Topeka. Kan, Sept. 27-The fourth
and last Touring mill in Topeka has
shut down for want of wheat to grind.
1t is estimated that seventy-ive mills
in the State are idle from the same
cause. The farmers are not selling their
wheat but are waiting for better prices.
The farmers are holding their wheat,
they say, because they have money
enough on hand, and are able to hold
it. and not because there is any UNDER
standing among them to that end. It
is thought that there are 10000, 900
bushels of wheat in the State.
