Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 25.
WHEAT-Both at home and abroad
the situation is decidedly bullish. 1t is
only a question of short time when
there may be another old-fashioned bull
furore in wheat. Europe keeps asking
for all we can spare and doesn't haggle
at the price. Exports nearly q million
bushels daily and long before the new
crop comes in, our surplus wheat Will
probably have melted away. A leading
European grain expert says importing
countries will require 10,000,00 bushels
wheat weekly for the rest Of the year.
They will naturally look to us for the
bulk of it. Argentina may fill in the
gap for the next few months, as cur
rent total weekly exports have been
around 100000.
We are getting the same old story
every day from all parts of the North
west; a remarkable scarcity of wheat
in farmers hands and country eleva-
tors Receipts at primary points last
six months of 1907, $4,000, 600, or IL mil
lions less than same period previous
year Many other preinent facts could
be cited It's no wonder that wise peo-
nile are buying wheat futures literally.
CORN-Corn maintains it's usual
strength and closes higher than week
ago. Foreign and domestic demand.
narticularly the latter, improved Won
derfully recently. Supplies scarce at
leading market centers and the corn is
of very poor quality. Out of over 1000
cars at Chicago Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, only three cars were of
contract grade. Kansas farmers hold
ing corn for higher prices, and not
much coming to market.

are now the prevailing thoughts of the
ladies who are making great prepare
tons in dress arrangements for the

advertisement of Davidson company
this morning tells in strong terms of

the gay spring time, and the prices

to be better.
