History of Omaha Exchange
Record price for oats on 'the
Omaha grain market in its history
i . i i i
was rraenca yesicruay, wncn mc
grain gold for 96 cents per bushel.
The increase in the oats market
has been gradual since the first of

the year, according to members of
the Omaha exchange, due to the
fact that last year's crop, which
was the shortest in five years, left
the supply meager. The highest
price attained in Chicago for oats
is $1 per bushel.
