close, while at the low point of the
session prices were down 10A to 12X
cents from the high point Of the week
The trade took q bearish view Of
the statistical situation, owing to the
statement credited to the Department
of Agriculture that seed requirements
and the amount Of wheat fed on the
farms had not been included In Fri.
days figures of supplies.
Furthermore, there was an almost
total lack Of export demand. and pri-
vate cables from abroad indicated that
practically all Of the foreign coun-
tries had withdrawn from the mar
ket and would possibly be out for a
considerable period.
1t was announced that The British
Commission would again reduce the
Price Of wheat, while reports on the
financial situation in the Argentine
were considered bearish.
Some authorities were inclined to be-
!ieve that the fixing of the German
indemnity may help that country to
make purchases of raw materials in
America and that all kinds Of food
stuffs are badly needed.
Advices from Minneapolis indicated
that mills were buying a little more
wheat. which was thought to show
that the domestic -four trade is slowly
improving. The opinion prevailed,
however, that the market will continue
to need the support Of export demand
while this appears to be turning to
the southern hemisphere.

statement says;

follows;

The Republican party dealt frankly
and honestly with the voters of the
country by expressly asserting that
there Is no hope of early reduction
OF taxes. The Democratic platform
was not quite so frank for, although
mot promising reduction, the Demo-
Gratis did not admit the impossible

few votes by leaving the inference
that they might reduce the tax bur
