he will attempt to defend his recent
acts
In the west he will take for his
text the tariff and scientific revision.

trouble that has arisen over the Alas

For the first time this season there
were things doing in the local wheat
market saturday and between quar-
ter and a half million bushels of
wheat were sold throughout the coun-
ty. All If the wheat went at 20 cents
per bushel for club, and the market
remains the same today.
Until the break came Saturday
there had been practically no wheat
sold locally. Most of the farmers
were waiting for a price as high as 40
cents and almost invariably they had
refused to part with their grain at
lower figures.
With the advance to 20 cents Satur-
day selling became lively and during
the day many crops changed from
the hands of the farmers to the
brokers.
AS to how much wheat was sold
Saturday there is a marked divergence
of opinion. Old line buyers say that
in the neighborhood of half million
bushels were sold, ]. w. Maloney,
who is buying for the farmers coop

vative and says that only about a
fourth of a million bushels were sold.
There is also a noticeable difference
regarding the status of the market
today. Most of the brokers either
declare they have had no advices on
prices or that the price is down n
cent per bushel. on the other hand
Mr.. Maloney is still buying wheat at
40 cents and declares that he could
not find enough wheat to meet his
needs Saturday.
In local financial and business cir
cles there is much rejoicing today
over the opening of the wheat mar
ket since the event means that hence
forth money will be more plentiful
here.
In some quarters it is now predicted
that wheat will soon reach the as
cent mark.
