"A Large yucreusc in The Shipments
of Wheat.
Temple, Texas, June 21.-Last year there
were shipped out Of Temple about ten cars
OF wheat, while the year before there
was not any shipped at all This year
there have been eight cars shipped al
ready with about four more In the ware
houses and the crop has just begun to be
marketed. Conservative estimates say
there Will be about thrty-six cars shipped
from here and as it is hard to tell Just
how much of the Falls county wheat Will
be marketed here, It Is thought these fig
ures may be. smaller than the final ship
ment. Falls county cotton from near Bile
wins finds yearly market in Temple and
II the wheat of that section finds the same
market, 1t Is certain to run the shipment
above the thirty-six car limit. This shows
TO what extent tho wheat acreage has been
Increased In this territory. Wheat is now
bringing G5 cents per bushcl, while oats
runs from 20 to q ID cents and corn
about 20 cents per bushel.
J. M, McCinnis, who runs first-class
gin and corn mill plant near ocxer, this
county. is putting in Touring mill In
connection with his other plant. He has
no railroad connection and is only build
ing with view to accommodating his
local customers. it Is a good move, as
is will work in nicely with his other plant
and seems a solution on small scale
for his immediate customers ito hhe want
of Touring mill here in Temple,
