SCRAMBLE FOR CASH WHEAT.
Men Who Sold Short in August Had to
Bid Up Well Yester-

CHICAGO. Sept. 13.-What is believed by
many traders to be the probable beginning
of an elevator war was started in the
wheat market to-day. A scramble of shorts
in September wheat early in the session
added nearly cents to the price within
half an hour, and apparently brought to
Weare & Co, Armour & Co. and Peavey
G. Co. being the firms most vitally interest
ed. The main body of spectators had
little to do with the advance.
1t was evident, however. that a heavy
short interest existed in September. The
fight was over the possession of the cash
wheat. Heavy selling of September was
done during August, in the belief that the
carrying charges, then over 2Ia cents.
would improve, but instead they have
gradually lessened, and to-day entirely dis
appeared. Efforts to cover short sales to-
day were unsuccessful until September had
been bid up from 7O3s TO 72l4@72ss cents.
Much nervousness was shown all day.

in every way it came fully up to the
happy occasion of last year.
The A. o. U. w. hall in which the
reception was held was beautifully
decorated with the colors of the two

each club-th violet and carnation -

the afternoons pleasure, while the
delicacies sesved at the refreshment

Of sugar beet culture. Through its
efforts the county commissioners ap-

and $50 were secured from the Dem

pretty thoroughly advertised and
many Fremont county people, who
knew little OF the sugar beet, raised
a crop last year. In the fall the
crops were harvested and some sent
samples, according to instruction. TO

tested.
The Chamber recently received a
full report Of the tests and the prizes
were awarded accordingly, and checks
