companies A theatre according TO this
plan lie now building at the Mercersburg

actors perform IL nearly Ave feet higher

audience Is seated. The entrances are on
an incline and are separated from each

The Rise in wheat.

The weekly report OF August IS OF
II. y. Bathgate a Co. an English grain
hrm, expresses the opinion that so far as
England Is concerned prices Of wheat and
corn have risen very little on account OF
the war and are still considerably below
what has been known on many occasions
IN time or peace. IL says: The greatest
advance has taken place IN Canada and
L. 5. A. and much OF II has been due to
Misrepresentation OF the British position.
y rough summary Of the worlds crops
shows that the total for this year is not
very much below that OF last year at
this time. II seems TO he supposed in
some quarters that the war is going 10
Increase greatly the quantity required,
and while in some directions II may aug
ment the consumption In others II will
cause decrease. Altogether there seems
TO be not the slightest reason for any I'M
due excitement or any superstition that
prices will run away OF course the sit
uation may change materially from one
cause or another. but We are speaking
now OF facts as they actually exist. Later
on a good deal will depend on the result
OF the harvests In Australia and South
America, and IL these are abundant those
countries are likely to be pressing sellers
as there will be reasons why they should
he glad TO turn their liquid assets into
money. SO far as Great britain Is con-
cerned the increase In price has been
caused largely by the cessation OF tho
ordinary financial operations OF exchange
permitting the free movement OF wheat
from abroad for payment in this country
But all things considered. thers II
at the moment no apparent reason why
VIC should suffer from excessively dear
wheat and bread"

GRAIN GOSSIP

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: Cos
sip on wheat last night was rather
more bulish than bearish mainly on the
theory that there is to be an export
demand on all breaks from this level and
that the market Is likely TO run into a
crop scare soon. Sentiment In corn
and oats, especially corn. is bearish,"
Bartlett Frazier Company says:
"Wheat-We believe in taking advan-
tage of all weak spots to make pur-
chases.
"Corn-We would caution our friends
about selling on the breaks
"Oats-We advise not getting too
bearish on breaks
Professionalism weather in the west
may tend to check receipts and bring
about higher market"
Bartlett Frazier Company SAYS:
"Wheat--The situation looks healthy
TO MS and we believe in buying on all
weak spots.
"Corn--We do not see very much in
corn just now.
"Oats-There is no feature to oats"
With what looks like the coldest
weather OF the winter coming wheat
fields west Of the Mississippi, River are
generally bare In Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio the plant is fairly well protected
with snow covering.
