MARKETS- Rust Damage is Serious f:' Last week confirmed fears of the ‘Farmers. that' black rust was eating i seriously into the value of the 1916 I wheat crop. Responding to ' the now | generally credited information that rust is spreading - through the - Dakotas sna Canadnm provinces, the boards of trade showed stronger prices, and over seas quotations were relatively high. From England came rumors that short crops . in Europe coupled with the rust-depleted { crops of the Northwestern spring wheat | belt, are causing fears that there will be a shortage. Seemingly reliable reports:from North Dakota last week indicated that there would be net more than half the amount of grain harvested in 1915, or somewhere around 65,000,000 bushels. This was regarded by some well informed persons "~ .as an outside estimate, and likely to ‘dwindle, Others estimated there might Ebe 75,000,000 but even that is 25 per cent ! below average. South Dakota. is said to be worse affected than North Dakota. . The last area to admit rust damage has been the Caunadian provinces, and reports from many sections last week ~showed that black rust and blight have appeared in widely separated areas. With the weather continuing warm there was great danger of -spread, and it was admitted in Winnipeg wheat circles for the first time, that there had been a - rapid spread of damage during the few days preceding. ST. PAUL REPORT . “The past week' .has been a genuine bull affair in the wheat market,” says .the St. Paul grain®' exchange market letter. “Prices are several cents higher than a week ago, while receipts at all primary markets. for the week have been much larger than for the same period a year ago. The cash demand for wheat ‘was very good on most days of the week, but there was a disposition on.the part of buyers to be cautious. On the late bulge, supported mainly by rust reports from -the Northwest, buyers were dis- posed to go slow. . “The -fear of rust overspreadmg the Canadian provmces has been the major influence in furthering the advance. Receipts of winter wheat are increasing “and yields in the southwest are larger than expected but the all important factor now is the extent of damage which may result from the rust infection on both sides of the line.

Minn., one can only say that it is a weather proposition. “Those whom we consider most' reli- able concede a good deal.of damage in the Dakotas, but those whom we con- sider most dependable in the Canadian gram market say that as yet the rust in Canada is confined to isolated sec- tions and' that the general outlook is good. With the right kind of weather however, the development of rust might easxly follow the same course in Canada. as in our own Northwest and if this should occur higher -prices will naturally result. BUYERS ARE CAUTIOUS “Nevertheless the wheat market has advanced substantially- during the past month and more often than not the trade is more scared than hurt and likewise: the wheat by the various vicissitudes which beset the crop. It seems, there- fore, a time for extreme caution. Only a month ago we were told that Kansas would be lucky to get 80,000,000 bushels and - now the same state, because of excellent maturing and harvesting weather has .an outlook for almost 125;000,000 bushels. Peace is an ever present possibility and since the market has completely reversed itself, and is now full of pyramided long lines is in a very weak technical position. “The wheat crops of Europe are vari- ously estimated but in most cases the yield is figured as being under the quantity produced in 1915. Russia has a large reserve on hand of the last year’s ‘heat crop, that country being unable to move it to deficiency' countries by the closing of the outlet through the Mediterranean Sea. The present sea- son’s crop is estimated much smaller. Producers were discouraged in the seed- ing and decreased acreage. .Advices are that there is disappointment in the acre- age yield which further lowers the volume of production this season.” LIVESTOCK MARKET - ™ South 'St. Psul, Minn., July 29—Killer cattle market this. week 15 to 25 cents higher on all grades but canners and cutters, which are a dime higher.

CO. 5 TO PROGRESSIVES Rumor has it that the Progressive party is to put a state ticket into the field in North Dakota. The same rumor has it that the reactionary Republicans will support the ticket in the hope that enough voters may be deceived by the title of the parly to vote the ticket and defeat the Nonpartisan League. In fact it is openly claimed that the gang politicians are helping create sentiment for a third party ticket and will finance such move- ment. it’s a mighty poor game to play in this state just at present. The big argument used against the League by the gang press was that its state convention in Fargo, at which its candidates were nominated, was a direct evasnon of the primary law. g How will the same people justify a direct movement to nullify. the re- sult of the primary? The Progres- sives ought to be progressive enough to keep their skirts ‘clear of the old gang in North Dakota. They have gotten rid of Roosevelt and Perkins nationally—why take up with Hanna and McKenzie in this State. — CO- OPERATORS’ HERALD. Northern School Supply Co. FARGO, N.
