OMAHA. Jan. 81, 1914
The farmers OF tho country are geuer-
ally well posted on the CROWNS crops,
and this fact was reflected not only yes
terday, but Tor several previous days. by
the increased offerings OF wheat from not
only Nebraska, but several other states
Mhere II has been said all along that
the surplus held was light The Interior
holders of this grain have banked on the
POSSIBILITY OF crop scare and conse-
quent sharp upturn in wheat-both cash
and futures While we are lust entering
the month OF February and there Is
likelihood of much cooler weather, the
prospects at 1.-THE moment are ideal

this wholly on domestic account, as the
foreign bids too far away.

was heavy during much of the day and
closed with losses of %Qhc. The cash
trade was small with sales here OF only
$4,000 bushels, and this in itself was a
drawback to the position OF the bulls. The
cash situation in all the markets was
quite dull and prices were lower. Cror
