No really essential change hfs de veloped in tlx- markets for the coarse cereals, corn and oats lacking sus tained strength. The option list in corn showed u fairly pood recovery from last Saturday's closing, hut prices moved over a relatively narrow rang'' Mid the absence of support at times was a cons picuous feature. Such rallies ;:s occurred on different oc casions mainly resulted from re purchases by fherts on technical con ditions, rnd knowledge that action would probably be taken to prevent aggressive speculation on the long side, should the occasion require it, has offset ome oth r factors which might have induced a sharp rob.iund in prices. Apprehensions that the ear ly crop movement may prove less than looked for have resulted from unset tied weather in the West, and it is said that husking has be n delayed by labor scarcity. Oats have shown rather more resistance to pressure than has corn, and they lso ended higher in price than last Saturday. Receipts at primary points are still call d disappointing, and at time s ex porters have shown r. moderate in terest in tin- market. Comparing with lust year, the movement of wheat continues small, western receipts this week Ining only .r>, 200, 000 bushels, against 13,229,000 in the earlier period. In the matter of flour output, quite a substantial increase was reported during the lat est week, but n large reduction is an ticipated next week, owing to the re quest of the Food Administration that the mills run at only 00 per cent of capacity. Dun's Review. W oman's Missionary I'm on to Mwt.

Cotton Grading in l.umherton. The Robesonian. Mr. O. J. McConncll, of the United Str.tes department of agriculture, who has charge of the government cotton grading work in this State, spent Monday here with Mr. T. W. Tragdon local government grader. Mr. McCon ncll was here for the purpose of look ing over the work being done at the local grading office. He declared that he was vtt'll pleased with the amount of cotton that has l>een graded here. Up to Monday, 3,500 samples were sent in by Robeson County ginners, while 500 samples had been sent in from Hladen County. This shows that much more cotton lias been graded than had been graded to the same date last year. Both farmers and ginners seems to be taking great in terest in the grading work and nc doubt the farmers are being greatly benefited by the grading. * 'AC 'M 'A' A Ai "AT 'A' A A" 'A 'A' ? ?
