Inasmuch as one Of the principal
fears in the stock market of a month

part of the reserve banks, this was
an encouraging development in the
speculative situation. At the same
time the apparent assurance that the
tendency toward rising money rates

Regarding the immediate Wall

a month ago, when excitement had
been worked up to a high pitch over
the rapid rise in prices and the most
absurd predictions were being made
as to where stocks were likely to

In other words. people of impor-

ton from winter to spring. marked
this weeks butter market. The gen
eral trend was toward lower prices
At all times there appeared q suf-
hcient supply and generally a small
surplus that was hard to move be-
cause of the utter lack of con-

The narrow range between scores
and unusual relation of market prices

markets complained of the scarcity
of undergrades and of the surplus of
top scores. The range between S8 and
30 score never exceeded cents and
seldom reached that figure
That condition was brought about
largely by better quality butter man
ufactured and the scarcity of storage
butter. Foreign and far western but
ter did not play so important a part
as last week, but their influence still
tended to keep the markets unsettled
Wholesale prices on 90 score stock

advance in grain values this week.
Wheat. corn and oats all touched new
high-price records for the season.
Compared with week ago, wheat
this morning showed 3ts to As ad-
bushel,; oats. 6s to IL, and pro-
visions, to 80.
Estimates were current that the
yield of wheat in Nebraska this sea
son would be only half of last years
total, and experienced observers
agreed that the crop in the main
wheat-growing section of the state
was in a very critical condition.
Other reports indicated heavy losses
in western Kansas, as well as seri-
Gus damage in Ohio and Indiana.
Prospects that spring seeding would
be abnormally late in the northwest
and the acreage much reduced tended
also to stimulate buyers and to keep
the market on the upgrade, despite
temporary setbacks due to heavy
profit-taking.
Complaints of scarcity of farm
labor came from widely separated
districts and received considerable
notice as a bullish factor in regard
