MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. Wheat: The mar
ket opened steady and ruled very firm
in tone with generally higher prices
UP to noon. The selling was scattered
with commission houses buying on
resting orders. Northwestern markets
were weak while the southwest was
utrong. Advices continue to point to
lessening Of offerings of winter
wheat from first hands. Weather con-
ditions were favorable for harvesting
operations in the norwest. Market
eased off toward the close on heavy
estimated receipts for tomorrow and
generally light speculative trade, the
September future showing the great
est weakness. We do not look for any
decline of moment though we may
have weak spots on which we con-
tinue to favor purchases.

Egg laying contests are becoming
popular in Australia. They are gem
orally held under the management of
the different states. The feeding OF
the hens is the most important factor
in the contests. One pen of six White
Leghorns laid s26 eggs in seven
months. The experts are continually
experimenting with foods to determine
on what diet the hen will be most pro-
ductive. Bone forming materials are
fed to them and the winner of one
contest fed his fowls with curds Of
SKINNED milk, obtained by using rem
ret, with most satisfactory results.

it didn't look like the place. Window
glasses broken, banisters torn out, blinds gone,
SCOT and dirt now cover the onss white walls
the nice furniture is split and scratched, the
columns with prints of dirty hsnds, a perfect
mess.
