Chapman Chips and Rain Spur Grain Market Talk
The Chapman hog market is largely cleared and Dawson Ellison’s elevator sees new thrashings of winter wheat, high quality but feared price hikes from railroad monopolists. Real estate stalls, land sales stagnate, and old wheat and corn flow into elevators while farmers rush to sell. A torrential rain last Monday revives hope for a big corn crop, though total yield may still be half. Gardens dry, vegetables scarce, and a photographer opens near Whitehead’s store amid a Baker Restaurant disturbance.
