appear that current prices are high

much corn out of the merchandising

Of the other cereals corr Of the new

With this view in mind holders have

SNAKES STOP BUSINESS.
Three Reptiles Cause Excitement in
Village Hall.

Wtnnetka. ILL.,. Aug. 2o.-Three
snakes stopped all business in the
Winnetka village hall yesterday and
young women employees there were
frightened almost into Mysteries be-
fore the reptiles We're killed.
In the hall are the quarters of the
police and the RENE and the office
of the village clerk. The snakes
which are thought to have gained en-
trance to the building some time tho
preceding night, were not seen when
the clerks Office was opened, but soon
after the Misses Florence Barley, Lii
liam Leichsenrig and Sadie Cole. the
clerks assistants. had begun their du-
ties for the day the reptiles crawled
out. They were not noticed until
they reached the middle of the room:
then with screams the young women
sought refuge on the tops Of their
desks.
Policeman Fred Schwall ran in
from the police quarters to learn the
u of their cries. and was momen-
tarily alarmed when he saw the three
snakes coiling in the center of the
floor.
With shots from his revolver and
blows with a club he soon killed
them. They proved to be of the
harmless species.

THE OATS MARKET.

Oats have started to Minneapolis
markets from the new crop with the
offerings largely new grain. A large
crop is grown in the northwest and
harvested. Considerable of the grain
is stacked with a very small part Of
1t threshed from the shock and from
that part the arrivals are coming.
In parts Of the northwest the catchy
rains that fell before the t%hreshing
put some Of the grain out Of condi-
ton or at least with too much mois-
ture. Oats and barley are yielding
heavily In Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The oats condition as found by the
government is about nine per cent
above 1911. with Iowa the greatest
oats state leading with Illinois and
North Dakota coming in as a good
second. The movement Of oats to
Minneapolis for the week aggregated
FOG cars against 90 cars that came in
in h corresponding week Of 1911.
This indicates fairly a larger crop Just
harvested. The past week was more
favorable for stocking and farmers
are actively at work to get the grain
in stack when it may be better saved.
Prices are on the down grade as they
have been for this grain all the har-
vest season or since the yield has been
largely determined. Prices are down
some 2 cents or more during the
week. While present values. average
ing under 80 cents. seem low in COM
parison with the high prices during
the marketing Of the preceding crop,
conditions seem to justify it.
