WBBBm&T 12 ^^F^CS^r* *tf*^ "^^HP^N Some Parts of the Country Very WetFirst Quotations Heard for New Wheat. New Oats Come in of High Qual- iv ity, Promising Well for the Crop. Marseilles Sends Word to Rollin! Chicago E. Smith Regarding Du rum Wheat. 1 Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Aug. 8. tifclore raka, and a prediction for still more of It f,tonight and tomorrow, sent wheat up another [notch. In the James River valley, where the f-work of cutting the wheat is In progress, near Hy five Inches of rainfall is recorded at some Kolats a the post week. Naturally this Is bad jtaews for the bears. Rains have fallen nearlj f*very-wheoe. The situation is uncertain, much [depending upon the weather. If the worst has {been seen, the heaviest rains have fallen and [the 'weather is to turn clear again and lemain lclar, then it may be doubted whether the tnarket will be very seriously affected, for there lias b#ea a fair rally from recent low points, and the market ought to settle If, howevei. there is to be more rain, prices might easllj advance considerable, for a wet harvest is the one thing now to be feared. It is really a little early for a wet-harvest scare Te dajs from now rains would be worse than at pres nt. The question of the price, therefore, is largely a guess on the weather for the Imme diate future. For the long pull the price will [depend much upon the spring wheat movement land the extent to which receipts of spring wheat proper are held down by a movement of durum wheat and coarse grains. Some comment Js heard in effect that when once the new-crop f*taff begins to come in so much grain of other tjfcinds will appear that in 6prlng wheat the totals will be disappointing, but this is largely ^conjecture Until the stuff actually begins to amove no one can tell about it. The argument 5js also made that the farmers, finding prices Sees attractive, will hold back their wheat iffhis may, indeed, be the case in some locali ties, but trade experience is that the farmer raises wheat to sell, not to store away, and that usually he sells it or a good part of it when it Is ready The trade watched the weather reports verv closely. The early messages showed conditions as follows Fargo, part cloudy, temperature 68, "Winnipeg, clear, warm, Breckenridge, cloudy, cool, Willmar eloudj, cool, raining, Valley City, cloudy, calm, Morris, raining, cool Boyd, cloudy, rained last night, New Ulm, cloudy, calm temperature 64, rain, Redfleld, cloudy, raiding, 70, Watertowu, cloudy, calm, Madison, cloud*, calm, Huron cloudy, calm, La Crosse, cloudy, cool, Winona, cloudy, cool, Sioux Falls, c'oudj, 70, rain last night, Sioux City, heavy rain last night, Dawson, heavy rain last night, cloudy, 72.

Advices to N Loomis from South Dakota less favorable Mr Loomis recently cov ered 2,000 miles in the wheat fields, and from jbservation and later information received Is Inclined to view the recent optimistic reports as representing the best that Is to be heard of 'the spring wheat erop, and that unless the feather turns more favorable some later dis lappolntment will follow. New oats were received by McCord. They rJgTaded No 2 white and weighed 80 pounds. I The shipment was from South Dakota.

GOSSIP OF THE MARKETS A sample of wheat from Benson, Minn., to day to Poehler shows a very backward condi tion, with the grain badly mildewed, short heads, and the yield not to exceed nine or ten bushels an acre. Samples and reports from Comstock, Minn., from two different fields show poor heads, bad ly mildewed and a slight touch of black rust. In addition to which farmers report active work by the army worm, which, it is claimed. Is in about every field In that neighborhood. Some of the beads snowed the cutting of the worm This particular train could scarcely mature better than No. 8 wheat and not to exceed eight or nine bushels an acre. Perham, Minn., reports that prospects of a large yield of wheat In that section are less favorable. Fields that promised a yield ot twenty bushels an acre will thresh about ten bushels. Th straw Is breaking near the roots too much wet weather has been the cause of It. The railroads will test the constitutionality of the railway rate bill.

Part of his success in making the col lection so nearly complete came from exchanging valuable duplicates for specimens which he needed, hut which money could not dislodge, in other col lections.
