Cash wheat. No. 2 red. 96c,

CHICAGO, September 2;-Wheat to-day
added 1%c TO the value of September and
l1sc to the December delivery. The mar
advances in foreign markets and both of
the prominent futures sold well above
96c for a time.
All the other markets were strong early
but yielded later in the session and wound
up with declines of &c in corn, Ac in oats
and 212@10c in provisions.
Wheat was very strong al the opening.
The early cablegramS-those received hare
before the days business in the trading
pits commenced-Were of a sensationally
bullish character and sufficiently explain
jump in the price of December to CSC
price having been 993sc.@ In about thirty
minutes SEC was being paid for December
and at the same time September was
wanted at $3.50, without sellers of more
that one or two 5000 bushel lots answering
to even such an advance over the 93ssc
1t was selling for at the close the day be-
fore: Liverpool dispatches described that
market as opening strong and excited at
from 4Ssd to I'D over the previous days
quotations; English country markets were
Is per quarter, or Sc per bushel higher and
Paris showed an equal advance for Sep
TENDER delivery. the quotation being 60
centimes up, which is the equivalent of
&c pen bushel: Of course after a 312c per
bushel rise with a further addition of 25sc
in the first half hour of to-day there were
numbers of people who had handsome
profits too tempting for refusal and their
selling was the principal feature of the
trading the next half hour, and in conse-
quence Of which December reacted from
SEC to 94i2c, and September from 9624c bid
TO csc sellers.
The receipts here were 226 cars. of which
only Is were contract. The quantity in
spected out of store was ia, 600 bushels

of the year before. The total receipts for

Our Sheen Industry.

The revival of our domestic sheep in.
dustry, while promising, will not reach
its bert developmens until fhe woolen
factory is established near where che
wool is grown, says American Agricul-
turist, also authority for the followingi
It took the south 80 years to learn that
Il could manufacture its cotton into
cloth at profit instead of shipping II
all to the north and foreign countries,
TO be there manufactured. just so the
great areas In our western, southwestern
and middle southern states, adapted to
the production Of wool on large scale,
ought to establish factories in which to
manufacture their wool.
At present the New England states
produce less than 8 per cent Of the an
.nual wool clip of the United States, but
the woolen mills Of New England con-
sumo Sc per cent Of the oountry'a total
wool product. Most Of the wool growing
states have abundant water power for
woolen factories, and there is no reason
why this industry should not be devel-
oped in them. It will be some years be-
fore such newly established woolen
mills can expect to turn out the hnes
grades Of cloths. but they can make the
great bulk of the common and coarser
woolens, while eastern mills can be de-
pended upon to make the fine grades
Such is the present development in cot
ton manufacturing, and 1t is important
to our farmers that the wooden industry
should be worked In the same way.

Keeping Commercial Fertiiiner.

Most farmers in purchasing CONNER
cial fertilizers buy enly what are need
ed for immediate use. This is partly to
escape losing the interest on investments
not in use, but mainly because there is
a popular idea that fertilizers deterio-i
rate by exposure to the air. If they are
kept from becoming wet, they will be
as good the second year as the first, ex-
cept that absorption Of moisture from
damp air.will make the mineral harden
into Jumps which will make it difficult
to drill. The best way to keep any sur
plus of mineral fertilizer. according to
American Cultivator, is to scatter it
from time to time over the stable ma
nure heaps and apply 1t with that.
Both the stable manure and phosphate
will be made more efficient by this COM
bination, as each kind Of fertilizer will
supplement tho deficiencies of the other.

Keeping Corn In Cribs.

During an ordinary season corn can
be safely kept in almost any kind of a
crib that will prevent the ears touching
the ground and keep off the rain. Last
year, however, was an exception, and
much corn was damaged in pens during
the winter and spring. Many ears were
found to be rotted by July. and others
were soft and unfit for market. To pre-
vent a recurrence Of this trouble the
Orange Judd Farmer advises as follows;
The pens should this season be built in
dry place. All damaged ears should
be thrown In the back end Of the wagon
bed when husking and picked out before
unloading. II allowed to remain, they
will not only injure surrounding ears.
but may start the entire crib to rotting.
II taken out now, they can be used as
feed for cattle, and thus be of some value.
When husking is completed, cover the
rail cribs without delay and see that the
cover turns water. If heavy rains should
come this fall before the cribs are COW
cred, much injury might result Only q
part of the average corn crop is kept in
rail cribs, but this year it will take
much extra room, which, in most places,
can be easiest supplied by the use Of
fence rails.
