MARKET

GRAIN PRICES CHICAGO, June 16. Markets are a repetition of yesterday. The same old cash grain stare in operation. Bulls say receipts of both corn and oats for last of June and part of July will not meet awaiting demand. Western cash corn three to five cents higher. Some talk of country corn reserves exaggerated. Corn has bulled oats. General crop news excellent. Forecast for cooler in most sections. Crop news however, is secondary to the chance of No. 2 mixed working back to $1.95. Chicago oats stocks may be reduced liberally this week. Markets purely a cash affair. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. Phone 1720.

FARMER'S HERCULEAN

TASK NOT LIGHTENED BY LAID-OFF LABOR American farmers are the one great group that does not register a dump in individual output during the postwar sag. No diminished man-hour efficiency here! With crops coming along a-booming. the supply of hired farm labor is 12 per cent less than in 1919 and 28 per cent less than before the war. according to the latest estimates. The agricultural regions are shrieking louder than ever for workers, while to keep the country's bread basket filled the farmers are turning night into day by aid of searchlights and are combatting the labor shortage by putting in longer hours themselves. Work 18 to 20 Hours Daily. Tractors are kept going all night long in many parts of the central west. According to reports received by the Illinois Agricultural association, many an Illinois husbandman for weeks past has been making an 18 or 20 hour day of it for himself. The fight to keep America's larder stocked this year seems to be an even more epic struggle than it was in 1917 and 1918. Meanwhile the park benches in some cities are getting more occupants. The slowing down of some industrial lines because of reduced supplies and impeded transportation facilities is backing a tide of labor westward. For weeks, for example, Detroit's parks have held many unemployed, due to reduced forces in the autom -bile industry. The jobless have been floating back to Chicago and points still further wett. For a week contractors in the building trade, which is one of the best barometers, have re-4 ported plenty of labor. Labor Market Near Balance.
