You can depend on the smooth, sure action of a Savage. It functions right.
 And accuracy-the most important thing in any rifle. You can't beat a Savage for deadly, lasting accuracy.
 And it's light-a Savage high-power doesn't carry an extra ounce-but it's proportioned and hung to hold as steady as rock.
 This perfect balance is always the same. For the Savage magazine is of the box type-full or empty-its bal ance is unchanged.

Among the reports which tended 10
enhance the value Of wheat was one.
that Germany had formally asked the
reparation commission to sanction a
proposal for. $70.000.000 food credit
based on preference over other claims
against Germany's resources. Notice.
was also taken of a bill introduced at.
Washington proposing to establish a
credit for Germany. In addition to.
such factors, ill-founded gossip was
current that the United States gov.

to wheat would make bullish show
ing, and there were Indications OF a
wet harvest in Argentine. Under these
circumstances offerings were light, De-.
cember in particular. and traders who
recently have been selling were the
chief buyers.
Highest prices of the day were rul-
ing in the wheat market at the close,
notwithstanding that the domestic Wis
ible supply total posted after trading
was nearly at an end showed an in
crease of 1851, 900 bushels as COM
pared with a week ago. Moreover.
the Canadian visible increased 1884,
900 bushels. On the other hand, it was
incorrectly anticipated that the final
wheat crop estimate from Washington
would be reduced from previous figures
for 1928. In fact, the estimate was
raised about 100000 bushels.
Favorable weather and liberal re-
ceipts eased the corn market, hut
wheat strength brought about rallies
later. Demand for oats was slack.
Provisions averaged a little higher
in line with hog values.
