LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr.. Editor:

Mr. Editor:
The writer agrees with DR.. Gilbert
in his article on birds, in last weeks
Journal, that this is an unusual sea
son for warblers. The cold weather
has undoubtedly delayed their migra-
ton northward and this has given us
better opportunity for observation.
On May 81 in the little clump of
birches along the border of the second
pond on the Ritter place were seen
the Magnolia Warbler, the Black
throated Blue, the Canada Warbler,
the Black and White Creeping Warb-
Ter, the Red Start and the Cape May
Warbler. The place seemed gather
ing point for them, probably because
of the inset life near the water, and
the trees were full Of them fitting
about.
On May %, on hill road, the Red
Start, Black throated Blue, Black and
White and Bay Breasted Warblers,
the Towhee, Red-headed Woodpecker,
Indigo Bird, Yellow Warbler and
Maryland Yellow Throat were seen.
This was walking and without any
stops for observation. What was
to be a Crossbill was also
seen in a pine grove, but the identifi-
cation was not certain.
Those who are interested in Warb-
Iers will find the April number of the
April number of the National Geo
yrapic Magazine with its colored
plates most helpful in identifying
.hese shy travellers who pass through
,ur woods twice a year almost un-
noticed.
Earlier in the season a Brown
Creeper was seen, but they are rare
yisitants. Juncos were unusually
.bundant in April and remained long
r than usual.

FLOUR ST BARREL LOWER;
PIT IS ALMOST DESERTED
Minneapolis Market Attempts to Do
Business Under Rules Which
Practically ParaIyze Trading.

Minneapolis, May 16.-For the first
time in it's history the Minneapolis
wheat pit has attempted to do bust
ness under rules which practically
paralyzed trading.
Restricted in future trades to the
closing out of open transactions, trad
ers were practically limited to match
ing trades" and after the first few
minutes the Chamber of Commerce
wheat pit was almost deserted. There
was not even a censor" on duty.
All day a waiting game was played
in the cash wheat market and the mills
bought little grain. Flour prices were
IS cents to 81 a barrel lower.
Even legitimate hedges were barred
in Minneapolis, but the trade still had
protection because hedging was per-
mitted in the Chicago and Duluth mar
kets.
