- bnllish sentiment and active
and continuous buying of wheat by the
public assisted by local professionals car
ried the price up &c last week and the
close was within sc of the top at a net
gain of 1c. 1t was largely a sentimental
market with the Southwest and Wall
street leading the buying. May sold 90
713sc and closed ut &c with a gain Of lc.
December touched 73lac, the highest
point since the August bulge, and was
73c to 731sc at the close. The public is
buying wheat because corn and oats are
high and they have become impressed
with the belief that wheat is cheap at
around Toe and consumption will be large
enough. to eat up the supplies and make
stocks very low before the advent of
new crop. They have bought all the
wheat offered and carried the price to a
new level.
No change has come to the corn situa-
ton from a supply and demand point
within a week. Speculative trade has
been large, although it shows falling
off at the last as wheat became more at
tractiye. The local talent on the whole
are not enthusiastically bullish on corn
but the country is long and has bought
the market to a Stnndstill. This has kept
it in fairly healthy shape The South
ern and Southwestern demand is good,
and shipments from here last week were
/ ,1S3, 600 bushels, or about half of last
years. and exceeded receipts by nearly
100000 bushels.
Oats made new high record last week,
selling freely at 431ac for May, an adj
vance of lie from the low point made
early in the week. Hhe close was at
43Ac, gain of 1sc for the week. De
cember was within Hc Of May early, but
fell to 1lsc discount at the last.
e Flour is somewhat lower than year
ago, while wheat is slightly higher-the
relation being changed by the advanced
price for by-product. Corn shows an adj
vance of 74l2 per cent, oats 80 per cent,
rye 2S per cent, barley 10 per cent, bran
~ per cent, potatoes 100 per cent, hogs
20 per cent beef cat:le II per cent. Sheep
are slightly lower. More striking con-
trasts are reflected in values at Kansas
City and elsewhere in the West.
Fer 100 pounds Of each Of twelve
items of foodstuffs the present valuation
represents $26.30 compared with S2252
a year ago, or gain Of over II per cent.

The farmers of Dickinson County,

The wheat is billed direct from Solomon
to Berlin, and it is, therefore, sold direct

gle middleman. 1t goes by rail from Sol
ONION TO New York. where it goes through
