corn this week nil; last week nil; last
year 4,66s,000 bushels.
The wheat market responded to the
bullish American government report
with heavy covering of shorts which
resulted in an excited and strong
opening with prices V OK higher. Fol-
lowing the opening there was further
advance OF 1s@M with no recession
during the trading. Later support was
induced by fears of frost in Manitoba,

predictions of very light shipments
from Argentine this week. These in
iuences were supplemented by private
reports OF very unfavorable weather

Chicago. Aug. 1owheat: Opening
prices showed sharp advance with
offerings fair and proved the high
point OF the day. There was good
buying orders here from Europe not
only cit the opening, but during the
latter session. However, the news
from the northwest was not quite 80

terday OF 900 bushels OF winter
wheat to go east from here. Balti-
more reported moderate acceptances

bushels No. 2 red today. The market
seems more or less in waiting atti-
tude with, however, an undertone or
strength. The European situation
seems to be growing stronger and more
disposition is shown on the part Of
buying to take hold. We feel that
prices are on a comparatively safe
level and that on any fair set-backs
purchases should be made.

MILLIONS In IT
FOR THE FARMERS
COOPERATION is THE SOLUTION
or MANY ILLS. SAID Mr.. YoAK-
I'm IN AN ADDRESS TO TEXAS
FARMERs--soME PRACTICAL IL
Illustrations.

st. Louis Times: Mr.. Yoakum told
the Texas farmers that the farmers are
not business men in the sense of TAX
ing advantage OF all the opportunities
which are theirs. He pointed out the
prevalence and extent OF waste In
some ways, growing out of a lack Of
conservation OF energy. Cooperation.
too, he indicated, is much needed in
the practical marketing of the products
or farms reducing expenses to each Of
the eo-operators not only in actual cost,
but In saving of time, which is the
equivalent Of cash on the farm as it is
everywhere else.
He quoted government statistics
showing that the farmers get less than
half of the prices paid by the ultimate
consumers for the products OF the
farms. Forty-six cents out Of the doll
lar is the farmers percentage of the
final cost price Of what he raises. The
other "a cents in the dollar goes to
middlemen Of many kinds, standing
between him and the person who pays
the dollar at the other end Of the line.
Mr. YoalZum told the Texans that they
could get better prices through CO.
operation, but whether he meant that
present prices could be raised in that
way, or that the farmers price would
be made better because OF reduction
in cost Of producing and marketing,
leaving his margins OF profit wider, and
his net price larger, Is a question In the
case.
He gave some practical Illustrations
of his meaning along the lines of CO.
operative effort. 1--WE know that all
farmers are not able to have their own

community of farmers get together to
build and operate one for the con-
venience and profit of all. The cream

son.
PETERSON has been in the county Jail
since Tuesday and has been pleading
with Judge Hanson and Sheriff Boyle

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Most of the longs
sold out their wheat yesterday or re-
duced their lines because of the un-
certainty regarding the government re-
port After the close they said they
felt like buying it back on any break
today. It was the genera lbelief that
today. It was the general belief that
ly asserted. Lichstern has been heavy
seller of wheat on all bulges the last
three days ana had checked the adj
vance. Commission houses and specu-
lators generally advised against sort
sales and the belief is that the specu-
lative short interest is small which
makes it difficult to give the market
big advance and hold it until substan-
tial buying is put under it.
