A Long Trip.

Father Meter, who is well known
to a great many of our people, be-
ing the Catholic divine at Norman,
o. T., and who has made frequent
visits to ArdmOre, is now on his
way to his old home in France.
This is Father METERS first vaea-

and he laughingly remarked that
he would sail upon a French vessel
in order to avoid the Spanish.

GRAIN AND PRnYIs,nns

Chicago, May 17.-LiverpOOl was
lower on spot wheat but July was
2 7-6d higher, the deferred futures
1-2 to Sad higher. Paris 10 to 25 and
continues higher. Bradstreets worlds
statement decreased 396, 900 this
week as compared with !, ,396, 900 last
year. Flour hes declined 16 cents
per barrel from the highest Mime
apolis. Receipts at northwest 696
cars against 622 last year, and very
slow demand for -four was the report
from that section. Further reports
from California reported many fields
of wheat saved, even though tho
rains were late. Russian prospects
generally satisfactory. Primary re-
ceipts 1927 900 against 1850 last
year; shipments 969 900 agains. 57,-
600 last year, and the cleara, :cs
rouI ded q total of 500. 900 bush. =.
AS heretofore remarked, September
price above 30 cents will look more
attractive to producers as the season
advances, but the foreign demand
will probably prevent any very great
decline in price at present.
Corn-Clearances were liberal at
769 200 bushels. Bradstreets world 9
decrease s,77O. 900 last year. Ship
pers reported eastern bids Ia out of
line, and there was liberal selling
both by longs and for elevator peo-
pie against country Acceptances.
Weather in the west reported wet,
and some portions Of Kansas say
rains are retarding the crops.
Oats-Have been easy with corn
and the prospects of warmer wea.
ther, Clearances were liberal.
Provisions-Receipts of hogs at
western points $1,000 against 06. 900
last year. Holders were large sellers
on the opening on the prices of hogs
at the yards being higher, but re-
ceipts there overran.
A good break resulted but we ap-
prehend on much further break the
long side should be taken. Estimated
hog receipts for tomorrow 80, 900.
