CHAPTER XIV.

George took off his dressing-gown
and put on a collar and tie, his fingers
shaking so that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his

the front stairs to the door. 1t was

irresolute moment then, he decided
that he needed no hat for the sort OF

Strong Recovery
On Export Buying
In Wheat Market
Purchases by Belgium and

er1rag by Shorts to Send
\ Prices Up About 8 Cents

Underlying sentiment in the wheat
market yesterday was more bullish
than for some time past and prices at
The close of the day showed gains of
to sac.
1t was not entirely plain whether the
upturn will prove more than natural
rally from the recent pronounced weak
ness, but there were certain factors
in the situation which served to give
the trade a more confident feeling and
lead to the belief in some quarters that
the low point has been touched, at least
on the present decline.
Advices from Chicago said that julius
Barnes, ex-president of the Wheat Cor
poration, who was in that city yester-
day, had said that he thought the ap-
prehersion that has prevailed in re-
gard to commodities and securities was
subsiding and that the worst was over.
1t was quite evident that the firmer
tone in the stock market and more
optimistic expressions regarding the
financial situation had pronounced
bearing on the market at large, while the
firmer tone to the market for sterling
exchange led to expectations of an en-
larged export business. AS q matter
of fact the export demand was more
active and sales were reported of about
a million bushels, principally Ameri-
can hard wheat at Gulf ports. Belgium
and Spain were said to be buyers.
In the local cash market No2 red
and No. 2 hard were quoted at $1.97
