And this is the influence which is to be felt strongly this week. “The old and new crop mfluences have been about evenly balanced up to this time,” sald an Omaha buyer. “But the coming crop will control in the next few weeks and the old crop will gradually lose its Influence. Of course, the fact there is a shortage will still exert some influence on the price and old wheat will profit by the outlook of the coming crop.’ Go to Country for Data. Omaha grain dealers are reaching into the country for information first hand. They will recelve scores of letters and re- ports from country elevators the coming week and within ten days will know more nearly what the chances are for a good crop than the experts In the Department of Agriculture. Most of the grain dealers agree with Patten. They have already discredited the report of the Department of Agriculture and were among the first grain dealers in the country to pronounce the last two rg- ports as “absurd” and “guess work.” One thing the operations of the great Burnam Rules Nonresident May Run for Office City Attorney Tells Dundee Man to File and Move to Omaha After if Successful, In a drawer in one of the desks in the clty clerk's office reposes a »etition ask- ing that the name of Arnold C.
