Whaat-Export business, since the close
OF the market yesterday, totaled 1856
600 bushels. Cash wheat premiums In
Chicago for export account were u cent
higher than yesterday. Cash premiums
In Kansas City was the best in ten days,
ordinary wheat selling Pc cents over
September Spring wheat receipts are
disappointing and premiums firm. All
country reports very slight offerings of
winter wheat and the receipts show de-
Ginning tendency. Cash and export
houses were buyers of futures on all the
easy places today, while speculative
houses with Eastern connections sold
strong spots. making erratic market.
We call the situation less depressed and
expect to see the cash and export in
terest In the market for sufficient guam
titles on the easy places TO give prices
more stamina in the near future. There
were predictions this would possibly af-
feet fax the most.
Coarse Grains-Tbe feature was the
pressure on September by longs, who
were liquidating and replacing with De
cemher. Country corn offerings fairly
liberal. The exports of corn 80 far this
season are 100000 bushels, against
100000 a year ago.
Provisions-With hogs 25650c higher
there was better demand IN the pit for
offerings, We expect TO see values hold
their own or even improve on the export
nnd domestic demand for products that
Is prevailing.

Aug. "a
The market was so similar to its i'm
mediate predecessors that il Is almost
idle to comment on it.
The volume Of business was small and
trading was restricted to a limited num-
Der of issues, while the same influences
that governed its action yesterday proved
the same impelling force today.
The net result was that certain in
duStral and motor shares subjected to
renewed pressure made new fractional
low records on the present reactionary
move.
Railway issues on the other hand con
tinued to show hEmneSS. but the response
70 administrative efforts at Washington
rejecting the success OF the proposed re
funding plan was somewhat disappoint-
Ing.
This. in a measure. emphasizes the
complete lack of interest being mani
tested by the public at large.
According to the present character or
trading, one does not have to so far to
account for the present irregularity IN
the market As a matter Of ract II Is
evident that the bulk of current business
originates in professional channels and
the position OF these interests is clearly
defined by their preference to sell Sc
curities whose stability is established
nv prevailing economic conditions.
Although Improvement Is noted IN
some trade circles and conservative OF
tfmism Is felt. il does not seem sufficient
to give impetus TO q forward movement
in securities

The reason for the change was
thus out ined by Michael Hughes,

Each shot carries nine rounds Of

I'm street fighting, also, the
chances Of hitting the innocent by
stander are greatly minimized by the
use of the shot gun, because the ef-
fective range is so short"

new use for the shotgun. During
