Chicago, Oct. 29-Wheat-The shorts
in our market were not given much
comfort by the action of Winnipeg
October wheat, on which they had de-
pended for help on the bear side. This
with bullish foreign news and consid-
cradle investment buying. resulted in
a sharp upturn in values. Shorts were
the best buyers on the advance. The
failure Of spring wheats arriving here
to grade contract also has been dis
tinctly disappointing and has led to
caution on the part of sellers of the
nearby delivery. More satisfactory
trans portation facilities and the better
banking arrangements between North
America and importing countries is
probably giving US an advantage.
Corn-The strength IN wheat and
rumors Of export business gave firm
tone TO corn early. Northwestern
points were reported TO be buying corn
and bidding in Iowa. Despite bullish-
| ness cash corn was heavy both here
and in Minneapolis and towards the
| close prices declined TO little better
than last nights final figures. Country
offerings were liberal and indications
point TO increased receipts.
] Oats~A big export business in oats
| held that market firm. Sample values
| reflected the improved export and oats
on spot were quoted l1ds4 cents

Provisions advanced on buying by
| packers, especially of the nearby de-
| livery. Improvement in cash trade is
! given as the reason for this support

Cattle.
The call for cattle was poor.
Pennsylvania action in modifying
its embargo against Chicago to per-
NIT shipments to pass thru that state.
is the entering wedge in reopenins
shipping demand to the east.
Several OF the eastern states. not
ably Pennsylvania and New York, will
not allow stock TO be unloaded within
their borders. Thus the Pennsylvania
orders. while they may permit stock
to be shipped from here to New Eng
lang. will have to be followed by con-
cessions from New York state in order
to make this possible. Strenuous ef-
forts were reported to be under way
in the east by slaughterers there seek
ing to re-establish shipping to New
York early next week, but no strong
hope for success was held out
Conditions generally are not such as
warrant optimism in the trade other
than for the prime grades OF handy
and yearling steers. Until the shipper
outlet is reopened big cattle can only
be used in short volume and while
few prime heavy steers cashed well
this week, it was due alone to their
scarcity. AS respects the rank and
tle Of steers off grass and short feed
OF corn. the fact that heaviest range
runs Of the year are coming now pre-
cludes good market since the west
ems are cashing at lower rates. and
the combined volume Of medium ma
tives and range cattle Is too heavy to
afford a good outlet as long as the
western points continue to be surfeited
with cheap and medium grades.
Sheep.
The call for sheep and lambs was
only fair.
There were many good to choice lots
to be had, but the main complaint
from buyers vas the shortage Of the
65 to IS pound offerings OF best quail
ity. Sellers were compelled to peddle
the heavy offerings at all times and
some buyers refused to take them at
any price. while other purchased them
at a sharp discount. but considered
them dear even then. Receipts were
as large as expected and proved bur-
densome for the trade requirements.

Anoth.r F.yette County Sale.

West Union. Oct. 2s.--The sale OF Nj.
d. Thompson's farm at the southeast
corner Of West Union for $4,000 to I.
r. Dunn stands as the biggest cash
sale Of real estate on record In Fayette
county SO far as we are informed.
And not only that, but this is the third
time that the same farm has made the
record OF changing ownership at the
highest price ever paid UP to that time
for a farm in the county. It was SOLO
by Hon. w. E. Fuller to Jacob Yearous
in 1903 for $50 an acre. or s25,o6O total
for 3s2 acres. Mr.. Yearous kept the
east eighty acres and sold 242 acres
10 Mr.. Thompson in 1910 for sl2o an
acre. the total being s30.250. And now
Mr.. Thompson disposes of the 2i2
acres to Mr.. Dun for $4,000 even,
which figures at the rate Of $163.50 an
acre.
A nice feature of the deal H that
Mr.. Thompson receives every dollar OF
the purchase price on Nov. 10. Mr..
Dunn takes possession of the farm ana
all outpuildings on Nov. Is, but MT.
Thompson retains possession OF the
residence till March l.
This place is considered one OF the
best farms in Fayette county.

Farm Brine. $4,000 At Auction.
sse 90 For 4ee Acres.

West Union, Oct. % A cash auction
sale Of a 240-acre farm for $4,000. or
$125 an acre, was the unusual event IN
real estate circles that came to pass
in West Union. when the old Bopp
homestead, two miles north OF Hawk
eye, was sold to four OF the Bopp
brothers for the sum named. Inc
place is a good one, carrying good
set Of improv ements. and will be still
further improved by the owners. who
may rent or sell 1t.
The sale was made by order OF court
by A. ]. Quincy, cashier OF the STATE
Bank Of West Union, acting in the dual
capacity of referee and auctloneer.
The place was first offered In separate
forties. and no bids were made. Tnen
the entire place was offered In one
piece. and Col. j. w. Bopp. acting TOT
the four brothers made bid OF $So.ooV,
and no one raised the bid. so Mr.. Cur
new got to knock down the property
without wearing out his throat III
urging bidders against each other.
The place has been held in common
for many years, since the death OF MI
and Mrs. Bopp, by their numerous sons;
and daughters. They having lately
failed to agree on the best course to
be pursued in renting or selling, they
got an order of court for its sale and
partition, and the auction on last Sat
urday afternoon was the result. Inc
four brothers who purchased the prop
erty were ]. W. Bopp. Of West Union:
