shipments are slightly
less. Some new factor is needed to

the dispatch riders before him. One.
blushing, said the charge against him
was quite truc, adding:
But we could not help delay, sir.
for every time we go thru town we
each have been soundly kissed. 1t
would not do to tell the women and
