WHEAT IS HIGHER
 IN STRONG MARKET Foreign Markets Show Firm

CASH DEMAND IS SLOW
the Market Firm and Prices Ad- yancc-Oats and Provisions
 Close at a loss

Chicago, August 23.-wheat and corn were strong all through the session to- day and closed within a fraction of the top, wheat being ssQ%c to 11sc up, and corn AG%c higher. In spite of the strength of wheat and corn, oats dragged much of the time and closed 1sc off to 1sQ lac up, while provisions, after advancing sharply, fell away even more acutely, and finished from 10c to BOG down.
 Primer foreign markets, moderate pit offerings and symptoms of strength in the northwest markets worked into the plans of the bulls and gave a basis for a strong tone. Proft-taking on the up- ward march, together with a revival of selling by scattered commission houses, did not materially mar the bulls pro- gramme. The cash demand was slow but the premiums were steadier. The worlds visible supply showed large increase and received car lots were also many. At no time was there any pronounced shrinkage of values and the close was strong all around-Septembe ssQNc to touched $1 .0o1s, 1c higher than yesterdays final quotations. December closed BQ1c to 11sc higher at s1.o4Q1 .o41s.
 Fear that untimely frost will nip the new crop before 1t is harvested gave the corn pit some firmness at the start, and the later strength of wheat and improved buying support kept the figures well up most of the session. An improvement in the shipping demand in particular helped utao dv nd unchanged in price, with a fair demand supplied by moderate offerings. No. 2 yellow sold at e1%@62c The close was strong, with September so up at 6oa4c. the top point of the day. December closed r 07sc to ssc up at 5sh95sMc.
 The oats market was uninfluenced by the strength of wheat and corn. May was bought freely against sales of the nearby deliveries. There was some short covering early in the session, but not of sufficient caliber to effect the general drift of the market. Flutuatlons kept within narrow limits. The close was steady, with September xc of at 341sc. December closed unchanged at 3scE.
 Higher prices for live hogs and good demand for products sent provisions sharply up early in the session. The pit was speedily flooded with offerings from packers, and the market eased away from the advances and drifted down, closing weak all through the list at a decline of from 171kc to BOG for pork; 1oc to 171ac for lard, and 171ac to 20c for ribs. Closing figures for the September products were: Pork, s21.3O, 17hc down; lard, $11 .s211@ Il .s5, 159171kc off; ribs, $12.371a. 2oc off.

points on much higher cables than ex- pected. Shorts were the best buyers on the first call. In the early trading longs were rather inclined to sell out on the hardening market because of their fear of the ultimate effect of the large move ment in the west which today promised to become record breaking at some points. particularly Galveston, Tex. This dis position checked the advance, after 1t had amounted to 10 points on the more active months. At the end of the first half hour of trading the market lost a couple of points from the high levels es- tablished around the opening. This was In the face of the weather forecasts promising continued dry weather In Texas.
 The market was very steady through out the morning. Official reports of ex- tremely high temperatures in Texas served to revive talk of premature open ing of bolls and to increase the buying of nervous shorts. The weekly summary from the weather bureau of conditions over the cotton country was generally considered as being more unfavoraple than favorable and 1t added to the strength of the market Bulls pointed out that there were only two days more in the present condition percentage and that crop conditions during the last month have been such as to lead them to expect bullsh September condition fig ures Toward noon fresh buying for the long account was seen and prices were sent to a level 10 to 12 points over yes terday's closing
 In the afternoon session buying con- tinued until the more active months were 12 to IA points up. At o'clock profit taking by scalping longs was in evidence and prices were to points down from the highest.
 The close was steady at net advance of 5 to g points.

ALABAMIANS WILL
 SPEAK AT ST. PAUL

St Paul, August 23-(Special. )-Word has been received by Thomas R. Shipp. secretary of the National Conservation congress, that Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, will attend the convention on September 5, 6, I, 8, 9. This Is taken to mean in St. Paul that the local weather man had bet ter hand out his very best brand on the days of the congress.
 Reference to the records in the St. Paul weather office, of which Prof. J. N. Ryker is the local forecaster, developed the fact that the delegates to the conservation from the weather. The normal tempera- ture for an average of 30 years, so Uncle sams books show, has been: September s, e4 degrees: September 6, 64 degrees; Sep tember '. 63 degrees; September 8, s de- grees September g, 62 degrees. This is an average for the five days of 6S 1-5 degrees which speaks for itself so far as St. Paul 8 climatic conditions during the first days of September are concerned. Only on two of these days has there been any rainfall, and these are what the weather man Cdll tTdCcSs pSihB ooioeihh6 iino four-hundredths of an inch for "A hours.
 We can't very well conserve the weather" said an attache of the St. Paul office, but the records of former years indicate that we will be as good to our visitors as any other city in the world could be, and we certainly will do every thing in our power to make it pleas ant. Naturally we will be on our best be- hayior with Chief Moore in town
 Congressman Richmond P. Hobson of Alabama, who as lieutenant of the navy gained distinction by sinking the Merrimao in the entry of Santiago har- bor to bottle up Cervera's fleet during the Spanish-American war, will be one of the delegates from Alabama Senator Bank head will head the delegation of which Representative Hobson Is member. MT. Hobson is expected to take part in the discussions and conservation of the navy is likely to be the theme of his talk.

New York, August 23.-(Special. )-Ad- vices of the continued absence of rain inf Texas where the central portion of the state is believed to be suffering se. verely from drouth and the covering of the near positions in Liverpool by con- tinental houses who have remained short until this late in the season brought an unexpected sharp advance in Liverpool. On the advance which followed in our market there was profit-taking by the buyers of last week, while late in the afternoon there appeared to be hedge sell ing against buying of new cotton in Tex as. Nearly every one here looks for high CT prices on these drouth reports from Texas It was thought the holders of September were sellers on the advance.

The average farmer is certainly
able under present conditions. to
save money, but in the area OF
OF high land values, as in Illinois
and Iowa, one may not earn
enough interest on the selling
value of his farm. 1t is the opin-
ION of business experts that at
present prices for land there few
farms can return more than 5
per cent on the Investment. For
the present, however, the good
result is that the farmer makes a
good return in money, and by
careful living increases his bank
account
Within the area Of cheap lands
in Northern Wisconsin the per-
centage OF profit on investment
can be made much higher, espec-
iallv iii view of the proximity to
a large and growing market.
Indeed, the whole discussion
points toward the need of cheap
er land-just such opportunities
as abound hereabouts. a good
farm in the high-value areas OF
some OF the other states costs so
much that it is idle there to tell
wage workers in the overcrowded
cities to get farms Here any
body who has a few hundred
dollars can get a piece OF good
land and move on it when cir
cumstances will allow. Almost
any thrifty man can accomplish
this resultant the opportunity
as good as it is now, will moi
last long.
