BROOMCORN

The receipts Of brush for the past
week were very light, there being
but % cars shipped as compared with
Al cars the week before. Up to last
Saturday night 1923 cars had been ship
ped from the 1911 crop. With the
price as low as at present it is prob
able that little corn will be brought
in the next ten days However the
present tendency is little better
than at the first Of the week. Good
brush is still in fair demand, but
there is little demand for the poorer
grades.
Estimates as to the amount of the
brush still in the country are greatly
varied, and range from so to 250 cars.
1t is very probable that the correct
amount would be about an average
OF these figures.
The market here at Liberal has
suffered strong set back during the
past two weeks. The price has been
off about so per ton and there have
been few of the buyers who were
here that were bidding on brush
The top reported for Monday was
Sl3O per ton, and for Wednesday
Sl45 per ton. Thursday morning
was cold and cloudy and there was
but little brush in the yards here.
The congestion at the warehouse is
somewhat relieved at the present
time, yet there is a great deal of
brush still outside of the warehouse.
The reason for the low prices now
are differently viewed by different
people. Many attribute the drop to
the fact that the market here was so
high that the funds of the buyers
were exhausted early IN the fall. Ev-
cry buyer on the market here at pre-
sent time has a quantity Of corn on
hand and the have hardly had time
to dispose Of it to the eastern manu-
facturers. Others say that the buy
ers were loaded up On poor corn at a
large price we're broke, and that the
market is now where it ought to be-
If the first is true, the market
should cUme back to its higher prices
in a week or two.

The following from St. Louis
Globe Democrat is even better
news than we had expected to fur
nish at this time. The st. Louis
Globe Democrat in the issue Of
October %, carries the following
''Vice-President and Genera
Manager Frank Kell of the Wichi-
ia Falls & Northwestern closed a
deal during the past week for
new equipment for the company,
consisting of eight locomotive :,
coaches for two passenger trains,
300 freight cars, eight cabooses
and a NUMBER of fiat cars, This
equipment is necessitated by the
extension of the road north to
Woodward, which will be in oper-
alton early in 1912.
The road is in operation from
Wichita Falls, Texas, northwest
through Oklahoma to Hammond.
The Katy" is running trains ov-
er the line from Dallas, making
connections at Wichita Falls.
Surveyors are working on an ex-
tension of the road north and west
from Woodward. via Fort Supply,
Gate and Beaver in Oklahoma to
Liberal, Kansas"
This appears to be an assurance
that the Wichita Falls road is
headed straight for Liberal and
while the move has not been a
great surprise, yet the develop
ments are more rapid than were
generally expected. The grading
gang is now almost to Woodward
and it is said that they will at once
start on the line from Woodward
to Liberal.
