Years ago the Boston market re-

carcass and the manner of dressing
them. The tail and wing feathers, and
a ruff around the neck were allowed
to remain. Ever since then geese
dressed in that style r termed Dos

Notwithstanding 20 the latest re-
ports from crop experts, there seems
20 DO every prospect Of the new win
ter wheat acreage equalling. if not
exceeding, the area planted in 1914,
which was about 42,000.000 acres. Re-
ceipts at primary points continue 70
increase moderately. and there ap-
pears TO be every reason 20 believe
that the marketing has been on a
more liberia scale than indicated BY
the statistics. Some authorities are
quite confident that stocks at mills
and in country elevators are liberal.
The amount OF wheat in farmers
hands in Oklahoma is estimated at %
per cent OF the crop. compared with
40 per cent in October.
Corn.-The market was heavy earlv
in the day, and at one time prices
were down sc to 7sc from the previ-
Gus close. Toward the close shorts in

OF new corn from the farms were n
depressing factor. Farmers are show.
ing pronounced disposition 70 sell
new corn for early shipment in order
10 procure the high premiums pre-
vailing. The offers are largely of low
grade corn which will have to be con-
ditioned by artificial means before il
can be delivered. Old cash corn was
very strong. High grade new corn
commanded good premiums over IRE
vailing prices of futures. The Srow
report made the Indicated Weld of
corn 3,2s0.o00.000 bushel. and the
quality 1913 per cent, while Clement.
Curtis & Co. make the indicated cron
3.ls2 100000 and place the quality at
