Railroad indicate an average yield of
1923 bu wheat In Minnesota, oats Al
blu and barley 27.5 bu These come
mainly from the southwestern part of

Broomhall predicts that much Of the

Chicago, Aug. l2.-Buyers Of wheat

orders to purchase came into play, and
there was enough demand from pit
spectators to cause lively rally Of

siderable to do with the decline here,
but the main reason was the continued
uncertain outlook for resumption Of
export trade from the United States.
After starting Y to " and the set back
becoming general to nearly the ex-
treme figures, there was gradual re-
action all around.
Lack Of support led afterward to re-
newed weakness for q while. The Sep

however, were firm at y to 7sc under

Members of Famous Old War
Time Musical Organization
Hold Fifty-third Reunion

Marietta. Pa, May "A notable
reunion was held to-day at the home
of Frederick Wettig. in Lancaster.
when the anniversary of the fifty-third
year of their being mustered out of
service as members of the First Penn
sylvania Volunteer Band was held. In
later years after the war they were
familiarly known as Clemens Famous
Band. The band was in numerous en-
gagements, having accompanied the
First Pennsylvania Volunteers, which
participated in the fights for bridges
between York and Baltimore, Martins
burg, Frederick city and other places.
They were mustered into service at
Camp Curtin, Harrisburg. One of the
resolutions adopted was that they meet
annually now until the ranks are de-
pleted, and as the majority reside at
Lancaster it will be held next year on
the third Monday in April in that city
The survivors of the band are George
G. Myer, Coatesville; Herman Neu-
