Many leading stocks rallied point or
more today, but further declines took
place among less sea soned issues so that
the market presented an appearance or
.unevenness which seems to be true re-
Election of trading sentiment.
Covering Of shorts appeared to furnish
the main impulse to improvement, the
demand attaining sufficient proportions
in a number of issues, which have been
cOnspicuOusly weak Of late, to more than
offset the pressure of further Hquidating
sales.
At no time did the market give any
suggestion of buOyaucy. and despite the
more hopeful. feeling regarding the Euro
pean situation that found expression In
banking circles, it was evident that the
uncertainty as to what turn events In
Poland win take in the next few days
was still exerting a restraining influence
on trading.
Under present conditions we see moth
hing on which TO base the hope Of sus-
tafned Improvement.

Wheat-Foreign political situation was
practically the only excuse for higher
prices In wheat, as the cash market
failed to show any Strength. There was
said to be some export buying by Ger
many under cover, but In a general way,
the foreign business was slow. The ad-
vance in prices stimulated offerings sby
country dealers. This market has proba-
bly, had more than sufficient advance.
Corp--A dry map and the early polit-
ical news precipitated a rush Of buying
In the early corn market. Former hold
ers saw fit to accept profits and there
was a reversal of sentiment under rumors,
of possibility of negotiations between
England and Russia. In this market, as
In the wheat, the advance of 20 cents
from the recent low point increased
country offerings and practically killed
new demand from the east. Cash mar
ket was comparatively steady under light
receipts. 1t is true that movement from
the country is below daily requirements
and true that contract grades are at Il
premium over the September. but the
market seems to have discounted this
condition. The one remaining motive
for .gher prices Is the crop outlook. 1t
is not claimed that there has been any
material damage as yet, but there are In
creasing claims of the need OF good
soaking rains. There is nothing In the
way Of relief shown In the weather map
or the forecast. In case tomorrows map
shows continuation of this condition
there should be some frmness displayed
In the new crop delivery, namely, the De
cember.l
oats-The early strength IN corn was
impaired to oats but market encountered
considerable profit taking. In this mar
ker, as In the others, the new shipping
demand has been killed by the advance
In prices. Premiums for cash oats were
easier, lightweight sorts Of No. 3 whites
selling as low as cents over September.
We are~unable TO discover any reason
why this market should break away from
the leadership OF corn.
Provisions-A more favorable turn In
the political news Induced selling-Of the
provision list and poor support was dis
closed. Financial conditions at home
and abroaI>are again effective in shaD-
ing sentiutAnt. Lard Is affected by COM
petition OF compounds.

of the fleece. the shoulder wool,
should be exposed to the buyers view.
This is done by spreading the fleece
out, flesh side down on a clean floor,
folding the sides in until the fleece is
about IS or Is inches wide. and then
rolling the fleece forward from the
breech toward the shoulder, taking
care to fold the neck piece on top of
the shoulder wool just before the roll
is finished. After the fleece is spread
and before it is rolled up, all tags and
dung locks should be removed, be-
cause after the wool is packed they
are going to come in contact with
other parts of the fleece and often
stain them. This stain cannot be re-
moved. and makes the stained wool
less attractive and less valuable. The
tags and dung locks should be re-
moved and sold separately.
Paper Irvine is the most acceptable
for making fleece attractive. If it
cannot be secured, use wool Irvine or
a hard glazed twine and use only the
amount necessary to tie the fleeces
Binder Irvine should never be used as
its fibers get into the wool and can
not be separated from it. They will
not dye. but appear in the finished
cloth as undyed fibers. 1t does not
make the fleece attractive but instead
actually makes it unattractive. One
large commission house has a stand
ard dock of S cents per pound on all
wool tied with binder Irvine.
Pack Black Fleeces Separately.
Black fleeces should be packed
separately. but if this is not possible
put them in the top or bottom of
bag where they will touch as little
of the other wool as possible. The
black fibers become mixed with the
white and make the white wool less
attractive to prospective purchasers.
The black fibers must be sorted out
for if not, the white wool is liable to
be made up into white goods which
would contain black fibers and thus
have its valued lowered.
When the wool is sacked, pack it
firmly, for the sacks are then easier
