PRICE OF WHEAT is HIGH.

AS a result of the continued colo
weather this year and also the scar
city of wheat in other countries,
wheat all over the world has gone up
In Minneapolis wheat was sold at
$1.O1 per bushel few davs this week
and deducting 10 cents from this rate,
which is the amount charged for
freight and commission to that city,
you have the price of local wheat
during this period. Flour has gone
up 30 ctnts hundred pounds, bran
and shorts 10 cents, and feed and
cracked corn $l.O0 per ton.
These prices are bound to come
down when the warm weather sets in
but it is hard to say just how much,
as other countries have to get thei.
wheat from this county, their crops
falling short of the demand. and ii
is feared the demand will be greater
than the present supply.
