Wheat-There was no denying the
selling pressure on wheat. The first in
timation of inherent weakness was dis
covered in the "curb" feeling, being one
of depression. The regular price was
slightly lower, and then the selling
started with the elevator men leading
and pouring out December, it did not
seem though as if they were buying
much September, for the reason that
there is a further widening difference
between the two months. Outside BUSH
ness, there was none, and what
little that did appear was
liquidation. It is not hard to enumeraUe
the difficulties that beset the buyer to-
day, Liverpool, Paris and Berlin cables
all quoted lower markets over there.
Then a collection of harvest reports from
the northwest showed that wheat was
threshing out well and the yield good at
80 to 40 bushels to the acre. This could
not be otherwise than discouraging and
the bears used it to advantage where it
could do tho most good. Brad
streets report, which appeared
at noon was another straw on
the camePs back, in that the
decrease both coasts was only 100000
bushels, while the amount of wheat in
Europe and afloat increased 1, 10000
bushels leaving the total worlds decrease
so small as to be without serious cOnsid.
Grafton. 1t resulted in still further re-
duction to the price when September got
down to 6318. The export clearances
were a little better in wheat and The
Orange Judd Farmer issued a report on
the estimated yield of the three big
spring wheat states as follows: Mime
sofa "a million bushels, North Dakota
so million bushels South Dakota 81 mil
lion bushels This report possessed
unusual significance in that it was com
piled by Snow who YVES formerly assist
ant statscian when Secretary Dodge
was in charge of the agricultural depart
ment in Washington. The total 1876
million bushels was considered very
fair estimate and was received with great
attention by the grain trade Late news
report thirty loads taken for export and
helped to steady prices.
Corn and oats-There was very little
reaction in corn or oats market.
There was a fairly steady opening
all around but when the weakness
in wheat set in fractional quotations
were Clipped from prices. The receipts
were S79 and for tomorrow 455 export
clearances good at $4,000. Provisions;
A great many people are beginning to
believe or at least entertain an idea that

Moving Day Has No Terrors for Okla
hOma Women.

Moving Day Has No TerrOrs for Okla
hOma Women.
Moving day in Oklahoma has none of
the terrors for the housekeeper that it
brings to those who live in more con-
sentative places, for there, very often,
the house itself is carted away without
even disturbing it's mistress in her
household occupations. 1t seems a lit
tie queer to look out of the window and
see a house being taken along. by trot-
ting horses, while woman is uncon-
cernedly preparing the family meal
over a hot cooking stove, but it is not
an unusual spectacle down there. When
nearby towns are laid out in new coun-
tries there is sure to be duel between
two of them, and one kills the other.
When a certain village becomes vic
torious the inhabitants of its opponent
put their houses on wheels, hitch teams
to them and join the enemy's forces,
without taking the trouble to disturb
their good wives.

USELESS WORRY.

Nobody Would Believe = q. 8. Weather
Bureau Forecast Anyway
NEW YORK, Aug. 20-Local Forecaster
Dunn was much annoyed when shown the
Washington dispatch in reference to
two months spell of hot weather, which
he was accused of forecasting, and said
he had as yet not heard from Washing
ton on the matter. He gave the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press:
Il absolutely deny the statement at
tributed to me of forecast that we are
to expect two months of hot weather.
Such statements have frequently appear
ed, but the forecasts from this office cover
the thirty-six hours only and statements
of longer forecasts attributed to
me are false in every particular.
1t is my impression that such
forecasts are given out for some
personal motives. possibly to affect the
grain or cotton markets. All those per-
sons interested are requested to pay at
tention to no other than official reports
containing my name for New York and
vicinity only"

LEAvENwoRTH, Kas., Aug. 2O.-Chris-

city arranging to build large distillery
to cost 100000. 1t is to be built at the
place where Sherman's distillery burned

on account of the cheapness of coal and

5000 bushels of the latter daily.

purposes, and to sell as he liked in other

Shields of SILK.

It appears that the comparatively few
losses to the Japanese troops in the
Manchurian engagements in the recent
war with China were not altogether
due to the bad craftsmanship of the
Chinese. AS a means of protection
against the cold the japanese wore a
quantity of floss silk under their outer
clothing, and this acted more or less
as a bullet-proof shield.
