Candor.

The Colonel had demonstrated vigor
ously with Uncle Eph about the old
darkeys persistent excursions into the
state Of inebriation.
Uncle Eph, though he promised faiths
fully to refrain from frequent dips into
the flowing bowl, failed to live up to
the Colonel's expectations.
On numerous occasions the Colonel
saw Eph under the influence Of liquor,
but the l.arkey when taken to task
stoutly denied the accusation. affirm
ing emphatically that he did not drink.
One evening the Colonel met Uncle
Eph in condition which made ID
plainly evident that the darkey was

THE MARKETS.

The wheat market, so far as futures
are conc rned, has been subject to
violent fluctuations the past week.
The September option went as high
as S1.0i and then bumped down to
below the dollar mark. The close
Tuesday was Sl.00s. We mention
the September option as that is the
option governing the new wheat. At
present spot new wheat is worth 10
cents over September for Northern.
But any iluctuation in that option
raises or lowers the new wheat price.
The matter Of bearded wheat is
receiving attention. 1t is bound to
sell at a discount und, r Blue Stem,
but how much we cannot say. The
Minneapolis Board of Appeals was to
hold a meeting Thursday to decide
upon the matter of establishing a
separate grade for Velvet CHAT, which
is PARTIALLY the same thing as our
bearded wheat. The millers will not
commit themselves as yet as to the
discount one placing it at from 3 to 20
cents under the bald varieties.
Fhe sentiment seems to agree that
wheat will hold up pretty well, but it
is certain that the damage reports
have been fully discounted in the
making of present prices.
Barley has advanced nearly six
cents the past week. This market
has not yet been made and the pro-
fessionals are all at sea. One fact is
apparent, and that is that farmers are
going to be slower to market the crop
during the first part of the season
than they were a year ago. This fact
probably accounts in a measure for
the advance. Wisconsin has a fine
quality of barley this year as against
a poor quality in 1907. Later this
will have something of a depressing
effect on mailing stuff. The present
high price of corn is helping to hold
up the barley as it has not yet gone
beyond a feed value as compared
with corn.
Oats are holding strong, but are
not advancing with barley. New 3
white oats cannot be sold to arrive for
September at over 464 cents. How
eve that is something like A cents
above a year ago. Present prospects
for the corn crop do not indicate much
of a falling of from present feed
values.
