Consolidated Gas Is showing effects of the expected adverse decision to 80c gas.

The short side of this stoek. ever. Is quite dangerous, as past hi has proved.

We must get lown to a basis where living will be more economical. Everything has neon on a very high scale, and 1 think Uvo stock In par ticular must -sell lower. This will ulti mately reflect Itself to the consumer. The farmer Is tho fellow who. has been getting the high prices for bis product, and he will have- fo Are satisfied to sell them on a srv much lower basis. In my opinion.” Mall advices to receivers from Iowa and Illiuols grain dealers Indicate that the re cent decline lu prices and the resort to clearing house certificates has combined to moke -very small offerings of grain from the farmer. The latter Is In position to hold his grain, and thus far has preferred ’a so. A number gf receiving houses received,n6t a single nntlge of gralq consignments yesterday. * * Winnipeg’s weakness In wheat Is having inslderable effect not only on tho north west trade, hut here and In Europe as well. The decline shows that tho grain Is now pressing on the buyer; A short time since the conditions wero precisely the reverse. There Is such a large pro— tlon of low* grade wheat in the Cana* northwest that It Is likely to be a pretty effective price maker for aome time.
