 Speaker waxes only moderately en- thusiastic about Clevelands pitchers He expects Mails and Morton to come back next season and looks for Uhle to reach the heights. Bagby also may have a few victories In his system. But when all has been said and done, Iris declares, the Indians have only fighting chance.

Corn lost Is to Is a IA oats finished unchanged to 1-4c higher, and provisions unchanged to 20 cents up
 Fears for the safety of the winter crop especially in the southwest where snow falls were less general than had been supposed did a good deal to send the wheat market upward at first. Besides many traders showed correct judgment in anticipating announcement of a liberal de- crease of the United States visible supply The bonded stock of wheat in the United States also was much reduced On the oth- CT hand the fact that prices have recently had an almost continuous upward slant led t5 belief in some quarters that 6 re- action was due. This view was engphaSiz- ed by an apparent slowing up of demand on each new bulge. Under such circum- stances number of owners let go of their holdings, and caused the late break in prices. Supporting orders, however, were in evidence at the finish.
 Liberal receipts here weakened the corn market but declines were checked by knowledge that exporters were looking for advantageous opportunities to pur- chase. Snalness of farm supplies was a rsaeon given for the relative firmness of oats
