happenings at the exchange. Another
severe break in wheat featured the
speculative grain market, that COM

Little change occurred in the money
market yesterday, where call loans re-
newed at 8 per cent, which was also
the basis on which new loans We're
arranged. The demand for money was
not heavy. Not much change is
looked for in money next week. On
Tuesday the Treasury will withdraw

awaited with much interest. since it is
expected that they will show improve
