has been sold, comparatively little, that was
stored at this city. 6ocents continues the
prevailing market price, with not much to
make !, iluetnate More nigh, have been
obtained In Oetob.r and November but
few were willing to sell then though the
rule has been for years that the best prices
prevail IN those months. The farmer who
sells In October and Noycmber year after
year is the one who makes the most. II
Is o=ly rare exception that this does not
hold true every year majority hold
their wheat,pay Insurance and interest on
their y,and then sell for less Than the
fail prices.
