omnicient brother who penned the wheat
item in the DeMocRAr, be kind enough
TO tell his readers that "the commercial
editor OF the Harrisburg Courier" was
correct when he stated that May 4 Sem

bushel, and that the one dollar, which is,
by the way, a few cents more than has
been given by any one In Albany this
season, was the price paid TO them here"
|-Harrisburg Courier.
The following from Harrisburg cor
respondent, absolutely reliable, will show
that the. DENocRAr knew what Il was
talking about: "The amount paid for
the wheat OF May & Senders was one
dollar sacked and I. o. b. the boat, was
bought by Fischer, Of Corvallis, who said
1t was not really worth II, but he would
pay II rather than cut of any Of his es-
tablished trade. We would call that
price 02e net, not more. No merchant
has paid dollar n bushel for wheat here.
