nervous and not very large market was seen
In wheat today. Range was from about yes

few disposed TO expand trade materially pend
ing the over-Sunday possibilities. There has
been fairly active milling demand here for
cash wheat. Official forecast is for showery
and unsettled weather northwest With above
exceptions news of the day is mainly bearish.
Southwestern receipts continue large. and a
big run is expected theer next week as a r
suit of high cash wheat premiums that have
ruled this week.
The corn market ha shown further advance
today, but realizing sales and shorts covering
on the bulge have caused a material backset
from top Activity is in new crop months.
Plenty of strength in cash corn. which is up
u to &c and a big premium over September,
Oats were helped a little by the corn
strength at times, but reacted quickly when
corn turned. Big receipts are expected here
fo' the balance OF the month. Northwest is
also continuing its hedging sales Cash oats

The gain of 10 points by Montana during

UNCLE SAM MAKES MOST AUTOS
Despite Depression over $4,000 Were
Sold During Last Year.

Sold During Last Year.
The United States has now taken first
place in the number of automobiles pro-
duced yearly. In the year 1909 the makers
of this country plan to put on the market
5000 cars, as against 10000 for France,
5000 for Italy and about 10000 for England
and Germany.
In the last twelve months, despite a de-
preston that seriously affected every line
of trade, 5000 cars were sold in the United
States. In the last eight years the United
States has purchased IT'S. 900, and it is esti-
mated that, making allowances for those
that have been ~relegated to the past, not
less than 100, 900 are now in use in Uncle
Sans territory.
In place of the fifty cars that used to
be considered a big annual output for a
factory, the business has now grown to a
point that for the year 1899 four leaders in
the business plan to turn out a total of
5000 cars. one of four announcing its COM
plement for the present year as 1000.
These are figures to make the head
swim. They scout, any hints of pessimism.
A business that In a decade has advanced
to such Impressive proportions is not a
mushroom growth to die out in a few
years.
Those in the Automobile business today
are but the pioneers of a mighty trade
that in time to come will be a source OF
untold wealth, for the adaptations OF the
motor car are innumerable.
