FARMERS NOT SELLING WHEAT

FARMERS NOT SELLING WHEAT
The farmers of Wayne and all
ne%ighboring counties have about quit
selling wheat; principally because the
bulk of their crops have already been
sold, and at higher than present pr
ces, or have gone into store. Then
there is some wheat in stack and a
percentage in barns for fall threshing,
as convenient.
There are, however, points in
Wayne where no wheat has been put
into elevator storage. and where
mighty little wheat is held On the
farms. One of the Preble county ell
evators said last Friday that 1900
bushels had been brought in for stor-
age within two days, and it is also
a fact that several elevators over that
way are holding stored wheat in rath-
er large quantities.
The Farmers elevator at Camden
has considerable wheat in storage and
this is true of the Eikenberry eleva-
tors at that point. To the contrary,
Glen Karn, the elevator point for
williamsburg, reported but a single car
of wheat in the building, and none on
storage.
A load or two of wheat was taken
in at the Farmers elevator at Camden
On Monday forenoon, at a cost of 81
cents. The price was lowered in the
afternoon, because of the break at
central markets. One load was taken
in Hagerstown on Monday for which
95 cents was paid. Several points re,
ported no grain of any kind taken in
during last half of past week.
The Milton Grain company said:
There is nothing doing in grain iust
now, but if we had coal we could do
considerable business. A number OF
our farmers and townsfolk ere getting
anxious TO lay in a supply of fuel and
we are getting inquiries from day-to.
