DOLLAR CORN HITS
OMAHA EXCHANGE
Highest Mark Ever Attained by
Cereal in Actual Cash Sale
i, on This Market.
WHEAT ADVANCES LITTLE

Dollar corn has arrived, not the op
ton, but the. real corn. A carloa
of it sold at 81 per bushel on the
floor Of the Omaha Grain exchang,
yesterday. The corn that fetche(
this record price was No. , yellow
of last years crop, grown in Ante
lope county, Nebraska.
Omaha grain dealers have talked
dollar corn. but none OF them hav,
ever seen any of it before and few O
them have expected the cereal to
reach this price. Some of the Oldest
among the old-time grain men assert
that during the war of the rebellion,
between 1861 and 1864 corn sold al
81 per bushel. but never before, or
since, Now that it has hit the dol
lar mark, they are not making any
predictions relative to future prices.
On the whole, corn was H@2H
cents higher, the bulk of it selling
around 96@9S cents per bushel. Re
ceipts were twenty-five carloads.
Wheat Advances.
Wheat prices failed to score a new
top price, but they reacted and ad-
vanced 2H@4 cents over the slump of
Wednesday and Thursday. They
firmed up during the early hours OF
the session of the exchange and con-
tinued hard up to the close, advancing
near to the top of the early days OF
the week.
Receipts again were fairly heavy
there being lol carloads on the mar
ket. Prices for cash were $1.77HM
l,8l and the demand strong from both
millers and exporters. Continued re-
ports of short crop in Argentina, it
was asserted, in large measure was
responsible for the sharp advance in
the market.
Durum made another advance and
came close to the top price, selling at
$l.82 per bushel. The top is about
a cent better than this price and was
reached early in the week.
Oats is Strong.
Oats, like all other kinds of grain,
was strong, the advance being A@1A
cents per bushel, the sales being made
at 49N@5lH cents. Receipts were
sixty-twof carloads, a large quantity
of the grain being taken for shipment
south for feeding and to the Iowa
cereal mills for grinding.

$1.60 BUsHEL TO GROWERS

With the end OF the present week,
the Nebraska potato harvest will
come to an end. While no figures are
available on the yield, it is known
that it will be fully up to the normal,
if not greater. 1t is asserted that the
yield per acre has not been so great
as during some past years, but the in
creased acreage will bring the total
yield up to that of any former year.
Up in the potato growing section
of the state-the northwest portion
farmers have been getting more for
their potatoes than ever before, Also,
on account of the recognized excel
lent quality of Nebraska potatoes,
they have gone. further from home
than ever before.
Nashville Alliance, Hemingford,
Chadron Gordon and Hay Springs
have come to be the gratest potato
shipping stations in the United States,
and this year buyers from nearly
every state in the union have been
lHClC DluulllS VII Inv Iiop anu Soili-
peting sharply for the offerings.
Up to and including October a.,
these stations in Nebraska had sent
out 1854 carloads, or around $780,
600 bushels. OF course there are a
good many potatoes yet to move, but
the bulk of the crop has gone for
ward, generally having been bought
by commission men.
Net Profits Good.
This year the potato crop has made
the growers some good money. 1t is
estimated that the yield has been in
excess of 100 bushels per acre, and
that the price has averaged in excess
of ST per bushel; delivered at the load
ing stations. In addition to this,
these potatoes have been grown on
land that has been fetching from $50
to SIS per acre.
The early sales on potatoes did not
net the growers 81 per bushel, yet
there were not many sold at these
, prices. Soon after digging Nebraska
potatoes commenced, it became ap-
parent that generally, outside of this
state, the crop was going to be short.
This fact stimulated the prices and
the Nebraska potatoes commenced to
advance, soon reaching 81 and better
per bushel. ....
AT this time, at the Nebraska ship
ping stations in the northwestern
part of the state, growers are getting
$l.35 to SLIGO per bushel, and are
