, ness was on range from SIC to s4Ac for No.

grades sold in proportion and moved or salts

prevail What the w1nter-wheat farmer does
Will probably be done by the spring wheat farm
er. With good weather in the northwest there
may be a heavy movement for few. weeks,
but after certain class of farmers cell wheat,
deliveries will run light unless the price goes
1o@15c higher. Another important feature that
ability Of railway companies to haul more than
certain quantity. There is big crop of
oats, rye, barley and fax that must be hauled,
so even If farmers sold wheat freely, the re-
ceipts at Duluth and Minneapolis would not run
very heavy at any time, but will have to be-
distributed turnout the later MONTHS IT,.
