as a result Of the reopening Of a big food
manufacturing establishment which had
Price. finished strong. nc to lTc net
and May. s1.27H @127h. Oats gained hc
to NC. In provisions the outcome varied
from 10c decline to a rise Of 22c.
Highest prices in the corn market
formed the rule throughout the day, al
though there were few brief exceptions in
some cases. Besides the confidence in
spired by an important instance of sue
cess over difficulties due to the coal
strike. another stimulus to an advance In
the corn market lay in the fact that re-
ceipts Of corn here were not as large as
had been looked for. Higher quotations on
hogs together with talk of continued ex-
port demand for corn led afterward to
further upturns, and so likewise did fore
casts Of rough weather likely to interfere
with Eusl1ing and with the expeditions
movement Of the crop.
Oats averaged higher with corn, and In
view Of decreasing stocks at terminal
markets
Provisions were lifted by the upturn Of
corn and hogs, but later reacted some
what when the hog market eased down.

ANYHOW. ON SAFE SIDE.

In reporting the business of Cove last week we erred little. We said 1 five mails went thru this office to Ok lahoma It should be eight mails go thru here, and Cove expects to grow, for we have with us today men who lare looking fer lead and zinc. They have 1t spotted close to Cove and now wait for capital to develop it, and this waiting will not be long. We have real estate men who are lprepared to show farms for sale in Polk county From June 25 thru the balance of the year they expect to have two buyers for every farm in ! Folk county, so, buyers, get here ear lily and settle on the farms you want. The Jefferson highway is now prac- ltically settled and our commissioners I will proceed with active work. | This country will then be full of land buyers. They all want a loca- < tion on the Jefferson Highway, where { they can go the Fort Smith or Tex ;arkana with their marketing and get
 time for supper.
 We are going to have a bumper crop in Polk county this year ad expect a good price for all we produce.
 : We have new real estate firm that
 will flash it's shingle on the public in few days, and this new firm extends an invitation to come early and get first choice.
