cattle at IL important livestock
markets were the largest of the
year. Todays receipts at the Chi
cago yards totaled 1000, most of
which were from the northwest.
Profit to Southwest
The northwest drought which
killed 100,000,000 bushels of wheat
in June at an estimated cost to
farmers of we'll over $100,000,000
has meant money in the bank for
winter wheat growers in the south
west. Their crop is harvested safe
from the ravages of drought dust
storms, and rust. Their 500,000,000
bushel yield is expected to bring
the mat least half a billion dollars
as a result of the sensational price
gains scored by grain futures in
the last three weeks.
July wheat on the Chicago board
of trade has rocketed up 25 cents
a bushel since June l when drought
damage to spring wheat first was
reflected in commodity markets.
Kansas City July wheat IS up 24s
cents in the same period.
Minneapolis and Duluth, the
markets where spring wheat is the
deliverable grade on contracts, have
been the centers for the most spec
tacular booms. Minneapolis July
wheat is 29& cents a bushel higher
than on June 13.
Grains became more precious as
each hour passed without rain. Only
normal conditions in other cattle
regions averted an immediate jump
in meat prices as pasturage and
feed burned out into the northwest.
Retail food prices began to follow
the wholesale markets upward
At least 100,000,0O0 bushels of
wheat have withered and fallen in

poverty stricken face a worse fate
