Chicago Grain Letter.

Chicago, June 2.-Wheat: Opened
strong with good buying by commission
houses on advance sold off caused a
big break. Another upturn on cover
ing by shorts rallied on buying by
them. The later break was caused by
a report that the cash Winnipeg Free
Press had put out an estimate of 10
to 35 per cent in crease in the Can
adam northwest weather m Canada
was cold again last, night There was
free covering on the strong spot which
left the market without support when
the last heavy selling pressure was
put on it, The market acts like a
trading one but we prefer to buy it
on the weak spots.
Corn: The continued cold rainy
weather started the markets strong
offerings were light, and shorts taking
fright caused and advance of II to
cents. The demand became sat-
isfied around SO for July and Ga for
September and when wheat broke
prices eased l cent Cash prices were
~ higher. July corn led in the ad
vance. A big interest has been ELI
minated. 1t is largely a question of
weather. Prices will ease with rea-
sonable warm weather but until we get
that cannot look for much of a break.

Wheat Gossip.

/ Chicago, Ill, June 2.-It was the
gossip among the wheat traders here
last night that the largest shorts had
covered in fact they admitted it and
rsaid they had bought downs to give
them chance to put out their lines
again in case of a break today. The
Armour Grain Co, was outspoken
bearish. They said they say nothing in
the situation to make any permanent
advance although they said that wheat
might show a bulge in Liverpool in
response to our advance. The leading
shorts through them had covered and
they were advising sales. Buying Of
downs on 100000 bushels July and

Armour house also bought downs on

of a decided decline it was easier to
go short through the downs than to

WEALTH OF THE SOIL

Bismarck Tribune: A few years ago
land in the western part Of the state
went begging. There were Ave or six
million acres of land open to home
stead in the Bismarck land district
alone. Other land districts in the west
ern part of the state offered abundant
opportunity to settlers to locate on
free land and prove up on it. Great
tracts west Of the Missouri river sold
for a few dollars an acre. Some sold
for as low as a dollar and dollar and
a quarter. One man who invested in
large tract of land in Morton coun-
ty recently admitted that he made on
the tract "a million dollars more than
he expected" To show the change in
conditions it is well to note that at
sale of isolated tracts at the Bismarck
land Office the other day one tract
sold for $23.75 an acre. 1t was bought
by farmer who paid for it with cash.
A recent sale of an isolated tract in
the Dickinson district brought $25 an
acre-also purchased by farmer He
paid down $1,000 cash for forty
acre tract. This shows that the value
of western North Dakota land is COM
ing to be appreciated. The govern
ment land is practically all gone in the
Bismarck district. 1t is going fast in
the other land districts. Farmers are
anxious to add to their holdings. I'm
proved farming methods, the steam
and gasoline pillow, and better machin-
cry for seeding make IL possible to
form much larger tracts. The farmers
are anxious to have pasture land, in
addition to wheat land. They want to
add some more cows to their holdings
and sell cream and butter and beef.
More land is being planted to corn and
tar&e fodder. The free grazing lands
are gone, and will not return Condi-
tions in western North Dakota are
changing rapidly. No better proof of
quality of the soil and permanency
of the improvements can be offered
than the building of new lines of road.
The railway officials are pretty far
sighted-good business men. They are
not building lines to be operated at
loss. They know what the country has
produced and what it will produce.
All of which proves that North Da-
kota land is good property. The
man who has a North Dakota farm
is independent. With sensible meth
DDS of cultivation, he has heritage
for himself and his family Land is
still selling at a comparatively low
price in the western part of North
Dakota. 1t will double In value in the
next generation, as 1t has more than
doubled and tripled in the past ten
years. People must eat, and food pro-
