THE r. MARKET

What are the prospects for an ad.
vance in the price of wheat is just
now a question being asked by a great
many farmers, We have been asked
that question a dozen times the
past week.
Our answer il that we do not know.
The market has been holding very
stubborn in the face of bear news,
and at times the Chicago bull crowd
lend enough support to the market to
keep it from going below the present
level.
However, there is a lot of wheat in
the country, according to all reports,
and a greater acreage of winter wheat
than ever before. The actual situa.
Won does not seem TO warrant a belief
in higher prices. o.. the other hand,
there is practically no speculation il
the market at the present time, and
if things should take a turn and
spectators take hold, there would
probably be an advance in the price.
Some of the big men in the trade are
looking for this to happen.
We look upon holding wheat at
this time as pure speculation.
The local market is as follows:
Thursday, Dec. 29-No. | Nor.
Soc; No. z Nor. 50; No. 2 Nor. V. G.
81; No. 3 Nor. V. G. 50: Durum, 70;

United States circuit court here next
month, a case Of much importance 70
this section will be tried, involving the
alleged origin of many forest hres In
the Black Hills.
The government has brought suit
against the Burlington railroad FOR
sac 600 damages for the destruction by
fire on Labor day, 1908, at Galena, near
here. of over 1000 acres OF valuable
timber on the Black Hills national for
est.
That the case will be bitterly con-
tested was made evident by the stub
born defense put up by the road in
the two similar cases brought by
Charles Krouse and George Benner in
circuit court here in June.
The government suit will also be the
first one tried here in the United States
courts in which the double damage act
is relied upon. If the plaintiff is sue
cessful the amount of its damages can
be put at $4,000, but it is understood
that in such an event the validity OF
the state statute on the subject, passed
in 1907, will be tested in the higher
courts.
