The ocean freight on wheat from Argen-
tina TO England today was equal to $1.09
bushel, cents lower than yesterday.
A BroomhaI1 cable says Russian reserves
OF wheat are $40 million bushels, and would
be much greater but for losses for want
OF adequate storage and large local con-
sumption.
The French government has ordered
millers to run so per cent of the wheat
berry into flour, instead of q per cent as
heretofore. In the United States the aver
age is about 20 per cent.
Exports from the United States and Can
ada today were 1885,, 600 bushels OF wheat,
5000 barrels Of flour, 1000 bushels of corn,
1872 900 bushels Of oats: wheat and flour
combined. 1y2gs,0 600 bushels.

Threshing returns, to date confirm the

Northwestern Miller. In North Dakota the
average now appears to be five to eight
bushels of wheat per acre, weighing 42 to
81 pounds. Many feel that the estimate of
100 million bushels for the three states 10
too high.

by the movie fans. But first, last and
all the time he is against the Kansas
censorship and when the Kansas City
film pleaded for stars he came to aid
if possible in the fight against the
states censor law. Travers is proud
of the growth of the movie picture in
