Normally there Is one crown To each

Will be formed on each plant: some

some sections practice removing tho

This Subrosa manner OF doing bust
ness doubtless has been brought about
by the sensational price changes in
wheat during the past few weeks. Large
quantities of wheat have been sold to
go out Of the various markets Of the
country, and this is the case especially
with the markets on the lakes II is
likely, with the opening of navigation,
that there will be a rush of wheat from
interior elevators to points OF distribu-
ton, as large part Of the grain in
the country houses Is owned by en-
porters. Mllers' purchases have been
comparatively small and stocks Of
wheat now in their hands are known to
be quite large.
The weather in the Argentine Rcpub-
lie is more favorable for the movement
of wheat and ii Is expected that ship
mcnts from that country will increase
from this time forward. That wheat
will come in direct competition with
the wheat from North America and In
