GRAIN TRADE NEWS.

The past week has seen fair advance
in prices of both wheat and corn. March
and May options are both &c higher on
wheat and cash prices on car lots show
from to 10 cents advance. This fact is
reflected in large numbers of shipping
notices from the country. Topeka dealers
report more purchases in the last two days
than they did in the last two weeks prev
iouS. Farmers seem little more inclined
TO sell and country stations report more in
quiry from farmers which would indicate
that little further advance would bring
out considerable wheat from first hands.
This would seem to apply mainly to this
section of the country however, as primary
only 93s,000 bushels yesterday against l.
234 600 bushels q year ago. The exporters
continue to take some wheat every day and
at the present rate our surplus will soon
million bushels surplus left for export and
is reported as making new sales every day.
Local mills report no improvement in
domestic demand for flour but that they
are getting more inquiries from abroad.
One Topeka mill reports two sales of flour
this week to go to the Continent and eX-
pecty ITO complete further business next
week. The Northwestern Miller reports
flour production in the United States the
past week as &c per cent of capacity, which
last report. This still reflects a losing
proposition for the mills however, as they
must run well over 80 per cent of available
time to even make expenses.
Reports of green bug damage to the
wheat of Texas and Oklahoma have been
prevalent in the past week and some re-
ports from the same cause have come from
as far north as Southern Missouri. A few
complaints of damage from freezing and
thawing continue to come from Kansas but
it is thought that no serious damage has
resulted as vet. c. L. PARKER,
Secretary Topeka Board of Trade.

DELAY PEACE PACT
Reparatiops Demanded b,
Poles. Anger Soviet Russ.
Not Eighty, But Thirty Million,
and No Gold Offered.

Warsaw, Feb. IA final peace
agreement between Poland and Russia
remained uncertain today, soviet rep
resentatives refusing to meet the rep
arations demands of the Poles.
Polish delegates have stood out for
eighty million rubles in gold. The
Russians protest violently against that
amount, declaring it was confiscatory
and exorbitant. They offered to pay
thirty million rubles but not in gold.
Notes, concessions and materials would
have to serve, they declared.
Other Polish officials left for Riga
today to join the conference. 1t was
believed here a compromise might be
reached. Meantime, careful watch
was kept on the concentration of
troops along the Lithuanian border.
Polish officials declared their belief
that Russia is attempting to drag out
the conference until the weather is
more favorable for a military move

reported at all points turnout this part

that large quantity of eggs are being held

Further reports about prospective crop
damage from green bugs together with
assertions that the pest had been found in
Illinois, led to additional upturns later
