annual championship. a claim is put
forward to have the work of the riders

championship to Kramer and the anna

snap so prevalent earlier in the week.
After a rather weak and nervous open

tinuous advance until the close which

to cause the change OF sentiment with
the exception of the Kansas crop report
which proved less than three points
higher than the unofficial prediction Of
yesterday, but in addition showed 81
per cent Of area plowed up. This in
dicates a crop OF about 100000 blu.
