OPEN IRREGULAR
Selling Develops in Wheat on
Foreign News,

BIZ United Financial
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Prices were
irregular at the opening Of the Board
of Trade today.
Fair selling in wheat developed as
a result of an irregular Liverpool
market and heavy offerings Of Argen-
tine wheat at concessionary prices.
Demand was slow. Reports from
over the wheat belt indicated the
snows were b%enehtting the winter
wheat crop.
A strong undertone was evident
in corn trading at the opening as the
result of heavy export buying yester-
day. Traders expected export buying
would be diverted here for some time
Cue to poor crop conditions in the
Argentine. Commission houses with
Eastern connections bought.
Oats were irregular. There was
some liquidation by longs.
Provisions were nominal.

of great irregularity in

the highest average price since Nov.
9, and coppers sold higher than they
have since Sept. 6. With such i'm
Aortant groups displaying b~uOyancy,
Z was hard to work up bearish n
ment regarding the position Of the gen
eral market and impressive buying
was again in evidence at the opening

Further proft-takng created more
ir~regularity in industrials in the'hrst

was taking place, special stocks dis
PLAYED buoyancy. Stromberg cpurted

Indeed, they do have boards
just like billy goat, but much
longer and thicker. Their boards
don't grow just under their chins
like Uncle Sans, but grow way
down on their chests as far as
the fat lump between their two
front legs"
I'm what other way are they
PECULIAR" persisted Bobby.
Well" said I. scratching my
head-for I was very tired and
even thinking fatigued me-" they
don't roam in flocks as you
would expect well-regulated and
well-brought-up. sheep to do.
They wander off by themselves
or perhaps in a group of two
or three"
should think they would
get very lonely, wouldn't you?"
we lay there resting lazily,
looking at the strange, wild and
beautiful landscape, relieved only
here and there by a rock. In
fact. there was a Tock-or what
we thought was a rock-very
near us.
Butt wasn't a rock at all!
Youh never guess what it was!
we didn't have the slightest
idea that 1t wasn't a rock like
the rest Of the rocks which were
scattered around Us.
Now I know you'll be as sur
prlsed as we were when 1 tell
you that as we started to get up,
the rock started to get up and
galloped off right In front of our
very eyes! And by it's side trotted
g. little rock!
L really don't mean rocks-I
mean to say that there running
orr and jumping down the hill
were a Barbary sheep and her
baby! And they had been lying
there all the time we were talk
ing about them.
It's a good thing you didn't
say anything unkind about them"
chuckled Bunny as we stood in
amazement watching the sheep as
they disappeared into the land
scape. For they were the same
color exactly.
Indeed it is" said I. IT never
saw such a perfect camouflage in
my life," I added.
YES" agreed Bunny, our wise
little rabbit friend, land the best
part of it is that that mother
knows it. That's the reason she
kept SO still. She knew she was
fooling us all the time"
