PRICE OF WHEAT FALLS.

In the past two days the price
of wheat in this city has fallen
from rs to % cents, and according
to the statements of local millers
will fall still lower, says the Ow-
ensboro Messenger. The enorm.
Gus western crop has begun COM
ing in at the northern markets and
is of very fine grade. This has
caused the price Of wheat in Chi
cago to fall four cents, and the To-
cal price went down with it. the
millers generally in this city say
that the quality is still very poor,
and much of the grain now coming
in is not good enough to grade as
No. ,. Most of the wheat is only
worth = cents. One of the lead
ing millers, however, said that it
was his belief that as a whole the
deliveries of this week were of a
better grade than the first that
came in, but still there was a great
deal No. 3 wheat being delivered
in this city. About three.fourths
of the Daviess county crop has
been delivered.

few strains of that enervating har-
mony floating oarelessly around

what We have, but, comparatively
speaking, our light is under a
bushel. An organized effort is
needed to bring about the best re-
sulto. Why not a commercial
