considering the weight of th two cereals.
rye at flfty-alx and wheat at atxty pounds
per bushel, the price of the former la uie
higher.
For the taat two weeks wheat prices
hare been strong to steady, while rye has
advanced on an average of 1 cent per
bushel per day. the high now being II. OS,
with high on wheat being $1.08.
It Is known that there Is a great foreign
demand for rye, but generally traders
are Inclined to the opinion that the le-l
Kit I mate demand does not Juatlry the
steady advance and the present high
prices paid.
While there Is considerable rye raised
In western Iowa and Nebraska, the two
states are not regarded as rye producers,
and consequently the dally receipts are
far below those of wheat,

The durum wheat Is another pussier
and traders are all at sea as to what
Is to be the future of the cereal. One
month ago durum was selling under the
hard winter variety, but with HS steady
climb, It has gone to a premium and
each day a new high mark Is set, so
far as price Is concerned. On the Omaha
market. Friday, durum sold at 11 10 per
pushel and at this price all of the offer
ings were quickly taken. There were
three cars of the grain and It was as
serted that It was bought for. export and
that ultimately It would go to Italy, that
country being exceedingly short Its
normal supply, which heretofore has been
grown In Russia ana Austria, both in
the war zone of , Europe.
For a Friday, grain receipts were
about normal, there being forty-seven
cars of wheat, ninety-nine of corn and
thirty-eight of oats on sale. Corn prices
were steady, the bulk of the sales being

S.F, Miller Expects
Good Run of Corn to
Omaha Market Soon
General Freight Agent Miller of the
Northwestern Is In town, after having
made a trip over the western lines with
General Manager Walters and Division
Freight Agent Jones. The party of North
western officials wehl'over'the Nebraska
main line and Its branches and found
conditions good. -They found that every
where In the states the farmers raised a
good to a bumper crop last season and
- that high prices for all farm products
are the rule. Said Mr. Miller:
"Through the Nebraska corn belt every
thing looks good. Corn picking is well
under way and in many localities the
farmers are Just finishing up. By the last
of next week the crop will be all gath
ered. Indications are that beginning next
week there will be a heavy run of corn
to market. The prices are high and" many
of the farmers are going to sell a portion
of tho crop. Othera will hold on, antic
ipating higher prices. The corn that will
be sold in the near future Is that that
has been hurked and thrown In piles on
the ground. That which has been cribbed
I fancy will be held. A large number of
farmers aro feeding cattlo and exr
much higher prlceu beef along toward
Christmas time."
M'Govern Will Let
Howell Put In the
Flush Tank Meters
City Commissioner Thomas McOovern.
will Ignore "Ihe city legal department's
opinion that the Water board can forcu
Mr. 'MoGovem's department to buy
meters for the flush tanks in the new
rewers.
"We're entitled under the law to 50,000
gallons a month for each tank," salj
Mr. McOovern. "The board admits we
cannot use that much. Now, If Water
Commissioner Howell wants meters in
stalled he will Install them at his own
expense "
The city engineer estimated that It
would cost $3,000 to Install the meters.
Residents where new sewers have been
laid during the last eighteen months
have complained because of the unsani
tary conditions. The Water board has
refused to . flush these sewers until the
meters were placed.
