Undoubtedly winter wheat will show deterioration as we go into harvest and the foreigner shows a disposition to buy the new wheat for export. on the breaks. Pringle We think the situation warrants buying September wheat oh a scale down.
Barrell Look for a market -until
the government repor is issued today White It is time to buy wheat.
Bartlett It is reasonable to expect some improvement in country deliveries now that field work is pretty well along and the increase will begin to show in receipts of corn here the latter part
or the month.
New York Hutton Strong evidence
of returning confidence in the business world and brilliant crop prospects
would seem to be the foundation for a
better range -of values in securities of
merit
Henry Clews & Co. The undertons is
quite strong and no serious setback is expected. Prices are quite high and should the market lose the support of big operators who are now under i prices would materially sag. Bache We favor buying at present; feeling confident that prices willl work higher during the day. Dick A perior of irregularity around the present level and even of dullness will not be illogical.

The writer appointed a place of meeting in case Mike would take the Job. This was altogether too tempting an opportunity to be thrown over the shoulder. Mike agreed to meet the
cashier and found him In great agony of conscience. He said that he had been trusted Implicitly and was allowed to do what he pleased with the cash. If he could have but six months he would surely be able to square his account. As It was, he saw no way but this device, by wl?ch ln the end the bank would lose nothing. He seemed to suffer so from the tortures of conscience that it aroused a spark of Mike's former honest self. He told the cashier that he-would help him out, but the job would be the last of the kind he would ever undertake. All the preliminary Information the
burglar required was that his partner was what he pretended to be. Of this Mike satisfied himself, then was ready to cany out the plan. A night was
agreed upon. The cashier gave Mike a diagram of the bank building to
guide him and showed him how he could saw through a few Iron ba rs nf

When the time came to do the job Mike found everything as It had been given him. He had no difficulty In sawing through the bars, found the watchman asleep and clapped a handkerchief saturated with ether under his nose. Then he bound and gagged him and went to work with that deliberation for which he was noted. He had a comparatively easy time getting Into the vault, but found the safe a hard nut to crack. While he was at work at the safe he heard the watchman trying to shout through his gag and went out to see tliat all was safe. Mike tight-

After a hard tussle he opened the safe. The cashier had told him that he would find the bills in a pigeonhole right ln front of him. and MIk l-imno-ht

"I lell y what" says Mike, "when one of them bank cashiers sets out to crack a safe there's no professional can come anywhere near him for slipperiness. To think of the conscience the fellow had! Why, he wouldn't consent to touch a penny of the money I was to take and made me feel that I was nothin' but a common bank robber.
