Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Sept. g.
With unchanged cables and better weather, the
bears started on the curb to hammer the market
down, and succeeded in forcing the curb price
down to S1.09& for the December option. The
official opening was 1ac better at 1.10A. There
bears, the latter covering their early sales and
prices worked up gradually to s1.12N by the
noon hour. September opened at s1.11h n, sold
up to s1.14. May opened at 81 u and ad-
vanced to $1.1S7s by noon. One OF the principal
causes OF strength was that both Duluth and
Kansas City reported a hrst-class -four demand,
Kansas City reporting 10000 sacks sold to Liv.
erpool within the past week.
The higher the market went the less offerings

TWINE FROM WIRE GRASS
New Use Found for the Pest by Wis
consin Manufacturers
I
lsV1IIe Courler-J ournal.


Wiregrass Irvine is a new product of
the northwest oF which promises to re:
manila Irvine during the wheat harvest
season. The -wiregrass from which the
twine - is made is grown in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, and other products as
well as Irvine are made from it. G.
W. Crawford Of Indianapolis explained
the nature Of the new product:
For the last ten years of more. he
said, "the wheat harvest season has
assumed the aspect Of bugbear to
farmers who did not have large sup
ply of Irvine on hand. Without twine,
binders cannot run, and without bind
ers it is impossible to harvest wheat.
1.-THE only variety of Irvine that
could be used in the past was the ma
Mia variety, imported from the Philip
pine islands. The supply of that al
ways gave out before the harvest end
ed, and the lack of it often occasioned
great loss: The new wiregrass has
proved to be equal, if not superior, to
manila Irvine, and the farmers may rest
easy now. !" @ -. - =

approaching low point. Practically no export
