Wheat. Pronounced buoyancy pre-
vailed In wheat yesterday. A. the out
set. with the demand active and offer
ings light. an advance of cents on
May contracts occurred, while July
moved up 3"s cents Subsequently
holders OF May for the rise took in
profits and recession of ia cents en-
sued. but the close showed "a net ad-
vance of over cents. IL was clear that
there had been too much unanimity on
the bear side and the market was i'm an
oversold condition.
Many traders were giving more at
trntion TO the legitimate laws Of sup
ply and demand. They are beginning TO
realize the Importance Of the growing
scarcity at interior points. Farmers
deliveries have been decreasing through
out the West and Northwest, while
shipments TO consumers, both here and
abroad, have been large. As result
premiums on cash wheat in virtually
all markets have been raised more or
less constantly, while futures have de-
cincd somewhat violently in the re-
cent past. Exporters have bought an
enormous quantity OF hard winter at
Gulf ports at a price equivalent TO
5000, o b., or about II cents over Chi
CdEO contracts.
II view of this extraordinarily high
premium. traders are beginning TO seek
Tor enlightenment. In a word, how will
short seller Of May cover ultimately
when the premium on the cash wheat
is so great?
II was the consensus OF opinion that
between 100000 and 100000 bushels
will have been cleared from Gulf ports
between the I'd and Sth Of January,
which. added TO the clearances from
other ports, will undoubtedly result in
huge decreases in the visible supply
this month.
I'm view OF these facts there arc
shrewd and unbiased dealers who think
that wheat for May delivery is as val
liable as cash wheat for export. I'm
qucstionably they argue the supply will
be lighter in May than it is now.

Cotton

Again prices started at the bottom
and finished close to the top. The best
prices showed gains Of 20 10 40 points
while the closing figures were wlthlh
TO 8 points of those quotations. j.
vas a steady, orderly advance, based
principally on the great strength I'D
the legitimate supply and demand SIT
uation. Southern spot houses were
buyers of large quantities. while ma
terial increase was noted in the outside
speculative demand.
As usual, after substantial advances
have been established from previous
low levels. the public showed more DIS
position to participate on the long SIDE.
As a result. both commission houses
and Wall Street firms were well sup
piled with buying orders, partly from
the West. South and Southwest. Part
of the buying for Wall Street account
was said to be short covering. THIS oe-
maEd was supplemented just before
The close by the receipt Of buying or
ders from Liverpool. That market was
not open, but traders there were eVl-
IDENTIFY impressed by the sharp rise mere,
and were disposed 10 anticipate buoy
aucy in their own market Monday.
With no signs of weakness IN the
Southern spot situation. there is no
pressure of actual cotton, and hence
buyers were forced to depend for their
contracts on the offerings Of those VINO
had bought at low prices and were dis
POSED to accept their profits over sun
day.
In some quarters the general buying
was attributed TO overnight orders
based on the bullsh weekend Stats
tics sent out late on Friday. Buying
was also prompted by the decrease OF
n 600 bales in the worlds visible sup
ply. as compared with a decrease OF
81 600 bales year ago.
An interesting feature I'm the day .
business was the heavy "undong Of
straddlos" One big interest in Ala
hama, &c was said. bought May and sold
October for this purpose TO the extent
Of fully 10000 bales. this operation net
ting them n handsome profit. as the
business was done az a difference OF
no and ll5 points. whereas when the
straddlcs were first made the October
was selling al q discount of over. 200
points. These operations naturally
served to check the upturn in October,
and hence that delivery gained less
than the present crop contracts.

Holstein farm, consisting of 100
acres, from w. FL. Gold, for
which he paid S110 per acre, a
price which some of his friends
at that time thought suicidal.
Mr.. Wise recently sold this in
terest to Glenn w. Gold for $40
per acre. The Colds, father and
son, now own all of the Redwood
Holstein Farm. Mr.. Wise has
purchased from Jos. r. Keefe a
quarter section two and one-half
miles east of Redwood Falls on
the State road to Morton at S135
per acre and will take possess
sion Of that farm some time in
the spring. We are glad 70 note
farmers of this type securing
permanent homes in and near
Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Wise came to this coun-
ty from Iowa some years ago,
and with a very small portion Of
this worlds goods to start with
and by his efforts and ak ility
is enabled to purchase himself a
permanent home farm at this
time. During the last few years
he has been associated with the
Redwood Holstein Company in
the conducting of a dairy farm
and the breeding Of purebred
Holsteins. That this business
has paid might be inferred from
| the fact that Mr.. Wise is en-
abled to purchase so nice a nome
at this time and also from the
! fact that during the past twelve
months the Holstein Farm. Com
pany has made actual cash sales
from their farm Of over $10,-
900.
It is an interesting fact to
note that of all these sales but
$64.O9 of them were for grain
while the balance Of the sales
were entirely from stock and
their products. Hogs to the ex-
tent Of 81 1852 were sold, milk
and cream $2,944.88 and pure
bred Holsteins, $6,381.27. The
Gazette has had the privilege of
looking at the company's balance

in connection with the operation

in connection with the operation
of the farm from May 1, 1916,
to May /, 1917, shows as fol-
lows: labor, repairs, tnreshing,
ETC., S2,497.74; auto expense,
S184.04, feed and seed pur-
chased, S951.02, hog sire pur-
chased, $500. In view of the
very light crop had in this Vi
cinity last year this is good
showing and we believe many
of our farmers would greatly
profit by following along the
same lines of dairying and the
raising of purebred cattle. We
trust that Mr.. Wise will profit
by his past experience and es-
tablish to the east Of Redwood
Falls equally as good business
as he has been connected with
to the south Of town.
The Holstein farm company is
planning to continue the bust
ness. When farms in Redwood
County begin to make net re-
turns such as this, land cannot
stop at present prices but will
rapidly increase to the same
prices enjoyed by Illinois and
Iowa, namely, 5000 and $500
per acre. One only needs to
travel through Redwood County
and see the tremendous i'm
provements going on in the way
Of draining and thing of low
land, fencing and other improve
ments and note the thrift of our
farmers in the community to ap-
preciate the fact that Redwood
County should soon line up in
values with any county in the
United States.
