One of the chief objections to
prohibition a few years ago was
that those persons then engaged
in the manufacture and sale of
liquor and beer would suffer for
Jobs and that corn would have
insufficient market. But il has

is work for all the liquor labor

That is 1--WE want to drink it. -

Open Grain Market
Resumed in Winnipeg
Interests Dealers

Local dealers in wheat and growers
were keenly interested today in the
report from Winnipeg of the reopen
ing Of the open market for grains
there. Yesterd Y was the first time
'.nce war began that wheat has been
sold ON that basis on the North Am
erican continent.
Bids yesterday did not quite reach
the Chicago basic price of $2.2s, which
indicates that the demand for the new
crop wheat is not yet heavy. Octo-
ber wheat was hid as high as s2.20.
" Nhile Decembec went to s2.25 at one
time.
The price offered at Winnipeg In Il
measure affects the situation here as
an offer of more than basic price
there would cause "a premium to be
offered growers locally. so far no
large dealers have been reported
where a pemium Is offered.
