For the first time in the history OF
this county wheat is being bought In
Chicago and shipped back to Kansas
City, there to be sold to millers In
the west and southwest. In a con.
yersation with Geo. H. Hunter yester.
day, he predicted that within the
next four /; months Sumner county
people would be using flour made from
wheat bought in Chicago. The cause
Of this is that the wheat supply Of
this section is nearly exhausted and
the prospects for the coming crop
very poor. 1t now looks as though
Wellington wheat prices in the future
will be Kansas City prices plus the
freight rate, instead Of minus that
amount as heretofore.
