GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER 4CO, 212 Union National . Bank Buildina. CHICAGO. Jaif. 28. The day has been one of constant statistical flow; their purpose has been to Indicate a bearish position but have largely failed. There is too much confusion in the figures. There is a rumor that foreigners are trying for. a concerted break in prices to aid their own situation. They make reduced consumpt ion basis for their opinion. It has now been admitted there will be less foreign buying in the United States, but the brunt of this change is wearing off. Little export business today. The economical situation may cause breaks but from these levels the advantage should, be with the buyer. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO.

Jan. 2S. The annual farmer's institute closed here Thursday with a speech by Ira G. Shellabarger, formerly of this town, on "Feeding Hens for Eggs," and a discussion by Clyde Hooley of "Ohio's Rural Legislation". Mr. Shellabarger, who is now with tlie Acme Seed company, of Dayton, gave a very interesting talk in the morning on poultry selection, illustrated with some Plymouth Rocks in a coop on the platform. . He told of the profits to be realized from culling the flock and showed how easily the non-laying, unprofitable birds could be detected by examination. He also demonstrated the proper chickens to be selected for breeding stock to build up the flock. j Discusses Legislation. : Mr. Hooley'a discussion of the legislation touched on the work of i lhe "Cornstalk Brigade," as the farmer j members of the "Cornstalk Brigade," i as the farmer member of the assembly are called, in forwarding useful lesislafion nnd in preventing the passage of harmful provisions. Notable measures were the provision for an optional countv ieVy of two mills for road purposes" which fiO counties out of ss have I taken advantage of, and the defeat of iihe Hughes Health bill requiring an exorbitant expense for its enforcement and the defeat of the bill allowing property to be classified, for tax purposes, which would have made it still more difficult to levy equitable taxes on the intangible property. . At the beginning of the afternoon session, the nominating and soliciting committees reported, the latter stating that enough money had been collected to pay all expenses r.nd to leave $20 !n the treasury towards next year's Institute. The officers for next year are W. E. Gruber, prsident; Joseph Beck, m'cpTresident; Chrales Laird, secretary; E. B. C reaper, treasurer; and A. C. Banfill and Clarence M. Locke, executive committee. The nominating committee which, presented the names were: Edwin YVoolfe. J. H. Gruber. Hollis Holtzpiuller, Levi Sayring, and Warren Judy.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,
The World's BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN Because Great Britain the banker for all Eurone. on amount of her financial pre-eminence, and also snips, we have been told for generations that "Liverpool fixes the nrlca of wheat for the world." This is not even approximately true. What is true is this: Liverpool is the greatest of European export wheat markets, but there are others, notably Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg and Geneva, all important Continental markets. British traders, however, cover the Continent and Great Britain has a broader financial control of the sources of raw material than has any other nation, also the shVs and the men to handle it, and this explains her gigantic commercial operations. Now what is raw material? "Export wheat" is simply the surplus of the principal wheat growing countries, the great bulk of which ultimately finds its way to Liverpool in British vessels, and , after supplying British neeus me balance is parceled out to best advantage by English grain merchants. At this point Liverpool does fix the price on her surplus importa tions, ttiat Price depending on the supplies in, and needs of, the markets te which she may trans-ship or the ability of the traders who come to her for grain to supply their wants else - where. England makes a price to hold ner mancet. w henever that is. for any I reason, thought to be worth while and mis not only as to grain but also as to the entire marketings of this great . commercial nation entering into; world competition, wherever English supremacy may be challenged or in danger. World's Surplus Seta Price. It must be remembered that the hundreds of vessel loads of "grain on passage," are a constant source of supply. Moreover much of this grain is on consignment and not under contract. The bulk of such loadings reach the Mersey docks at Liverpool, are sold on bids or arf held suhiect tn naMco from the ownPr in India Australia
Argentina or Canada, and in pre-war ! southwest of Centerville on Thursday days this supply was augmented by re-j ,u.jPt have realized considerable ceipts from Daunbian and Black Sea;moneJ.

mand, but seldom falls as low as 35, - 000,000 and often exceeds 70.000,000 luhel. Let us suppose that there are 50,000,000 bushels headed tor Liverpool and the Continent today, the bulk of it on consignment. Suppose Spain, Greece or Italy advances their bids for wheat. What happens? Own - ers in India, Australia, England, Can - ada or elsewhere accept such bids

cargo or cargoes to the port where sold, the ship captain being instructed "my wireless. It will be seen then that the world's available surplus is the greatest factor in setting the price of wheat. We say "available surplus" because that alone counts. Russia had two crops of wheat on hand after the harvest of 1914 and on the breaking out of the war, Roumania was also one of the granaries of Europe and will be again, but has raised scant crops and ; has had but little wheat to spare ; since 1914, this being true of all the Daunbian country since the harvest of 1913. It follows then that it is the "available" grain which figures importantly and not what the world may have grown but cannto move into consumption, as in war days with contending armies, submarines and sea raiders in action. j Wheat a World Crop. Wheat is a world crop. No single country, let alone any single city, can make the price on any world crop. Those who need will buy in the cheapest and not in the dearest market. Time was when Russia exported 175,000,000 to 200,000,000 bushels of wheat annually. The war shut off that vast supply and the rest of the wheat producing world buckled down to supply that lost production and presently more than made it good. But even so the people of Europe actually need every bushel of our wheat, and all that. Canada and Argentina can spare Of their last crops. But Europe lacks both cash and credits. She has so far been unable to sell us sufficient goods to establish such credits and ip consequence her exchange rates are on a ruinous basis. Europe owes American and Canadian concerns billions of dollars, aside from the loans extended directly by the two governments. Private enterprise is loaded to the water line. There is a limit to the amount of credit American concerns, j either bankers or exporters, caJi ex- j tend, regardless of how their ipterests aro secured. ! A Peculiar Situation. After loading up on wheat at comnn ,.n , S iml li i ri.istA TlltlMnar lout ! spring and up to mid July, Great Britain dropped almost entirely out of the American market. It is said that, in ! the meanwhile, England has bought a ; lot of Indian and Australian wheat for j less money than she would have been j compelled to have paid during last tail ! for our 1920 crop.

In the meantime Canada has persistently undersold us at Liverpool, and hag also undersold our own spring wheat fanners at Minneapolis and also supplied American' millers of spring wheat flours at many other western points. This is one of. the reasons for the farm federationists instance upon a tariff barrier on wheat importations. Another reason is the fact that Argentina unloaded millions of bushels of both wheat and corn last year, selling by cable "to arrive," on all our high ! spots The World Still Hungers.
