The bulk oi the pressure on the decline was from local traders. Further reports of damage in the southwest due to high traders were received, but did not attract much attention at the time. Foreign demand was reported as light, al

though Germany was credited with having taken few loads. Reports from the northwest were decidedly favor fible. Cash markets reported a little ' lower. Corn Although corn had, a sinking rpell early in the trading it firmed up with wheat and closed near the top. The weather and crop conditions keep up favorable.

And about the time Grant was entering Point Pleasant, Rutherford B. Hayes was matriculatine as fresh man at Kenyon college, where the event is to be appropriately celebrated at Kenyon's 94th commencement June 17-20th. On Tuesday the 19th President, William F. Peirce of Kenyon collego in the name of the faculty of that institution, will confer upon Charles Richard Williams, of Princeton, N. J., as the biographer of President Hayes the honory degree For this purpose motor down from Fremont, Ohio, as the guest of Webb C. Hayes, President Hayes oldest son and will deliver an address on the life of the former Ohio President. Mr. Williams is son-in-law of the late William Henry Smith, for many' years manager ot tne American Asso - ciaiea riess, a lire long inena OI President Hayes. It was Mr. Smith's! intention to have been President! Hayes' biographer, and though he published a volume on the subject of American slavery which covered much of General Hayes' own activity as a Union general, an Ohio congressman and three times Ohio governor, it left the more personal work undone. It was work of love therefore, that Mr. Williams took up and completed this biography. Mr. Williams himself has occupied many distinguished positions in the life and letters of America. He

Japanese newspapers commenting upon Premier Ka to's statement of the policies of his government concentrate their attention more upon his declaration of domestic program than foreign policies. The new premier's promises to effect needed fiscal readjustments, stabilize public opinion, promote foreign trade and extend the advantage of educa tion appear as the most interesting topics to most editors. The Jiji Shimpo, however, expresses the belief that Kato's promise to realize the spirit as -well as the letter of the Washington conference agreements and to find a speedy solution of the Siberian question will inspire ( confidence abroad in nis government J Roch? Snimbun urges immediate withdrawal of Japan from Siberia, de claring that to wait until the situation is stabilized would mean maintenance of troops there "almost forever."

Favorable conditions were said to promise the sowing of a large wheat acreage in both Australia and Argentine for the 1922-23 crop.

An important business meeting of the Richmond District Percheron Breeders' association will be held in the county agent's office at the court house on Saturday evening, June 17th, at 7:30. One part of the program to come up will be a discussion of putting on an association show next fall. Percheron men are urged to be present, says President C. L. Gifford. The county millers and elevatormen are in no great rush to buy new crop wheat for July delivery. One miller said on Thursday that he preferred ; iu iicv auu t'-oi ucai, uv iui ij t1 d "XXZ" tember prices, and the varying reports as to conditions in the winter wheat belt, have made grain dealers a bit wary and uncertain. As one el-to-'evator manager puts it: "We can always buy wheat as we need it, and at the going market price, so why should we get into a sweat before the grain is cut. It can't' fly away." This is true, of course, but even so, a few crops have been bought at around $1 and a3 high as $1.10. But we didn't strike a miller on Thursday who cared to bid over 95 cents for July delivery of No. 2. Report From Camden The report from the Eikenberry elevator at Camden shows that they are inclined to pay but 95 cents for July delivery wheat, this being just 10 cents below their current bids for old wheat. "We haven't bought any wheat for July delivery so far this season, although we usually do buy for later delivery at this season," said the party on the wire. "Fact is prices are so low, the farmers think, that they don't care to sell. We expect an eany narvesi arouuu umueu, auu to be receiving grain by July 1. Corn is looking fine and while not yet injured is beginning to need' rain." ' College Corner Milling Co. The manager of the College Corner milling company says that wheat down his way is looking only fair and that he thinks it has "gone back" some in the past two weeks. There is, however, some early ripening fields and he exDects that the first harvesting operations will begin on a few farms on Saturday morning, if weather is favorable. He also states that there is plenty of red rust showing, it being geen almost everywhere, but that red rust does but little harm, as a rule. Corn is in splendid shape just now. The mill was offerins $1.0S for wheat on Thursday but has not yet contracted for any new crop grain. A report from Fred Schlientz and Son office at Eldorado was to the effect that there is both red and black rust in the fields in that section, although the grain is not badly infested as a rule, except in small odd spots. The man at the phone said he did not expect to see any harvesting done to amount to anything for at least two weeks, unless a hot dry spell should result in premature ripening. No wheat had been bought from the farmers for July delivery up to Thursday night, we are told. Farmers are busy in their corn, which look3 very promising. Want to See the Wheat "We haven't bought any new crop wheat," said the manager of the mill at Cambridge City, "because we prefer seeing and testing grain before making a price on it. We are taking C 1 a little old wheat at $1.05, but couldn't ! contract for July deliver of No. 2 that price today, the market not warranting that high a figure. After doing some inspecting and talking with our farmers we are beginning to bo afraid that a lot of our wheat is to run No. 3.
