The wheat markets of the world have
been very strong throughout the past
week. Prices have not risen materially
in American markets on account of the re-
straining influence exerted by the leading
bull operators, who do not seem to be
ready at this time to head a sharp cam
paign While the domestic levels have
been only maintained. Liverpool and the
continental markets have seen a series of
sharp upward jumps that have brought
the foreign markets practically to basis
upon which our Wheat may be shipped
The advisability of mark citing any of Wheat
abroad in The shape of rsw grain has besn seri-
sly called in question and the peculiar action OF
our markets may b, the logical answer to this
query. 1t is q known fact that the Minneapolis
mills are booked months ahead with capacity
ders. The largest Of these mills has orders for
six months which will tax its productive power
and has been grinding on tbs same character of
business for month. 1t Is announced that not
pound of this Flour is for domestic delivery.
The question Immediately arises: Is 1t worth
while to export any Wheat as long we can export
Flour instead, thus giving American labor profit
able employment?
The underlying conditions in Wheat strong
that we cannot advise selling operations except Of
a scalping character.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Nov. 20.-The first OF
the fourteen suits filed by the Furdong

against the big insurance companies OF
this country was brought UP for trial
In the district court Saturday. The
Furlong and Meloy stock was totally
destroyed in the fire in the Reynolds

The insurance companies claimed
that the stock was not worth the
amount 1t was insured for and there
fore refused to settle with the firm.
The suit is being brought by the firm
to recover the amount OF their IN
surance. The first case is against
the North British and Mercantile IN
surance Company Of London and
Hamburg. The amount involved In
this suit is much larger than in any OF
the Others, and Is consequently being
tried first as test case.
The case had hardly gotten under
way. when court adjourned Saturday,

ing. It is thought that the taking OF
