BINDER TWINE WILL BE HIGH

BINDER TWINE WILL BE HIGH
The Independent is informed that
binder twine will cost all the way from
20 to rs cents a pound the present
year. Last year it was sold locally at
from II to 13 cents. First grade ma
Mia rope costs wholesale in New York
% Ia cents per pound and it will have
to retail in this vicinity at around 81
cents pound. Undoubtedly, one of
the reasons for the advances Of binder
twine is the sisal monopoly in Mexico.
At first it was believed that the big
corporations of this country lad their
fingers in the pie, but it is some COM
fort to know that this is not the case.

Wonderful Electric Fly Killer.

Chester G. Hoover has returned
from Spokane, Wash, where he made
to represent the Electric
Sanitary Fly Killer in North Dakota.
Mr.. Hoover is now demonstrating
these wonderful eradicators of one of
our greatest pests. An electric at

to the attachment by some sweet sub
stance and they are killed instantly.
This is one of the greatest inventions
of the age.

PRICES ARE OFF
IN WHEAT AGAIN
Market Dragging Gradually
Lower-Cash Premiums
Are Holding Firm

i Chicago, May 24.-Wheat: Prices
were off again today, the market drag
ging gradually lower with scattered
selling on weakness in coarse grains
Cash premiums hold firm, but as no
new buying is permitted, this fact does
not affect the market much. Weather
conditions are very favorable and re-
ports from the northwest are decided
~ optimistic. Foreign news indicates
liberal offerings from Australia and
india with more optimistic estimates
from America.
Corn: There was considerable scat
tered liquidation in corn today and
prices have shown a material recession.
Weather and crop conditions are excel
lent and this is counteracting the ef-
feet of the strong cash market which
is largely local proposition due to
the small stocks and the competition
for offerings on part of local buyers.
Eastern demand is reported slow. With
good weather, the crop conditions are
likely to exert good deal of bearish
influence.
Oats: Crop news was the dominat-
ing feature and there has been active
selling of July. Scattered liquidation
has been followed by much local short
The outlook for a tremendous crop at
the present time is bright and with
fairly liberal stocks and no scarcity
anywhere the heavy tone of the market
is easily understood.
ts-Provisions: Hogs 10 to ID cents
higher Cash trade fair and packers
were buyers on the breaks. Easier
grain markets checked the buying de-
mand. Chas. e. Lewis & Co.
