Cash interests were fair buyers Of

west advanced cents a bushel. In
Kansas City, however, values were
slightly lower. and at the seaboard the
market was barely steady, owing to an
absence of export demand.
British buyers were again out OF the
market, and there was little or no in

the Kansas State Board of Agriculture
placing the crop in that state at l47,-
600, 900 bushels, compared with last
months estimate of 10000 600, was
partially responsible for the early

the losses claimed IN the spring wheat
region by black rust.
There were numerous reports re

women's apparel field, have been ad-
vlsed by their organization leaders to
stop the cutting-up of more cloth for
garments for the fall season for the
