Concerning Nebraska Wheat.


When the Nebraska grain dealers
association meets November 10, says
the Liuccln Journal, 1t will probably
be called upon to take up the opposi-
tion forming against the amendment
passed by the board of trade OF Chi
cago recently restricting the kinds OF
wheat which will be accepted as con-
tracts, as there is very little wheat
raised in the state which will pass
muster under the new rule OF the Chi
cago board of trade. So dangerous Is
the amendment said to be that one well
known Chicago man has taken it up
and insists that If the board does not
repeal it there may be a revocation OF
their charter.
The amendment was introduced by
w. T. Baker, who naturally argues in
it's favor by claiming that the restric-
tion will increase the quality of the
wheat received in Chicago and bring
a better class of buyers into the mar
ket. The amendment is as follows:
"On contracts for grain or flaxseed
for future delivery the tender of high
grade of the same kind of grain or
f1axseed than the one contracted for
shall be deemed sufficient. All contracts
made for wheat unless otherwise speci-
fed shall be understood as for contract
wheat, and on such contracts a tender
of No. red winter wheat, No. red
winter wheat or No. 1 northern spring
wheat, in such proportions as may be
convenient to the sell, subject, how
ever, to the provisions of section OF
rule 81 shall be deemed valid tend
err
AS may be seen from the amend
ment, nothing will be received as con-
tract wheat except No. 1 red winter,
No. winter and No. northern spring
wheat. Nearly all the Nebraska wheat
is spring or Turkey red. Being barred
from selling On contract because if
when the time comes for delivery they
would be unable to furnish the contract
wheat the grain men are forced until
the first of December to sell in open
market or on the track in Chicago.
The order practically debars Nebraska,
Kansas, Iowa and the Dakotas from
the contract market.
Nebraska wheat is graded No. 2
hard and No. 2 spring, the greater part
being called No. hard in the Chicago
market Out of the 195 cars of wheat
on the Chicago market Tuesday ten
passed under the new amendment.
Eight out of 168 were able to enter as
contract wheat Wednesday. Baltimore
recognized the dissatisfaction such a
ruling would create long ago and as
result opened it's market on broad
basis. The st. Louis board of trade
is now considering the feasibility OF
doing so. If the board does, st. Louis
will be the destination of a great deal
of Nebraska wheat in future.
A grain dealer stated yesterday thai
an alteration in the ruling of the Chi
cago board of trade would mem the
transfer of many dollars into the pOck-
cts of the states grain men. At pres
ent if a man contracts to deliver De-
cember wheat the buyers in ChicagG
may have a cinch on all the wheat AMI
can hold up the dealer from Nebraska
who is unable to furnish wheat he has
contracted for. AS a result th6J will
get whatever they please for wheat thai
he has to purchase while at the Tins
he may have his elevators filled with
the Nebraska product.

the owner of fine horse, which one
day unfortunately attracted the atteu-
ton of several soldiers while she was
out riding. She soon realized that the
men were in earnest in their intention
of taking the horse from her.
Suddenly breaking away from them,
she gave the spirited animal cut with
her whip, and sped toward home. But
running away was only postponing the
trouble, for she knew that the men
would follow her. Without pausing ali
instant, she trotted to the back tico.' of
the house, rode boldly through the
kitchen and parlor, and thence into a
bedroom on the lower floor, which was
generally used as guest chamber.
The soldiers searched every available
corner of the farm, but the idea that
the horse was concealed in the house
did not occur to them, and they went
away disappointed The tradition is
that the horse remained in the bed.

of the present day may be as truly pa
