Break on Market Open

CHICAGO. Feb. s.-yvheat values

values in Winnipeg and on free sell.
ing by commission houses. Export
buying at Buenos Aires has slack
ened somewhat. the market there
displaying an easier tone. Weak
ness at Liverpool was more or less
in sympathy with the decline in
American markets yesterday. There
were some stop orders uncovered
here on the way down. but the de
cline was checked somewhat when
a good class of buying appeared.
After opening lie to 3Ac off. with
May si.97 TO 1880 and July s1.e5h
to 1.6e. the wheat market sagged
a little more and then recovered
somewhat.
Short coverings and relnstating
Of recently sold out lines brought
about a substantial rally in wheat,
the belief being that the early break
had strengthened the technical posi-
lions. At tho finish wheat was skc
to 1Tc lower with May sl.97B 10

Grain and Stock
Opinions From
Brokerage Wire

Hornblower and Weeks We
would not neglect other departments
in the market especially Rails and
Coppers, but we would for the time
being give major attention TO oil
stocks. and we urge you to complete
accumulation II you have not al
ready done so. during the present
phase of movement. The sequence of
speculative movements would indi-
cate another trading reaction this
week in the industrial section of the
market.
]. S. Bache and company We
must reach the conclusion that many
issues are in the proceeds OF shift
ing to new and more diversified in
terests. Developments OF this sort
minimize the possibilities of a new
major advance from this level. at
least for the present. At this stage II
does no harm to be in a position
where advantage can be taken OF a
general recession in prices.
Block Maioney-It is a discrimina-
tive market and We would confine
operations mostly to issues with a
high rate of earnings.
Pynchon and company-It IS pos
sible that the high grade rails may
receive moro attention this week
and we suggest a conservative trad.
ing position on the conservative
good issues.
Grain Opinions.
HuIburd Wnrren-All grains look
too high and we expect a good break
all around.
Harris Winthrop-Untl there is a
narrow approach to actual scarcity.
we remain skeptical as to the exist
ing price levels.
Stein Alstrin-The break In wheat
hns strengthened the markets tech
Meal position. Outside interest is
growing in coarse grains.
Bartlett Frazier Advise conser.
vatism in trading in wheat. Under
lying conditions In coars grains are
not bullish.
jackson Brothers-We advise the
purchases on ssetbacks for a long
pull.

During the IL months from June,

Gladioli grow in abundance in

Umberhind at Riverton street, Au-
gusta. Tall and stately, they stand,
row after row, emboding their title,
"The Aristrocrat of the Outdoor
Flower" All hat is beautiful, all
that is exotic and that is gratifying
in flower raising find expression in
the lovely blossoms. The TIMBER
binds have fully 100000 bulbs, many
Of them most rare species.
And they do not go in for the ,ordi-
nary raising OF flowers becauseithe
pass long winter evenings in study
ing seed catalogues and in pouring
over books which inform them how to
best raise the flowers. And their
handiwork is self evident. A few
years ago they purchased some rare
bulbs and began gladioli raising, as
a pastime. The fascination of the
pastime now holds them and they
have two plots, one 60x25 and one
40xS0, filled with gladioli.
From the very first blossom that
peeps out, until the one on the tip
end is out, the gladioli will keep
fresh" said Mrs. Umberhind, as she

out, put into water and will keep on
blooming until every bud is open. To
