us a sample from his corn field Mon

Based on an average for the
past ten years the government and
other wheat experts are predicting a
total yield OF 692,652,00O bushels,
which is considered large. On the
strength of these figures as they be-
came apparent the September option
on wheat has hit the toboggan slide
from 98s cents down to 90s cents.
This is of interest to the northwest
as the September option is the first
option tc have an influence on the
cash price of the new crop. The
price of the option Wednesday of
this week was q cents over that of a
year ago, without the prospects of
the poor grade of wheat which was
threshed in the northwest, and had
so great Az effect on the quotations,
which were based on contract grads.
