THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1921. Many Traders Look for Lower Wheat Prices Germany Reported to Have Exhausted English Credit Large Estimate Made for Canadian Crop. By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. thlritco Tribune-Omaha lire I.ead Wlrr. Chicago. Aug. 1. The wheat mar ket has not acted right from a con structive standpoint, considering the export buying and bullish crop news. Failure to hold the small advance made Friday on the B. W. Snow crop report was a weak feature. It reduced the crop to 7b2.OO0.0OO bush els, including 564.000.000 bushels vinter and 198,000,000 bushels spring, or 25,000,000 bushels less than las( year's harvest, which practically i fell flat. This was accounted for by the heavy movement which is suffi cient to satisfy export requirement and millers' purchases, and cause a liberal accumulation. There has been a belief shared by a majority of traders that wheat prices were to do belter later in the season, but for the present there is more of a mixed sentiment and there are many who are looking for lower prices before there is a good per manent advance. The latest is that Germany has exhausted its English credit and may stop buying. There is another set who believe that highest prices are to be made in the next 30 days as the spring j wheat movement will follow market ing of the winter and after that rush ; is over there will be the Canadian crop to handle, which is estimated ac 270,000,000 to 350,000.000 bushels, with a majority around 290,000,000 to 300,000,000 bushels. Last year's crop was 2J3.000.000 bushels. Crop reports from abroad r.re showing somewhat better, but Broomhall claims European import requirements will' be from 550,000, 000 to 600,000,000 bushels, or about the same as last year. There is to be a close adjustment of world's supplies to requirements. Wheat is 29 cents cheaper at the American gulf ports than in South America and sf ven cargoes have been bought, six by Brazil and one in Uruguay, in the last two weeks. White Rus sia has bought i,000 tons of flour. The primary movement last week of 22,197.000 bushels, making 42,038, 000 bushels in two weeks, or 27,000, 000 bushels more than last year, was lbout the largest known for any cor responding period, the week's re ceipts alone setting a new record. For the month of July there we.e 66,926,000 bushels moved, against 79,929,000 bushels last year. Omaha Hay Exchange Men Join Fight For j Lower Freight Rates Lincoln, Aug. 1. (Special.)

Now things have changed; to my abode Each evening, without fail, Conies Filbert Flynn, to get a load On beer and wine and ale. And still his habits I deplore For I can plainly see It won't be v.ery long before His drinking ruins me!

While the great majority of plants have no reaction to outside influences of a passing or temporary nature, there are a few varieties which close up or droop when suddenly touched. Of these, the "fly-trap," which snaps its broad mouth-like leaves together when a fly alights between them, and the plants we call "sensitive plants" are excellent amples. In the latter instar.ee, the reaction is due to an involuntary pulling of the fibers of the plant, fibers which correspond to the muscles of the human body, and, while the plant cannot be said to possess nerves as we understand them, there is a sud den contraction which follows any unexpected touch. The leaves are wide open and stiff at one moment. Then something touches them and, almost instantly, they close together and droop in a dejected manner, thus giving the plant the name by which it is popularly known. The reason for this peculiarity has yet to be discovered, but botanists think it prcfbable that through generations the plant has formed this habit as a species of protection from its enemies much as a kitten will arch its back and instinctively prepare for flight the moment it sees its first t'.og and that the drooping is a kind of natural impulse akin to hiding or attempted concealment. An investigation by the .United States geological survey has brought to light a salt deposit in western Oklahoma which is believed to be one of the largest in the world. The deposit lies less than one-half mile below the surface and is thought to cover an area of about 100,000 square miles.
