threshed for C. B. George in Center
township, starting IN the first thing
on Monday morning. This busy out
fit threshed the old e. K. Wilson ring
last week, and reports an odd field
running as low as bushels, the range
mostly being from 10 to Is bushels,
with now and then a field making
around 20. They are to thresh one of
the Dock Thomas rings this week.
The mill at Hagerstown reports the
demand for flour as only fair. No
oats have been received at the mill
so far on this crop, but between 10000
and IL 900 bushels of wheat have come
in to date They were paying $1.13
for wheat all day on Monday but said
they were likely to shade this a trifle
on Tuesday, owing to the let down in
prices at central markets since Satur-
day.
A little rye has been received at the
Green's Fork elevator, not more than
800 bushels, as yet. They were bid
ding SLOT for rye on Tuesday. The
manager of the elevator reports a fair
percentage of No l wheat and says
they paid s1.15 for No. 2 Monday fore
noon. He says that the oats coming
are rather light and have been bought
! for 80 cents, mostly. He indicated
| that $110 would be about the best he
could pay for wheat on Tuesday, I'M
| less his bids came in higher than ex-
| pected Nearly $4,000 bushels have
been bought at Green's Fork.
| Changes in Wheat Prices
The wheat market slowed down 10
| cally and the price dropped as much
| as 3 cents per bushel at various points
in the Richmond radius on Monday
! afternoon. The Richmond Roller
mills paid S113 for wheat taken in
Monday forenoon, and dropped to
S1.1O in the afternoon. This also was
the record at the Champion mills ele,
vator, we understand. Charles Car
penter said Monday evening that he
had quoted farmers who were to
thresh on Tuesday, S1.10 for that day S
| deliveries, or for their crops, as the
| case might be.
July wheat which ranged from
,s1.17A to 1854 at Chicago last week
and which sold up to S1.32 on Satur'
day, made top to s1.291a on Monday
and closed at S1.261a. This very nat
urally affected country markets, sew
eral Of which lowered their prices. We
are having a weather market Just
now, not only on wheat but on al
small grains.

that the bulk of the wheat in his
immediate neighborhood already i:
threshed and that some rigs are nov
in the oats fields. He stated thai

he could afford to pay at this time
Threshing rates vary in Preble, whea
charges being and 71a cents and OF
oats 4 to Az cents per bushel, ma
chine measure. Wheat is running
from 10 to Is bushels" said MI
Schlientz, land we paid $1.15 for Nc
