The suggestion made by friends OF

Taylor the man. but of Til Taylor the
ideal peace officer of the Western
country.

said, "and he could well be chosen as
the model after which all peace Off

rive, the first sign of better feeliRg
in some time. The official announce
ment that exports of wheat from Ar
gentine would be prohibited after to-
day also had a tendency to assuage
bearish sentiment Notwithstanding
that it was really old news.
Spot prices were cents lower and
10 to Is cents lower in Minneapolis
Export demand unimportant and in
terests i'm close touch with the situa-
ton do not expect the British commis-
SION to resume buying until towards
the end of this week. Receipts We're
the largest so far this season but coun-
try offerings said to be somewhat
lighter. 1t would seem as though
market should show some further re-
coVery pending developments.
Corn-P~essure at the start was re-
spcnsible for lower opening, but
market encountered more resistance
and closed strong at the high point
of the day. There was evidence from
time to time that leading shorts were
inclined to reduce commitments for a
while at which time the selling had
the appearance of being in the nature
OF Delatcd liquidation. Cash market
started strong but sagged later and
failed to respond to upturn in futures.
Weather. over Sunday could hardly be
construed as favorable. in as much as
the needed rains in Illinois failed to
n'ateriali2e and temperatures over the
belt were too low for proper growth
TO enable the crop to overtake the late
start In view of the fact the long
interest at the moment is more con-
centrated than the short interest. we
think the advance will extend further.
Outs Trade was narrow and fol-
lowed the action of corn almost ex-
clasiveIy. Weather and crop condi-
tious were favorable except for some
complaints Of deterioration IN North
western Canada due to hot and dry
weather.
Receipts are more than adequate as
the cash demHEd is poor, spots today
were unchanged to three cents lower
with light weight oats rather hard TO
sell. The pressure of new crop offer
ings remains the paramount factor but
the market has now declined to a
point where it viii probably be adj
visable to confme short sales TO the
bulecS.
