REDUCTION IN wheat
ACREAGE is POSSIBLE
Lack of Rain Is Delaying the
Planting of 100000 Acres
in Winter Grain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 22.-Chances of
higher prices for wheat are centering
largely at present on possibilities of big
curtailment of United States Winter
crop acreage Southwest and West.
Trade reports indicate that without
rain soon in liberal measure the seeding
of 5000, 200 acres of territory, unmoist-
ened since September l will be greatly
reduced, and much Of the crop already
sown will go into the Winter in ex-
tremely precarious condition. On the
other hand, Southern hemisphere wheat
crops, although now at the critical
stage, promise well, with no suggestion
yet of major crop disaster this season
below the equator.
Compared to one week back, the
wheat market this morning showed al
most perfect poise, being Just 1Sa3s OF
a cent off, with corn Ha% down, oats
unchanged to 6aK4 up, and provisions
to % cents lower.
Wheat bulls put stress on the present
cheapness of wheat and on assertions
that bearish factors have been well dis
counted. 1t is also pointed out that
with the Russian crop estimated at 160,-
100000 bushels less than last years
harvest, Russia has apparently been
eliminated as an important market
influence. A further contention is that
the entire Danubian Basin may likewise
be regarded as negligible from an ex-
port standpoint. having 100000 ,00o
bushels decreased supply compared with
last year.

steady Liverpool cables was followed by
declines under Southern ceiling and
some scattering liquidation.

Commodity Price
Changes of Week

AUBURNDALE, Mass, October %.
The downward swing of commodity
prices since early October continued
last week, establishing the level per
cent above the extreme low in June.
Out of the IA individual commodity
groups, 4 we're higher, 6 lower and 4
remained unchanged.
All commodities lost half pont dur
ing the week. which was due to moder-
ate reactions in industrial commodities,
a sharp break in live stock, and declines
In hides and leather, non-ferrous
metals, and textiles both fine and
coarse.
Industrial List.
Industrial commodities again declined
but are holding we'll above the low
level noted in early September. Indus
trial activity is not forging ahead as
the vacuum which developed in distri-
buting channels of consumers goods has
been made up. There has been no ma
terial change in the employment situ-
alton or any improvement in the
status of purchasing power. The heavy
industries are dragging along at acute
depression levels. So far this month
automobile production and building &C
tivity, both reached new lows in the
unprecedented decline. Raw material
production is being held close to record
lows in an effort to reduce reserve
stocks.
Agricultural prices were higher as ad-
vances in such items as f1axseed and
sugar offset the further decline in the
grains.
Live stock quotations lost more ground
than any other group and hog prices
are only soc higher than the Spring
low. The trend of market receipts is
seasonally upward and reserves on the
farms for both cattle and hogs were
larger than a year ago.
Textile prices were lower due to the
further decline in cotton and also to
weakness in wool.
Hides and leather represent another
group that was sharply lower This
was partly due to the setback in hide
quotations following an advance of 100
per cent from the lows recorded earlier
In the year
The four groups which advanced
during the past week were agricultural
products, building materials, due to
lumber. paint materials and vegetable
oils The groups that recorded no
change were chemicals, fuels, ferrous
metals and paper ana pulp.

DURING PAST WEEK
Prices Affected by Decline in
Sterling Exchange-Southern
Selling Proves Factor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 22-Trading in
cotton futures here during the past
week has consisted largely Of Southern
selling or hedging on the one hand and
trade buying on the other. The latter
has been supplemented by considerable
buying here through houses with Liver
pool connections, presumably on straddle
account incident to the readjustment of
differences to the decline in sterling
exchange.
The Continent has also been a mod
crate buyer, but business otherwise
seems to have been restricted by politi-
cal uncertainties or a disposition to
wait for further development of the
spot situation or perhaps the approach
ing Government crop report Declines
at the beginning of the week carried
the market into new low ground for
the movement, but the demand from
the trade became more active below the
6H-cent level for December and caused
moderate rallies
These were checked by continued
Southern selling, however, and iquida-
tions toward the end of the week were
irregular. with prices working of under
comparatively light offerings.

NEW YORK, october 22.-Another
direction in which the gap between this
year and 1881 is now being consider
ably narrowed Is to be found in the
trend of bank clearings. The report
compiled by r. G. Dun & Co., covering
the week ended October 10, shows a
smart upturn from the preceding week,
and what Is more encouraging, shows
the smallest decrease compared with
the same period last year, disclosed in
many months Total clearings in the
period covered were 22.4 per cent under
the corresponding week last year, but
the spread has been running much
wider than that heretofore. 1t reflects
the same condition evident in carload
ings and power output for some weeks
past, that Is, the rising trend now oper-
ating In contrast with definite decline
which held sway this time last year.

The so feet on the Shoe Shop and
/, Valley Market corner, across the
street east of the Kelly store, I
assessed at S1400, and the SO feet
to the east (Terry's) at $1,000, a
total for the 100 feet of $4,000, the
same as the Kelly corner. The first
time Mr.. Sullivan assessed the so
feet just referred to (shoe shop
and Valley Markell he valued it
at $3.50. Then he went across the
street to the Kelly property and
assessed the so feet on the corner
at $500. Now | wish to ask people
who are familiar with locations if
they can see $3.50 difference be-
tween so feet on the one corner and
so feet on the other corner. These
values are on ground only. Mr.. Sui
livan personally did the assessing
in Wolf Point. Is his work fairer
and more consistent than mine?
MI Sullivan says: at was adj
justments of such matters which
enabled me to add $4,000 to the
assessment rolls" Maybe it was.
but it would take a lot of them.
After making such cuts as these,
he must have touched up others
pretty strong. OF course when he
wrote his leaflet he did not expect
the other side of the story would
be told. He says there are dozens
OF such cases in my work. Well,
maybe there are in his work. l
have not checked his work except
in cases to which he called my at
tention.
The cases cited and explained
should serve to demonstrate to
fair-minded people that no matter
who does the assessing, his work
is subject to criticism. Errors of
judgment, and oversights will oc-
cur. 1t even seems as if MI. Sulli-
