' ' , - ' 'u -; ' : - Yours respectfully, Savings Bank Corner Front and Chestnut Streets. (By Joseph F. Pritchard.) .Chicago, Dec. 30. A terrible drub bing was administered to" the wheat shorts on the board of trade today. They suffered heavy losses because of .their stubbornness coupled with the hope that something unforeseen would develop in the situation that would help them out of their posi tion. They hoped' that a further sharp decline in values would be es tablished today so that they could go into the pit- and take out some cheap wheat.' In this they were greatly disappointed, as the strength to. develop was sudden and quite pro nounced. , December shorts liquidated soon after the opening that they would' be obliged to pay much higher prices for that future and as this was he last day on which they could even up their position they were forced to bid as high as $1.68, which was 7c above the closing sale of Friday. There was a reaction and decline from the top price, however, of 2 1-2 cents. The more deferred months were also bid up sharply in "sympa thy with the strength displayed in the December and they, too, failed to hold the best prices reached. Rest ing spots for the day showed net gains of 2 7-8 to 4 l-2c. After so long a time the average wheat speculator has made up his mind that foreigners will continue to buy that grain, no matter . whether there is a ear available with which to haul it to the seaboard or whether there is a vessel on the ocean ready to transport it to the nations which we all know must have it, and at no distant day. Foreigners are buying wheat daily and on the price reces sions they have been quite heavy buyers. It is asserted by those, in the grain trade who know conditions best that foreigners own 50 per cent, of th(J wheat in the visible supply, which now totals around 2,000,000 bushels. With favorable transportation facili ties, wheat and flour will be shipped out of this country at a rate that will greatly surprise even the bulls, who feel sure of their position be cause of the wants of foreigners. Cash sales of wheat here were only 5,000 bushels and at the sea board the transactions were said to be liberal. Cash corn sales were 1,000,000 bushels and oats 45,000 111' -1 I i I I .II Will Solve th e Heating Problem EorrYour .
