derwent setbacks today to fresh
bottom records, wheat falling fur

since 1906. Reports indicating big
crops of wheat in southern hemi-

displayed relative strength most of
the time, but finally gave with

is but little higher now than last
July, when the corn was expected
to turn out virtually billion bu-
shells larger than is now being

No Export Demand
Wheat values went to pieces

trading. At that stage, selling out
of stop losses on the part of hold
ers of future deliveries attained
much increased momentum and
there was greater significance be-
there was greater significance be-
ing attached to persistent dearth
of any important European de-
mand for wheat from North Am

strued as Ringing largely on Off

would probably have wheat
crop of 210,0OO,0OO bushels com
pared with 123,000,00O bushels
last year.
Such big yield of wheat in
Australia this season would be
100000 bushels more than the
latest previous estimates. Mean

Argentina was excellent. 1t was
admitted, however, that the wealth

WOulO sweep 10 power, OUT
the votes did not materi-
alize.
In the contest for United States
senator, all expectations were up
set. 1t was thot that Taylor would
run first, Galen second and Walsh
third, but it seems that the re-
publicans scratched for Walsh,
and a few Farmer-Labor voters
did the same, thus giving Walsh
first, Taylor second and Galen
third place.
1t appears that if Taylor had
not been in the race Walsh would
have carried the county up to a 8
to 1 majority. Many people are
persuaded that Walsh is a pro-
gressive. Even main street thot
he was better man than Galen.
The farmer-labor candidates
went up against the dirtiest cam
paign ever waged in the county, in
which there was nothing to low or
contemplate for the republicans to
indulge in the battle for votes and
power in the county, but in spite
of all, the farmer-labor party poll
ed a thousand straight votes,
which is splendid promise for
the future, when time gets in its
work, and National party comes
into the field as it will in 1882
with the presidential campaign.
The republicans elected their
entire legislative ticket-three far
mers against whom it can only be
said that they are republicans,
whose prestige helped to pull the
ticket over.
However, the Farmer-Labor par
ty elected Carl Hansen of Coal
ridge, County Commissioner, by a
plurality of 80 over Ed Iverson,
the republican candidate. Hansen
received 1431 to VERSIONS 1121.
Jud Matkin picked up 313 votes
for the same office. Matkin re-
ceived many scratch votes in Plen-
tywood on the part of those who
would not vote for Iverson and yet
did not want to vote for the farm
er-labor candidate. The election OF
Hansen, capable and conScien-
