Weekly Market Letter of the EDWARDS
Wood Co.

Wheat, for the past week has been
firm, ranging from 921 to 94l for the
Minneapolis July option. Harvesting
in Oklahoma and Kansas in full blast
with very good promises Reports
from the Northwest show wheat in fine
condition with the acreage above that
of last year.
Corn has been firm with prices lit
tie higher than last week. Reports
from the corn states show corn to be
quite backward and of slow growth
owing to the cool weather. The out
look for this grain is not promising
and it will require an abundance OF
warm weather for us to get an average
crop.
Oats are doing we'll and good crop
is now looked for but the acreage as
compared with last year is much small
er and we do not look for oats to be
much cheaper than at present.
Provisions for the past week have
been strong and higher with the de-
mand good. A light run of hogs is
expected from now until fall and we
look for much higher prices for these
products in the near future.

.SIMPLIFlES OFFICE WORK
Eagle Mill Office Has Time-SaYing
Machine.

A clever contriv ance which will save
no end of time and trouble has been
installed in the Office of the Eagle
Roller Mill company. The ingenious
device is known as the Fisher billing
machine and its particular province
is to handle all the details of freight
consignments with accuracy and dis
patch. 1t is really nothing more than
highly developed species of the type
writer but it reduces a long series of
operations into one process.
Under the old order of things in the
mill Office the shipping clerk had va
riety of duties to perform before car
of -four could go through his depart
ment, but this has been greatly altered.
Now a special form is inserted in the
billing machine and in few moments
it has turned out freight bill, with
It's duplicate, has issued a shipping
receipt, an invoice and an Office copy,
another copy for agents, an insurance
report and its duplicate and notice
to connecting roads.
All of this is done in about the time
formerly required to make one entry
and a further recommendation is that
its records are more legible than those
written by hand. Its cost is very nom
inal and besides performing the func-
tions noted it does away with keeping
one book. No unusual skill is re-
quired to run it and in time an oper-
ator should develop considerable
speed. The machine has been found
to be very practicable and is being
adopted by large firms in all parts o:
| the country.
