Town Toplca: The market 1* temporarily
under the Influence of the unfavorable crop
new* that has been coming to band. Next
Friday’s government report will be received
with much Interest, but as prospects for
the winter wheat harvest depend to a large
extent on the weather during the uext
two weeks, It would l»e well not to go short
of stocks on the theory that there will be
no reparation of* the Injury done In the
wheat fields; Indeed, higher prices In the
stock market would be the Immediate re
sponse to better weather In the grain re
gions, and It would be wise. In our opln-

advance, waiting for a fair reaction before
