MARKETS
r JARP BREAKS Oil CHICAGO MARKET
CHICAGO. Feb. 33 A general rush to sell and sharp breaks In values revolted today from action of board of trade directors establishing maximum price limits on all business In future deliveries. Oats especially showed acute weakness,- but the unloading seemed to be of a miscellaneous character that did not affect any large individual holdings. Rallies which ensued from the extreme low point touched at the outset were mainly due to profit taking by shorts. After opening 1 to 34 down with May 37 to 89, the . market gradually reached comparative steadiness around May. Corn reflected only to a moderate extent the depression of oats. Urgent export and Industrial demand tended to act as an offset for the new restrictions which in any case could not directly apply to corn with any greater stringency than has long been the case. Opening prices which ranged from to to to c lower with March 127 and May 126 to 127 were followed by slight changes within the initial limits. Provisions dropped at once as far as the rules would permit for one day. There wa9 general commission house liquidation.

Today is the horse breeders' opportunity. The world's horse market must be restocked. The European war is depleting this market daily and European horse breeders have ceased activities almost entirely. America is called upon to furnish immense shipments of horses and mules far overseas and unless this continent's output of these animals is increased greatly and speedily, the already existing scarcity will develop into dearth. Prices paid for horse flesh have already soared to undreamed-of figures. Western Canada offers all the needed essentials for the successful breeding of horses and Canadian farmers are not blind to their opportunity. Greater areas of new lands are being broken each season and, while many tractors art used in this work, a majority of farmers still cling to horse power. This creates a large local demand for heavy draft horses. A demand greater than the
present supply. A demand that calls fc an immense increase in this industry. Western Canada's climate, water and feeds all make for fine draft horses and particularly Perchtrons, the best liked horse in Canada.
The Percheron brood mare is a double earner, being also the farmer's work horse. Mr. E. A. Davenport, a successful Alberta breeder of Percherona for many years, contends that environment is at times more powerful a factor than heredity; that the best strains will deteriorate if placed in unfavorable environments. Western Canada, he claims, has soil suitable for the growing of feed that will produce strong, perfect and enduring
irames; nas a ongnt, pure and bracing atmosphere that makes for lung development and blood-building: has sufficient mineral matter in food and water to develop dense, flinty bones;
is, in fact, the ideal environment for the breeding of draft horses. Mr. Davenport lays stress on the commercial value of bran as a horse food. It develops the strong bones, dense tendons, tough hoofs and powerful muscles for which Canadian horsLj are already famous. He claims that Western Canada can most better than any other section of the country, produce draft horses of ideal quality and development as regards frame, vigor, stamina, constitution, action, docility and durability. The Canadian bred Percherons combine the essential requirements necessary in a horse that works hard either in the city or upon the farm.
