COUNTRY GRAIN MAN NOW IS INCLINED TO . HOLD FOR HIGH TURN

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The unexpected upturn In wheat, unexpected at least to a large number of farmers, has checked the receipts of wheat at all primary market points. "When wheat struck Its low after a

sudden decline a short time ago, only the lack of cars prevented thousands of farmers selling right from the machines. Being compelled to store it these same men are Inclined to hold. This explains why it Is easier to sell wheat for export at good prices, than it Is to buy It from the farmer. In addition, there were thousands of grain growers who early made up theif minds to carry wheat till the price was more to their liking. This combination led to a Blowing down of receipts and also helped the advance In price. Wheat In Brisk Demand. The net result Is this: Exporters are bidding the best prices of the season. Premiums of 20 to 22 cents per bushel over December prices, are now bid for cash wheat, or for August dating, for hard winter and from 18 to 20 cents for soft reds. While the flour trade Is said, to be the slowest In vears, millers are pick

ing up "wheat at present prices. The reason for slow flour tnxde is the belief of many consumers that they will get flour at prices much nearer prewar levels by waiting. In the meanwhile, Minneapolis, which had lowered prices materially some time ago, has made two recent advances, that of last week being 80 cents per barrel on spring patents. Receipts Comparatively Light. Receipts of wheat for the season AAA AAA 1.

V have so far been but 50.uuo.uuu ousnels. against about 80,000,000 for the . a irAo t Wft must, not

forget, however, that, the crop was late this season, over the middle westcm area. Kansas City has received

but 50 per cent as much wheat thi3 season, and its wheat comes from the early harvests of the southwest. Chicago has taken in only one-third as much wheat this year, and receipts continue light. Miller's supplies have been vanishing, but southwestern millers have been holding flour down, until now. The southwest has been Retting wheat, nearly 9.000 cars being held at gulf ports or now in transit. The fact that European reserves are vanishing is a certainty; nor will many of these countries be able to build them up greatly out of the 1920 crop surplus, while the greatest part of these territories will have to import heavily, long before the next crop can become available. Just what may happen to wheat Defore that time arrives we are not predicting. We don't know. A survey of the field and world conditions, do not, however, indicate any very cheap wheat on this crop. The fact that spring wheat in the r.orthwest, and in Canada, has been injured by rust is not to be gainsaid.

But little Miss Mary Miles Mlnter, highest paid 6tar of her age In the world, and possessor of marvelous clothes, has used rare restraint In portraying her role of a poor little mountaineer girl In "A Cumberland Romance," which shows at the Murray Theatre the first half. She does not wear a single Paris frock in the entire picture, not even a vision, because, said she, a poor little mountain girl would not be likely to dream about fineries which she had never even seen. Without

smart clothes, however, Miss Minter has made a beautiful and appealing figure of "Easter," the girl of the wild

They paid $2.35 for wheat on Monday. Reports from the Milton Grain company are to the effect that cars are arriving as freely as desired at Milton and Beeson's Station, but this is not the case at Bentonville, along the Pennsy.
