Away back in August, before the harvest was completed the predic
tion was made by The Journal that bluestem wheat would sell at tl a
bushel this season. This prediction has now been fulfilled and there are
indications at ;the.jnment that the price may break a few more rec
ord, because there is not a sufficient amount of bluestem flour to
supply the local trade. The heavy shipments to Europe at the start of
the season are responsible for this condition.
O

Bluestem wheat is selling as high as
1 a bushel at tidewater. This la the

Chicago, Nov. 30. The crop in Argen
tina is the only trouble the wheat mar
ket is having at this time. Late cables
from there Indicate that the. exportable
surplus will be quite small compared
to previous estimates. This caused a
sharp advance in Liverpool futures after
an easy opening there. Liverpool opened
unchanged for the three options, but
closed Hd to Id above the last figures
of Saturday...
December option is practically caah
delivery and the fluctuations in that
delivery scarcely show the condition of
the future market. In this market there
was a firm tone In the May and July
after the opening and another fraction
was added to the price at the closing.
The American visible supply, not in
cluding Canada, shows:
Wheat Increased 2,948,000 bushels.
Corn Increased 784,000 bushels.
Oats Increased 87,000 bushels. 1

4 Building permits for the
4 month of November show a loss
4 of about 10 per cent from the e
total of last month, but are - e
4 nearly double the value of those
4 Issued during November, 1907. e
4 ' Up to 1 o'clock today 196 per- 4
4 mits, valued at $9$1,365. had
been Issued for the month from 4
4 the building inspector's office.
A Nearlv half of this sum renra- A I W-
4 sents the value of the Meier A
4 Frank building, a' permit, for 4
4 which was Issued last week with 4
4 the cost given as $460,000.. Prao- A
A tlcally all of the remaining $481,- A
A 000 represents new construction A
A begun during the month.
A The Indications are that De- A
A cember's total will far exceed A
A that of any month during this A
A year, since there are a' number A
A of large buildings In the central A
A district under way fo? which A
A permits have not been issued. A
A This condition results from the A
A press of work in the offices of A
A the architects, many of whom A
A have been unable to get out A
A blue prints for the building In- A
A epector's office of the work they A
A have on hand.
Aren't the school directors
the meanest, though! Isn't It
enough to make a fellow jump
tn the lake! What do you sup
pose the horrid old board has
gone and done nowT Why, they
have forbidden to allow the tin
roof of the east side high school
to be used as a playground, and
If the adventurous youths want
to take climb they can't run up
the fire escapes any more and
cavort airily on the tin, all the
while laughing hilariously as
they lab hobnailed shoesVhrough
the thin roof covering. '
No, If they do so they will be
prosecuted. That's what a big,
glaring. Japanned sign ordered by
the school olerk says In large,
bold letters. The warning Is
signed "by order' of the school
board."
