Coach Rademacher Making No Claims,
But the Idaho Team Has Been Put
Through Grilling Practice

The Idaho university football team

panied by Coach Rademacher and his
assistant, NJ. Beghold, for Missoula
where the aggregation will meet the
husky team of the Montana university

team but it is expected that with some
very promising material now being de-
velaped that the Idaho team will
come forth with good record.
Montana has always been strong on
the gridiron and while the visitors
were defeated here last year, no such
walkaway is expected IN the game to

WHEAT A DRUG
ON THE MARKET
BARLEY AND OATS SHOWING UP
STRONGER BUT WHEAT HOLDS
AT NORMAL LEVEL
Grain Man Thinks Prices Will Not be
Higher, Due to High Charters
Claims Farmers Are Specializing

Though barley and oats are show
ing marked strength in the local mar
kets, the wheat market still continues
to remain at low levels and few sales
are reported during the past few
days here. 1t was learned today that
club prices range from 73 at "a cents
per bushel in the warehouse, but that
prospects for higher prices and bet
ter movement of grain seemed doubt
full.
THE slow movement of wheat at
this time is due largely to the fact
that farmers are anticipating higher
prices said a well-knoWn grain
dealer today. ''I am inclined to ad-
wise my customers to sell around the
present prices rather than to take
chances of wheat going higher as the
season advances, but Of course I
might be wrong in my advice.
Those close to the situation, es-
pecially exporters, seem chary of ta-
king on more wheat except for cash
delivery, future delivery prices be-
ing uncertain High charters has kept
the value of wheat down in the, inter
ior and / see no prospect of charters
becoming cheaper. Farmers who are
holding their grain are speculating on
the future and while they may believe
that two dollar wheat will become a
reality, those who are selling on pres
ent markets are forseeing the possi-
bility of lower prices prevailing"
