Advancing grain prices in Chicago and other markets have had their inevitable effect upon the local markets. Throughout the week offerings in Colfax have been 40 cents a bushel for No. 1, and at this price several small lots have been sold. Although but few sales for future delivery have been made, several buyers in different parts of the county are willing to contract for wheat at 40 cents. The general sentiment in grain centers seems to be that this year's market will open at a better figure than 40 cents.
