A well-known local wheat dealer who
was interviewed bv an East Oreannian re'
porter as to the condition of the wheat
market, said: "Wheat is dull and in
active, and remains at the same old
figures. One reason for this lies in the
fact that speculators in the product are
holding aloof and refuse to invest heaV'
ily. As the saying goes, they have been
'bit' in their transactions during the
oust vear or so. and as the hurnt child
dreads the fire so do they dread to again
overload themselves with wheat. Heavy
exports from Russia to Kngland also
have a depressing tendency. Many
argue, however, that when Russia's
surplus is exhausted, the home market
will be strengthened."

eral aspect of things, and the "feeling
in our bones," all go to make men feel
hopeful and even confident.

sleigh last hrulav. but its career was
