MARKETS

BUYING STIMULATED BY PRICE ADVANCE

CHICAGO, July 8. Action of congress to advance the price of wheat had considerable bullish Influence today on the corn market despite announcement .that President Wilson would interpose a vote. Likelihood that Canada would continue to take corn liberally for flour mixing purposes tended also to stimulate buyers. Offerings were light. Opening quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to 3-4 higher with August 154 to 154 1-2 and September 155 3-4 to 156, were followed by material gains all around. Oats rose with corn. Very little hedging was in evidence. After opening 1-4 off to 3-4 up with August 70 3-8 to "0 3-4. the market scored a moderate general upturn. Strength developed in provisions owing to availing off in hog receipts as compared with Saturday's estimate. Trade, however, was not brisk.

8 CENTS FIXED

AS PRICE HERE BY THRESHERS

Profiteering Denied by Wayne County Threshers Wish to Co-operate With Farmers. Threshennen of Wayne county at a meeting Saturday set the following prices: Eight cents per bushel for wheat, 5 cents for oats and. 10 cents for rye. Fayette, Union and Preble county threshermen are obtaining the eame prices for the work. Wayne county threshennen say they are not profiteering by asking these prices, and assert they are anxious to co-operate with farmers and the government. They also point out that officials of the federal food administration say that the price of threshing is to be agreed -upon by farmers and threshermen and that there is no disposition on the part ol the department to fix prices. They presented these statistics to prove that an eight cent price for wheat is not exorbitant: The average price of wheat fn?s

! 1910 to 1914 (including the 1914 croc

sold in July) was 85 cents a bushel. The threshing cost 5 cents a bushel, which meant that the farmer paid 5 5-17 bushels out of every 100 bushr els for threshing. With wheat selling at $2.10 a bush the farmer paid only 3 82-100 bushels out of every 100 bushels for hi threshing, so that the price was really lower than in the period indicated above. The cost of producing an acre ol wheat prior to the war was $8.52, foi which the fanner received $17 pei acre. At prevailing prices, the cost of pro ducing an acre of wheat is $13.50 foi which the fanner receives $42. In the light of the greater returt which farmers receive for theii wheat, the eight cent rate, thresher men assert, is exceedingly reasonabl and cannot be called profiteering.
