HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.

.AAOeAAS~ - Sss
Pioneer Press: There is good
reason to believe the farmers will
hold their'grain this season. Last
September the price at Minneapo'
lis, practically the same as at Du.
luth, was 80 cents. The average
freight rate was 10 cents from the
three states to head Of lakes, and
now it will be about 9 cents, on
account of reductions IN tariffs.
The average margin for, elevators
IN the case of fair grain IS d cents
for charges, cleaning and profit.
That would make the average price
paid farmers last year about II
cents. With the present price of
September here (about IS cents) it
will be seen that the difference in
price more than offsets the increase
in crops in determining the dispo'
sition of the farmers.
a Granaries and stocks are ex.
hausted and the visible supply in
the country is less than ever be.
fore, so there is every indication
of . sharp demand; but there are
large prospective deliveries, the
crop being practically secured al
over the country. The question
whether the farmer is likely to
dispose of his grain quickly IL in.
Dictated by the deliveries at winter
wheat terminals - Toledo, St..
Louis, Detroit, and Kansas City.
They are evidently holding back.
If the spring wheat farmers fol.
low SUIT and receipts are light
through September, the supply
would hardly keep up with the
inevitable demand, and prices
would tend to 60 up. But in the
Northwest, or spring wheat states,
the farmers as rule are not so
we'll equipped to hold wheat as
these in the older or winter wheat
sections. and it is possible receipts
in tho Northwest may be large as
compared with those in the winter
wheat territory.
