wheat traders that the crop In that
state already at q disadvantage from

yield be greatly reduced as compared
with the usual amount. Tho secretary

would not be harvested this year and
that the condition of a great deal OF
other wheat in tho state was critical.

heavy tone coincident with call
moneys rise from 8 to 5h per cent.
Low grade motors, cheaper food spe-
cialties and the Chain Store group
were the special targets of the shorts
whose concerted attacks upon those
shares met with little opposition. Buy
ing OF rails was credited to group
of local traders, their bullish attitude
apparently being based on the better
showing recently made by many roads
