Nheat.-Thc market developed uncH-
pected strength and at the close showed
net gains Of to 3ls cents. The adj
vance was based on reports that the
British government was chartering
neutral vessels in order 10 facilitate
the movement Of grain to Europe. This
caused the trade 20 anticipate sharp
increase IN the export movement. II
wss construed TO mean that the Allied
governments intend to move grain
without regard to cost.
Export houses were said to be active
buyers in the Vest. Eastern export
ers, however. failed to confirm more
than a moderate business, total sales
being estimated at 100000 bushels at
Atlentic and Gulf ports Advices from
the West Indicted some Improvement
in shipping conditions, and it was said
that Chicago will be given more cars
for the movement of grain to the East,
as the recent allotment 10 Minneapo IS
for the movement Of flour was resclnd-
ed Crop advces from the Southwest
were again bullish and, despite the
early date. the trade is gradually be-
coming impressed by the probability OF
later reports of a low condition.

SPUD PICKERS'
WAGE FIXED

Caribou. Me-. Aug. 29-At a meeting
of a large number OF the farmers Of
Caribou held for the purpose Of taking
the sense Of the farmers concerning the
pay to be given potato pickers this fall
it was voted unanimously to offer So a
Cay or seven cents a barrel with board
subject to such notifications as the
circumstances may require in each
particular case in order to do justice
to the pickers who may come here
from the southern part Of the state.
There has been within the past week
big loss in the potato fields, due to
rust, and it is estimated that the crop
today must be discounted fully so per
cent, from the governments estimate
OF August LIST. This means that the
farmers loss will be heavy, but the
Aroostook farmer is liberal and gener-
Gus and all persons coming here from
the southern part of the state may
feel assured that our farmers will try
to use them we'll enough so that they
will come again.
Transportation rates have been pro-
mulgated by the B. & A. railroad. and
II you have not already received these
Mr.. Hall requests that you get copy
of them and publish them in connection
with this article.
Other meetings are being arranged
and during the week information will
be sent out to hundreds Of correspond
ents in southern Maine giving full
particulars.
