these from farms in the neighborhood,
with whose owners they had contracts
for the year. No doubt, too. they have
left III debt to the farmers who employed
them.
It is very unsafe here to let a negro
laborer get beyond his wages, for he is
likely at any time to be taken with the
western fever. Unless the outlook soon
improves there will be a large number
of men who will fail to vote in the next
election for failure to pay their poll
tax before the LIST Of May. The Sheriff
of the county says there are 140O who
have not yet settled with him.
The cutting off of SO many colorcd
voters in this county makes a nomination
by the Democrats equivalent to an cleo
ton. This fact has produced more can
didates for county officers than ever
known before. The woods are literally
full of them. It is rather early yet for
announcement as the convention Will
probably not be held before July.

Wheat Up on Wet Weather and
Light Receipts of Contract
Grades at Chicago.
ARMOUR ACTIVE IN SEPTEMBER
Cash Wheat Is Very Scarce and Some
Local Flour Mills Will
Close.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Aug
15.-Wheat moved up another notch to-day on
continued covering by shorts In September
wheat and some new general buying. Sep
tsmber led again in strength and sold to &c.
Realizing carried it back to 669sc, but there
was good support throughout. Liverpool was
weak at the opening but firmed up and closed
ss94sd higher. Some new bearish gossip was
In, but was more than offset by news Of
nature favorable to price maintenance. Buda-
pest estirlators now place the Hungarian crop
at 1876, 2O0O, 900 bu, while the promise July l
was for IA, 900 blu, and last year the
estimated yield was 127, 900 bu. Springfield,
ILL.,, wired that the winter wheat area was
1774,OOO acres, and that the yield was fully
SO, 800 900 bu or $780, 900 bu more than last
year. Argentine shipments Increased TO 240,-
coo bu. against 5000 last week. Last year
Argentine shipped 40S.000 blu. In Chicago
there were two strengthening things In sight,
the wet weather and the poor quality OF ro-
ceipts. With these there was the report that
Armour. is active in September and has
enough September bought to control the entire
stock of contract grade. This would be- i'm
portant as a bull card, especially If receipts
continue running light and grading low.
There were light rains in South Dakota. and
general light rains over Nebraska and Iowa.
The forecast is for partly cloudy weather to-
night and Saturday with probable showers.
Gables reported dry weather in Argentine and
rain needed. ...
Kansas City receipts were only 10000 blu,
against ops, 900, but st. Louis showed up with
$50, 600 blu, again 1O2, 900. Over 100000 was
shipped out of Kansas City, most OF 1t headed
for Chicago. At primary points receipts wera
113S 900 bu, against 969,00Q Blu, and ship
ments 1850, 600 blu, against $4,000 blu. Wheat
and -four cearances eQualed 2s1, 900 blu.
Minneapolis had only 115 cars, against 293
last year. and Duluth had II, against 81.
The Modern Miller says: Threshing returns
and statements from trustworthy authorities
point to total yield of 400 600. 900 bu OF winter
wheat. The largest yields were made by the
soft wheat states Of the central surplus
region. Farmers are still selling oft grade
wheat freely but many are holding choice
grain. The milling quality of the wheat this
year far surpasses that Of last season as 1t
produces stronger and uniformly better
-four. For the week wheat and flour clear
ances were 4,5s1,0O0 Blu, against 4244,OOo bu
last week, and 100000 blu year ago.
The market sold off a little at the close on
realizing, September closing at 66Ss966%c;
December, 64Nc, and May, 679s@67Ac.
The cash market was active. For choice old
No. l northern TIC was paid. Old No
northern sold at 751a@75Ac. Five cents over
September was about the basis for new No.
2 No. wheat sold at 73c for old and Tic for
new. Rejected brought Tic and no grade
ranged from 72c down to Gle.
