HOOVER OVERLAND CAR FOR SALE 1918 Model, 5. Passenger; good condi- VOL. 37--NUMBER I Declining Grain Prices. The week ending Oct. 8, marked the lowest grain prices since 1915 on wheat and the lowest prices since 1908 on corn.

The break in wheat is laid to the fact that 95 per cent of the daily receipts at markets, is low grade wheat, musty, garlicy, and smutty and infested with weevil and other insects. There has been a constant stream of this class of wheat to the market, and due to the absence of sufficient export demand to absorb these receipts, each succeeding day has witnessed new low prices, because low grade wheat of this nature can not find an outlet through domestic channels. Until there is a material let up in the receipts of damaged wheat, there can be no hope of better prices and holders of good sound milling wheat should not force it on a market of this kind. The putting on the market of cattle and hogs, before they were fully fed out, has stripped the country of livestock, and as there is comparatively little export demand for corn, there is not an adequate supply of animals in the country to consume the corn that has been raised. There is a big carry-over of last year's corn crop, and it is now selling at 25c per bushel lower than it would bring last December.

It would seem that if the raising of corn is to again be a profitable business, the livestock industry must be put back on its feet. MILL ELEVATOR CO. GRAPE VINES FOR SALE 506 West Gravel street. 1-4p J. L.
