made bold upon much less technical in

The volume of moving bales might have
aroused the most sanguine bear upon the
question of that perpendicular drop es
pecially when the drawing capacity of pres

ly denned Inclination to wait however
which quite satisfied the bear fur the Unit

after but by noon half of It was lost again
