little either way. Toward noon realiz-
ing operations increased to such an
extent that prices were affected and

WHEAT PRICES ADVANCE
ON LIVERPOOL ADVICES
Liberal Receipts Northwest Tend,
However, to Act as Some Offset
to the Bull Movement.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, November e7.-Wheat
prices took an upward turn today. in
fuenced somewhat by gossip that
numerous export inquiries were being
made close to working basis. Liv-
erpool advices that offerings from
Australia and Argentina were disap-
pointingly slow and that vessel rates
from both countries were difficult to
meet counted also in favor Of the bulls.
On the other hand, liberal receipts
northwest tended to act as an Offset.
Opening prices, which ranged from
a shade to y higher, were followed by
slight additional gains.
Setback for Corn.
Corn underwent a setback, owing to
cessation of the recent active demand.
Commission houses were generally on
the selling side. After opening V to y
lower, the market continued to sag.
Oats held relatively steady as re-
suit of buying orders from the sea-
board. Trade, though. was only of fair
volume.
Absence of selling pressure appeared
to be chiefly responsible for rise in
provisions. Lower quotations on hoss
were ignored.
Notlce OF an en1DaFso aL bdilihioie
against shipments from Buffalo led art
erward to a wheat reaction. The close
was weak at the same as yesterday g
finish to II lower with December Luz 12

power to effect any important rally.

NEW COUNTRY IS
 F0R THE NORTH
With Survey and Development of
 Region North of Canyon

PHOENIX, Oct. 16.-The survey and subsequent development of the vast hinterland north of the Grand Canyon may result in the creation of Ia new county, equal in resources to any in the state, according to State Land Commissioner w. A. Moeur, who has just returned from a trip through northern Arizona. On all sides the commissioner learned of the great undeveloped riches of northern Mohave and Coconino counties, and of the desire of the people that the land be opened for settlement in the near future.
 There are between a million and la million and a half acres of unsur- Iveyed land north of the canyon, said MT. Moeur yesterday, ''and a great deal of this is suitable for dry fcc--,ing or for grazing land. In the to oys, was told there are to be found many very desirable locations for small farms, where dry farming COulQ De SICCeSSIuly cdrrleu Ou
 on he riesas range cattle find l. good grazing. Once the land is sur i TeJ cd and can be taken up by the state or by individuals, there will be ! g great influx of heorle from Utah, and it is altogether likely that a new county will be created.
 There is no doubt that some cross ing of the Colorado river will be opened up and this great and but little known country connected with the rest ofArizona. Already there is splendid highway leading from St. George, Utah, to Salt Lake City, via Lund, on the railroad, and road through the country north of the can yon would be assured. Three auto stage lines are now in operation over the Utah road from Lund to St. George, but few miles north of the Arizona line.

The business outlook in Eastern Ken
lucky is improving rapidly and coal
mines and steel mills have begun work
ing more men. The indications are that
more laborers will be added as business
is increasing at all points. The lumber
industry is also looking better and by
spring all mills will be running over

the building of many miles of new rail

aid the tie work materially. and the
business outlook is much better all over
that section. Indications are that the
year will be one of the most prosperous
in many years.-Exchange
