but to those who are posted it indica teS
that the foreigner is overloaded with wheat
and willing to help boost the price in order
to unload his surplus and stay out of the
market until prices break to a safe COM
mercial basis.
Receipts at primary markets were liberal
despite the stormy weather and iTdica tons
increase again rext Monday. Cash mar
kets were dull and export business small.
There were rumOrs early of a good loe of
wheat worked for export, but this could

present prices, if protected with reasonable
margins and a little patience will result in
handsome profits
CORN-Corn was strong early on higher
cables and continued unfavorab1e weather,
which scared the remaining shorts TO
cover. Receipts were moderate and show
a tendency to increase IA pidly as soon as
corn gets into condition for shipment
to market centers. There is very little cx-

CORN-Extremely unfavorable weather
movement, was the chief factor in causing
strong opening in that grain. Higher
cables, small receipts and a good cash de-
mand, however, were influences toward
higher prices. December was erratic ct

hole and the cracks Observer Jennings
did not deny, even to his most intimate
friends, that the day was cold and raw
and that the wind was ladened with the
freshest ozone that has been spread over
Topeka for many months.
The barometer in the office took a
sinking spell at o'clock Tuesday after
noon and has been falling ever since.
Hypodermic injections of hot water and
wrappings of cotton batting failed to
cause it to rally, and it was still falling
at room today.
The wind cups on the roof of the Co.
lumbar building sped along at the rate
of 20 miles an hour this morning and the
arrow point of the weather vane pointed
straight north toward the North Topeka
cold storage plant The few fakes or
snow that fell this morning were enough
to make trace on the government
record.
The forecast sent out this morning
was: Generally fair tonight and Thurs
day. Colder southeast portion tonight"
Observer Jennings said this morning:
The thermometer didn't begin to fall
materially until O'Clock this morning.
The mercury was nearly stationary dur
ing the night The storm moved toward
the great lakes and that held our tenn
perature up until today. There is not
much possibility of snow, what we had
this morning is probably about all we
will get. The severe cold today is occa-
stoned by the strong wind from the
north, but % in the middle of the day is
not very warm. The center of this
storm was Just over the Canadian line
northwest of Montana Monday. Tues
day it was conferred between Dodge City
and Okla homa City. That was a rapid
movement as the storm Travelled across
Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas
and into Oklahoma in "a hours. It's
movement since Tuesday has been
toward the Great Lake region. The
storm will be more severe in western
Kansas today than here. The tempera-
ture in the western part will be lower
and the wind stronger today but the
wind will die out by tonight. We will
get the end of the storm TODAY.
The temperature may not be very
much higher Thursday but the wind
will not be so high and the cold will
not be so cutting. The wind was south
till o'clock Tuesday afternoon and then
changed suddenly to northwest and last
night changed to north. The tempera-
ture only fell six degrees from o'clock
last night until o'clock this morning
and then dropped IL degrees in one-third
of that time"
The minimum temperatures reported
from the northwest are as follows: Cal
gary s. Edmonton 2 Havre s, Prince AL
bert Il below. Swift Current 8, Willis
