ing Z. A. Smith Il Co. are considering

have eight or ten lumber yards on the

panies who are to purchase wheat for
the same region have notified the farm
ers that they will pay in thirty-day
drafts, and the farmers seem not in
cined TO let their wheat go, fearing that
the drafts may miss fire on payment at
maturity. Smith IL Co. have been in
formed in many cases that the farmers
want lumber for improvements on their
farms. Mr.. Rogers is therefore going
