as yet nothing to unduly alarm

fully two weeks behind the
schedule and it is estimated that
less than one-third of the seeding
is done at this. date. Heavy
frosts at night are interfering.
with the work yet and seeding is
progressing slowly. The acreage:
in this county will be much less.
than last year. This is especially;
true of the hard wheat. In dur.
UNI the acreage will probably be
larger and this is true also of
the later grains, flax, barley and
oats. Taking former years Of
like weather conditions as a cri-
terian,, the general prospects
point to good crop as the soil
is in excellent condition for the
seed. 49,.
Starkweather, N. D., May Is.
Wheat seeding in this locality
is late this year, weather condi-
lions being very unfavorable.
May z was really the first day
that permitted work all day in
the fields. Nearly all wheat land
was plowed last fall and farm
ers have been narrowing, as
much as possible and will SOW
wheat up to May Is to 20. At
this time less than 80 per cent
of the wheat is sown.
Leads, N. D., May 13. Wheat
seeding in this locality is at least
two weeks late. About so per
cent Of the seeding is done. The
acreage of wheat will be about
10 per cent smaller. There will
be about the same amount OF
durum wheat sown. About 10
per cent more flax and about 20
per cent more barley will be
sown, and about the same
amount of oats as last year.
Langdon, N. D., May 13.-Nc
seeding has been done here yet,
but with favorable weather it
may start in a day or two.
The wheat acreage in this
county will not be over two
thirds normal, in fact that is true
of all kinds of grain, as the farm
ers will not have time to do the
work. $3.50 = 70. - :. Ess~@:l ~
The durum acreage will not be
larger than last year, if as large,
AS much oats and barley as pos
sible will be put in, but the acre
age will not come up to last year
owing to the short time allowed
for seeding. 8

Never before, according to
patriarchs in the trade, has so
much business been done in the
pit in a single day. The public
seemingly was more firmly in
trenched in it's position as direc-
tor general than at any time
heretofore, ignoring the occas-
ional vigorous attempts of the
bears to change the market COM
plexion. The pit was a seething
mass, the sole purpose being
apparently to buy in the grain.
Noise developed in the execut-
ing of selling orders scarcely
lived long enough to suggest
the mildest echo, every bare
recession witnessing a burst of

draw upon their surplus brokers.
