The opening, which varied from: %c decline to %c advance, with July $1.13% to $113% and September:$1.14% to $1.14%, was follwed bya material setback all around. Subsequently, attention to the-Ger- man political situation. together with weakness in foreign exchange tended further to depress the wheat market. Decrease of the visible supply total tailed to bring any support to prices. ‘The close was heavy, 1%c to 2%c net lower, with July $1.11% to $1.11% and September $1.12% to $1.12.

Midwest to Test Nelber Dome. The Midwest Refining company has made definite plans to test Neiber Dome, 20 miles south of Worland, ac: cording-to an official of that company. ‘Thosocation of the wildcat well which this company will-¢rill is Section 13- 45-93. In 1915 a-well was drilled at Neiber dome, hut was abandoned at 2,000 feet. The records show that gas in emall quantities was encountered at 00 feet and a considerable amount of water at 1,000 feet. It is felt that the chances for getting gas ere much bet- ter than ofl, and should gas, in com- mercial quantities be found it will mean.that the nearby cities of Wor: land, Basin, -Greytull' and pogsibly ‘Thermopolis-will be. supplied-from this field. ‘The hole which:thecMidwestitscoing to put-down will*test ‘the various for- mations ‘to 4,200 to-4:700"feet.
