THE MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAIN REVIEW OF
FRIDAYS MARKET

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The wheat mar
ket went booming upward again yes
terday, following the lead of Winnt-
peg which, like this market. was af-
fected by renewed pessimlsm OF
Canadian crop reports as made by eX-
perts of private houses A rumor
gained currency that the Canadian
government would commander the
crop, but this was denied at Winni-
peg At the top yesterday prices here
were up five cents and the close was
1-2 to IA over Thursday. Corn
advanced l IA to 3-4 cents in sym
pathy with wheat and reports OF
further hot weather. BuIl1sh crop ad-
vices helped oats. which jumped l to
l IA cent. Provisions closed Is to
80 cents over Thursday.
There was nothing Startllngly new in
the reports Of damage to the Cana
dian crop, but the confirmation of the
gloomy outlook apparently added in
6uential converts to the bull position
and the result was a big, broad market
which absorbed heavy profit taking
saEes almost without a culver until
near the close when a cent was con-
ceded from the top. Cash premiums
advanced to the highest of the season
with a good export demand and light
offerings. France added to the bull en-
thusiasm, advices on the crop Of that
country pISNlIS II d l'u'vOV'OOV Duoll

''SPEED TRAP"
AT DILWORTH
CATCHES THIRTY

sired Results and is

Dilworth Street No Longer

REALSPEEDERS NOT CAUGHT

After two days of successful work
Ing OF Dtlworth's speed trap" in
which between twenty-five and thirty
Moorhead and Fargo autoists were ar
rested and fined for violating the Dill
worth speed limit, authorities of that
village today announced that their
present method of stopping the speed
ers had been suspended for the time
being.
The reckless manner in which some
of the auto owners had been driving
through the main street of DilWorth,
which is on the Moorhead-Detroit
highway, caused the officials Of that
city to take some decisive action in
remedying the situation. Their meth
cd was to time the drivers travelling
through their city and fine each one
going over fifteen miles an hour
j. M. Manning Of the Dilworth State
bank, being one Of the city officials,
had charge Of the plan and he says it
worked out to perfection. He states,
however, that some of the auto owners
wanted for speeding through Dilworth
were not nabbed. He referred to those
travelling at a rate of thirty and forty
miles an hour and explained that the
present system Of enforcing the speed
ordinance would not be continued, but
that those insisting of violating the
law would be arrested.
Mr.. Manning says that since they
started a rigid enforcement of the
speed law autoists have been exceed
ingly careful in passing through the
city. He says the citizens Of Dilworth
do not wish to be indignant over the
matter but that they wish fair treat
ment from autoists visiting their city
and will not permit the main street to
be used for a race track 1t is likely,

Eveninn Grain Lettar.

Chicago. - Wheat: Market today
recorded high figures for the crop.
Trade was enormous with heavy profit
taking sales being readily absorbed by
shorts and a new set of investment
buyers. Northwest markets were also
sharply higher. Canadian advices are
sensatiOnally poor and threshing re-
turns are lower than generally known
by the trade. There was further indi-
cation Of foreign buying in the early
trading. We still adhere to the long
side and look for much higher prices.
Corn: An increased volume of trade
was noticeable in corn with prices
sharply higher. Southwest crop advices
were sensationally bullish and accom-
panied with buying orders. We favor
purchases of December corn on any
setback from present level.
Oats: Oats followed other grains, the
cheapness as compared with other
grains stimulating some good buying.
We feel especially friendly to the long
side of December oats,
Provisions: Free buying Of lard by
packing house interests again con-
spicuous feature in provisions and al
though heavy retaliation took place
prices worked high all around, closing
strong at these advances. - Chas. E.
Lewis g. Co.
