THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1919. WHEAT DEALERS SIGN CONTRACT FOR NEW PRICE Guarantee Producers Mini mum Return for, Grain Based On $2.26 a Bushel at Chicago. The. United States Grain corpora tion, through its officers, has en tered into contracts with practically all terminal and country elevator owners and managers, dealers and brokers in grain, as to what mini mum prices shall be paid for wheat marketed within the limits of the Omaha zone. The prices to be guaranteed are for the 1919 crop and are based on a price of $2.26 a bushel at Chicago. The difference between the Omaha and Chicago price is the freight, or carrying charge. The maximum, $2.26 is for No. 1 hard, the highest grade on the market. Other grades arc scaled, the poorer grades rang ing around $2.10 to $2.15. The Omaha-Chicagd carrying charge is 4 cents a bushel. The contracts provide that dealers shall not store wheat, or wheat products, for a longer period than 30 days without special permission from the grain corporation. Contracts were sen to the ele vator men, grain dealers and brok ers some days ago and are now coming in in large numbers. The result of such contracts having been executed is said to assure the pro ducers that there will be no fluct uation of the market for the 1919 crop, but that instead,' now,' or any time within the next few months, prices will remain the same. In the contracts there is nothing to prevent millers, or others, who want wheat from bidding above the guaranteed price. Already on the Omaha market considerable wheat has been sold above the guarantee, but in each instance the grain was wanted by brokers who had hurry orders to fill with millers, or by millers themselves-, who needed the wheat for grinding.

Tentative Estimate For School Tax Levy ShbwlO-Mill Increase A tentative estimate for the new school district tax levy provides for 45 miljs, as against a levy of 35 mills for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919. This school district is now limited to a maximum tax levy of 50 mills. The total tax collections and mis cellaneous receipts for the last school fiscal year amounted to $1,982,000, and the expenditures were approximately $2,020,000. Superintendent J. H. Beveridge and members of the Board of Education believe that provision should be made in the new school budget for "working capital" to provide for times when tax collections do not meet the expenditures. The proposed 45-mill levy, plus estimated miscellaneous receipts of more than $200,000, would yield nearly $2,700,000. Recent increase of teachers' salaries will absorb some of the increased levy. The school board is discussing the matter informally and expects to arrive at a conclusion this week. City Clerks-Start to Issue New Licenses On Tobacco City Clerk W. H. Hunter yesterday started to issue licenses to retail and wholesale tobacco dealers, in accord ance with a law passed by the last legislature.
