WHEAT-The market was rather
strong early on upturns abroad, spring
wheat receipts under last year and
with the crowd working on the bull
side. The Armour concern bought July
along with some local operators, while
the selling was of a good character
with the market very narrow and
largely professional. Northwest ad-
vices were bullish and while a num-
Der of pessimistic crop reports came
in from the southwest on winter wheat
there were enough Of a good sort to
offset them and with the dullness pre-
vailing it induced selling that result
ed in sharp down turns with the mar
ket closing weak There was some
talk of moderate Argentine shipments,
but we hardly think purchases will be
in order except in the event of sharp
declines, with operations partaking of
scalping character.
CORN-Commissio houses, and a
bulfsh local operator bought early, the
Patten house and others, however,
selling May that did not appear to be
well taken, although receiving houses
said that it developed that Missouri
river points offered considerable corn
here above the market price and small
quantities were offerered from Mis-

HORSE SALES AND REAL ESTATE
AUCTION EVERY OTHER FRIDAY,
PRIVATE SALES DAILY.
$4,000 WORTH OF HORSES.


That Is the amount we have paid out
for horses sold in our sales since
March /, with one more sale in this
month to be held yet-Friday, this
week.
Our last weeks sale was simply i'm
mense More horses than We're ever
in Ottumwa, or any other city in
Iowa, for a sale. In fact the sale was
too large for one days selling and here
after when we are to have any such
receipts we will advertise two days
sale.
This weeks sale will be much, very
much, smaller and / nm glad of it for
1t, not only will enable me to catch up
with my work (and l want to sow my
oats next week If l can) but will be
much more satisfactory to both buyer
and seller, as more time can be given
to the selling and inspecting of each
animal.
look for about $50 head and I know
don't guess, but KNOW positively
of quite a number of buyers. 1t will
be a good sale to have few horses
| in.
