BCTTEK PACKING 13 SOI tTXIFORM Produce Exchange Will Work for Better Method. Large handlers of butter complain of the lack of uniformity in the packing done by country creameries. Not only are the boxes of different sizes, but of various kinds of wood of Irregular thickness and weight, and all sorts of lining methods are followed. This irregularity is a detriment to business when It comes to handling butter in carload lots. In order to remedy the matter, it possible, a committee consisting of E. J. Dixon, S. N. Heidenreich and E. W, Ellis was appointed yesterday by President Faust, of the Prod uce Exchange, to take up tbe matter with the outside creameries that are shipping their surplus to this market. 1VATE VEGETABLES CAUGHT BY 13081 Tomatoes Are Badly Nipped is This Section Tuesday Nlfcht. The first hard frost of the season, which occurred Tuesday night, nipped the tomatoes in this section and all other late vegetables. Cantaloupes were also severely frosted. No damage was reported in the onion sections, as the crop is nearly harvested and all will be housed by tho last of the week. There was a fair trade in the fruit and vegetable markets. Supplies were ample and prices generally were steady. CANNED CORN PACK IS VERY SHORT Higher Prices at Retail in Sight This Season. There will be a decided shortage in Stand' ard canned corn this season. While some sections have a normal crop, others will be short, and the total pack will be much un der that of average years. As there is no ' carryover from last year, high prices will rule. Corn that in past seasons retailed at 10 cents will this. Winter sell at 15 cents, or two for a quarter. One large canner has notified his cus tomers that he can. only give a 25 per cent delivery of 191s corn. Others who guaran teed deliveries will have to pay ev penalty. The entire pack of the country is oversold. Bank Clearinsrs. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

LATE WHEAT RALLY Export Buying Lifts Prices in Chicago Market. TONE AT OPENING BEARISH Values Recover on Denial ot Humors That Rain Had Fallen In Ar gentina Day's Foreign Pur chases Largely for Holland. CHICAGO, Oct. 4. Export buying, which wss said to be on a large scale, helped to elevate the wheat market today to new high record prices for 1U16, ana so, too, did de nials of rumors that rain had fallen in Ar gentina. The close was strong at tiv 4io to lic net advance, with December $1.0UH 1 69i and May $1.8SVi. Corn gained He to tTc. eats Ho and provisions 17a to $1.62. At first the wheat market showed a noticeable tendency to sag. owing to preva lent opinions that the bullish effect of the Argentine drought bad been discounted enough. Substantial gains in the last half of the sersloa replaced the earlier losses of wheat values and left the market in the end at virtually the topmost price yet this sea son. Export business was finally announced as totalling 800,000 bushels, largely for Holland. Assertions of heavy buying for the British government were officially denied. Corn, as well as whrat, was bulllshly af fected by export demand. Oats reflected the strength of other grains, but only to a slight extent. Liberal receipts formed more or less of an offset. A squeeze of shorts In October pork tended to lift the provision market as a whole. At one time the coveted option was bid up nearly $2 a barrel, but It did not appear that any large transactions were Involved. Leading futures ranged as follows: ' WHEAT. Open. High. Low.
