WHEAT 10 PER CENT
HIGHER THAN 1938
CHICAGO, May 2—The value
of the American farmer’s wheat
today was 10 per cent higher
than a week (ago, the sharpest rise
in the grain market in almost a
year.
The sudden upturn, coming op-
portunely a few wdeks prior to
the start of 1939 harvesting, an-
swered grain traders’ prayers for
business and offered ia. solution to
the knotty problem of disposing
of millions of bushels of wheat
stored under government loans.
Within sa, week blackboard quo-
tations on the Chicago Board of
Trade have been chalked up sev-
en cents to the highest level since
early last summer, when the mar-
ket was on its way down from the
nine-year top established in 1937.
Largely because of the first un-
faiborable crop reports of the sea-
son from the winter wheat belt,
where harvesting may begin by
the endi of 'the month, buying
broadened sharpely, breathing new
life into the futures market and
spreading smiles in the wheat pit
where deepest gloom has prevail-
ed for six months.
Although the price bulge has
been at the expense of producers
whose grain may have deteriora-
ted because of dry weather, it has
put values 7 to. 15 cents above
the five-year lows reached earlier
in the season.
The rise in wheat prices has ac-
companied a material increase in
commercial marketing, wheat
which has been under government
loans is being redeemed; by farm-
ers, traders said, and is going in-
to trade channels. The govern-
ment lent $47,225,255 on 81,843,-
224 bushels of wheat at an aver-
age price of about 60 cents per
bushel to the farmer, Yesterday
cash wheat here was quoted at
791/2 cents for No. 2 hard, or 2x/2
over the Chicago loan basis. The
September wheat price of 7 3
cents is about ia cent higher than
the quotation for the correspond-
ing delivery last July when the
loan basis was announced.
Indictative of how much the re-
vival in wheat pit activity has
meant to traders and merchants,
the turnover in grain futures here
last week totaled! 129,838,000 bu-
shels, practically double that of
the previous week.
‘Appeaser’ Speaks
Mrs. Mary L. Wyre
Passes Century Mark
Mrs. Mary L. Wrye observed
her 101 birthday quietly dt her
next Friday afternoon and night, home in Mobeetie Sunday, with
~ ” ' only a few old friends calling.
She is in good health, but is
easily tired by excitment. She
lives in her olwn little house ia few
feet from that of her neiee, Mrs.
■W. M. Ellis, who takes care of
her.
In reviewing the experiences of
a century, Mrs. Wrve said that
the happiest moment of her life
was when news came that the
Civil War was ended.
Born in Franklin County, Tenn-
essee, she had moved to Lebanon,
and, during the bar rowing days of
the Civil War, lived in the battle
area. Her husband being in the
army, she was alone with her
baby daughter and! a younger sis-
ter.
The happiest moment of her own
personal experience she said wlas
at the time of her conversion.
She has been a devoted member
of the Baptist Church for 72
years and still keenly interested
in its activities, especially its mis-
sionary work.
Following the war, Mrs. Wrye
began teaching school, and taught
a part of every year for 47 years.
She was considered an outstand-
ing instructor, some of her me-
thods being adopted by the
County Institutes.
Among friends who visited! on
her 101st birthday were Mrs. W.
M. Poteet, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Everly, and Miss Clauda Everly
from White Deer.
