COUNTRY GRAIN MAN
NOW IS INCLINED TO
HOLD FOR HIGH TURN
ey WILLIAM r. sANBoRN.

The unexpected upturn in wheat, un-
expected at least to large number OF
farmers, has checked the receipts OF
wheat at all primary market points.
When wheat struck its low after
sudden decline a short time ago, only
the lack of cars prevented thousands
of farmers selling right from the ma
chimes. Being compelled to store II
these same men are inclined to hold.
This explains why it is easier to sell
wheat for export at good prices, IMAM
It Is to buy 1t from the farmer IN
addition, there were thousands OF gram
growers who early made up thelf
minds to carry wheat till the price
was more to their liking. This com
bination led to a slowing down OF re-
CENTS and also helped the advance in
price.
Wheat In Brisk Demand.
The net result is this: Exporters are
bidding the best prices OF the season.
Premiums Of 20 to % cents per bushel
over December prices, are now olo Ior
cash wheat, or for August dating, Tor
hard winter and from IS to 20 cents for
soft reds.
While the -four trade is said to be
the slowest In years, millers are pick
ing up wheat at present prices. The
reason for slow flour trade is the be-
lief Of many consumers that they will
get -four at prices much nearer pre-
war levels by waiting. In the mean
while, Minneapolis, which had lowered
prices materially some time ago, has
made two recent advances, that OF last
week being so cents per barrel on
spring patents.
Receipts Comparatively Light.
Receipts Of wheat for the season
! have so far been but 50,000,0OO bush
els, against about S0,000,000 for the
same period last year. We must not
forget, however, that, the crop was
late this season, over the middle west
ern area Kansas City has received
but so per cent as much wheat this
season, and it's wheat comes from the
early harvests of the southwest. chi
cago has taken in only one-th1rd as
much wheat this year, and receipts
continue light. Miller's supplies nave
been vanishing, but southwestern mil
lers have been holding flour down
until now. The southwest has peen
getting wheat, nearly 5000 cars Delns
hold at gulf ports or now in transit.
The fact that European reserves
are vanishing is certainty; nor VII
nany or these countries NC o'oiC
build them up greatly out OF the w.
crop surplus, while the greatest par,
of these territories will have to import
heavily, long before the next crop car
become available.
Just what may happen to wheat De
fore that time arrives we are not pre-
dieting. We don't know. survey O
the field and world conditions, DO not
however, indicate any very cneal
wheat on this crop. -,
The fact that spring wheat IN th'
northwest, and in Canada, has peei

Just how much will be determined o.

nonchalance of an Oldfeld, guiding

Headlining the Murray vaudeville
bill the first half is Ruth Curtis and
Her Five Jazz Boys. Miss Curtis is a
syncopated song bird and it doesn't
take her long to get the shoulders of
her audience swaying in unison with
her own. Her five jazz artists ex,

est song hits and there isn't a dull
moment in the. act. Piano, cornet
saxaphone, violin, drums and slide
trombone are the instruments from
which the melody artists derive their
rhythmic harmony.
The bill 10 opened by the Angelo
Amrento Duo, Italian acrobats. The
young Italians are the best tumblers
that have appeared on the local stage
for a long time. Whirling dervishes
have nothing on the boys from the
sunny Mediterranean peninsula. A
little brown dog in their act does some
rare feats and gets almost as much
applause as the actors.
The bill is completed by Ferguson

round out a bill that shows that the
theatrical winter season is going tt
