show by c. c. Rosewater, general
manager Of the Omaha Bee and the
Twentieth Century Farmer, the pub
locations which stand back of the
exposition. follows:
1T is something more than a
show; more than merely an instru-
ment for the use Of the land man in
selling land.

Of tbs best products Of the West.
at is more than a great object

culture.

pose Of making money in the show
business or to attract crowds to
Omaha.
"rhe object of this exposition is
to meet a great vital probIem-to
stem the tide Of emigration nov go
ing to the North and to the South
ard to direct this stream westward"

their best.

A demand for western brewing
barley at the eastern centers has
caused an advance in local prices to
the extent of IS to 20 cents per hun
bred and has occasioned consider
able activity In the markets. It is
reported by grain buyers that prac-
iically all Of the brewing barley is
now shipped 10 the eastern centers
and the price Of feed barley has
been effected accordingly. The bar
ley movement is carrying with il
considerable wheat, even though the
price Of the latter remains at 20
cents.
Il is stated that so days ago bar
ley was a drag on the market at IS
and 90 cents, while buyers are now
securing the country for this same
grain at prices ranging from 81 to
81 10. Buyers report the outlook IA
vorable for good barley prices
throughout the year and are advis-
ing the spring seeding of this grain
instead Of wheat, as Il is stated the
outlook for the wheat market is not
encouraging.
The recent activity in the markets
has moved such quantities Of barley
and wheat that Il is estimated not
more than 10 per cent Of the crop
remains in the hands Of the growers.
and it is predicted AL Of this will be
sold before the delivery Of the new
crop is commenced. Tribune.
