Chicago. Aug. 1S.-Bull leaders in
wheat see nothing to induce them to
change their position and are strong
believers in higher prices. Small trad
ers who have been bullish and long
and who have tried to follow the lead
ers are generally dropping out because
Of the failure of prices to advance into
new ground Underlying principles on
which the wheat advance is based have
become stronger as threshing returns
in the northwest indicate the neces-
sity Of reducing the estimated crop fig
ures next month. A point made by a
corn bear is that no corn be delivered
in December at five cents discount.
With December selling at 70 cents 1t
will mean 65 cents for November which
is considered a high price. The sea-
board sold 100000 bushels Of wheat
yesterday for export also 100000 bush
els Of good oats. Sales Of wheat in

THE MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAIN REVIEW OF
THURSDAYS MARKET

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Wheat broke
sharply during the last few minutes
of trading yesterday. Winnipeg pro-
vided the chief bearish influence. and
the timidity of buyers was at all
times apparent. The caution Of the
latter was due in part to anxiety over
the railroad situation. Closing prices
Late deliveries of corn dropped 38
cent and oats finished is to IA cent
down. Provisions were dull and clos
ed unchanged to 27 IL cents lower.
The volume of trade in wheat de-
creased to a marked extent. due to a
large extent to anxiety over the rail-
road strike situation.
The trading developed the absence
of any considerable short interest.
The shorts sent prices up for a mo-
ment early, but with this demand out
of the way prices sagged. All eyes
were on Winnipeg. One report had it
that an attempt was being made to
depress that market for the purpose
of buying in at concessions in other
marts. Crop reports from the Canad-
ian northwest were conflicting. Ap
parently an effort was being made to
counteract the effect of crop damage
reports by private experts. The true
story, it was said, would be known
only with threshing returns. For
elgnerS were on bOth SIDES OF the
market here and at Winnipeg. Thresh-
ing returns from the Dakotas were
said to show yields of but to 10
bushels to the acre.
Corn was fractionally higher early,
but weakened with wheat. Septem-
ber, being congested. was an excep-
ton, and closed IA up, with little
trade. The statistical situation was
considered bullish, but trading was
light.
Commission houses sold oats on the
bulge, but the market was on the
whole a dull and narrow affair. The
cash demand was reported fair. Three
hundred thousand bushels were sold
at the seaboard for export
fair cash business was transact
ed in provisions, but futures were dull
and colorless, with prices ranging
lower in sympathy with lower hold
ings.

her death. Through her entire sick
ness, although she suffered greatly, she
never gave up and to the nurses and
doctors she kept CHEEKY appearance,
not seeming to be troubled with her
illness. She had the kind and loving
qualities that made her a host OF
friends who will share with her family

as dry land dredges or steam shovels.
This drainage project is the largest
single one ever undertaken in the
county, although at the present time
Cass county has several hundred
miles Of bitches. 1t is estimated that
the system will reclaim over 100000
acres Of land"
The plan also contemplates the re-
pair of Leonard drain No. Is, plac-
ing it in it's original condition and
making it a part of the big system.
This drain is located directly north
of the town of Leonard.
Engineer Crabbe had plans of the
system made, showing that the drains
will be located in the townships OF
Mapleton, Durbin, Addison, Warren,
Normanna and Davenport. In speak
ing OF the value of this proposed sys-
tenn Engineer Crabbe stated that
that three towns would be benefited
Davenport, Kindred and Mapleton,
and that not only the farm
land, but these towns and the three
railroad systems in the area would be
greatly benefited.
The indications are that this sys-
tenn will be put through by the prop
erty owners of the portion of the
county affected, the Davenport meet
ing showing that there were only a
few who were opposed to the project.
According to information little trou-
BILE is being experienced in securing
signatures to the petitions, although
not much of this work has been done
so far.

county will be heard today and to-
morrow and that all are opposed to this
proposed increase in valuation. While
the matter has not been decided by
the board of equalization Mr.. Tucker
was of the private opinion that the
increase would not be made. He put
the matter up strongly from this
county, as a representative of the
taxpayers, pointing out that last year
lands were valued at 1885 and that
the county board mad voluntarily
made a raise Of about per cent. He
also pointed out that increase of 70
per cent would bring the assessed val
uation of lands in this county up to
$12.4S, which would produce much
more money than was needed under
present leVieS.

The Canadian news yesterday was bet

Corn: Generally clear and warmer

Oats: The oats market looks strain
