Markets Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO. Aug. 19 Overnight we are undecided. The grains at this level should hold. July wheat and flour exports ot 30 million and the American wheat and Hour clearances of 10,600,000 are friendly to the market. LaSalle St. comment much more friendly to grains and there are out spoken belief that while the bulges may be moderate markets are well liquidated and low enough. For the Aug. 20th-Sept. 20th period during the rush of Canadian, wheat we believe that wheat may sell lower. Corn crop news again of the near 3100 million crop kind. After a 12c break if this is a real rally December wheat should return to 51.23. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by. E. W. WAGNER A. CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Aug. 19.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

John O'Dea, well known stock buy-i er living east of New Paris, said that he had bid $9 for heavy hogs and $9.50 for light hogs on Thursday, but his offers had been turned down, farmers not being willing to sell at his figures. Mr. ODea doesn't want to pose as an authority but said he looked for irregular live stock markets for some time, with hogs ranging not far from present figures. The bulk of our corn looks promising." said Fred Sclientz, of Eldorado, "but some of it was scorched too much to ever make a real crop. We are not expecting a big crop of tobacco, as a rule, although some patches are very promising. The late spring season, followed by dry weather retarded growth, besides which the acreage was cut, compared to last year, according to what our farmers say. As with corn, so with tobacco, It is good and bad, in 6pots." Mr. Schlientz said they had been buying some wheat lately, not a great deal, and that they had been paying $1.13 for a first class article. Report From Glen Karn. The elevator at Glen Karn, O., does the local grain business for the Hollansburg district. Manager Richards reports very little grain moving and says that while they are doing some little business in coal farmers are showing no anxiety about winter sup-! plies, as yet. Asked as to outlook for fall wheat rowing Mr. Richards expressed the opinion that less wheat would be sown than last year, and for two reasons: "First there is so much corn down in this section that farmers are not likely to tear up their corn to sow wheat, and further the price of wheat offers no inducement to sow it unless it comes handy to do so." Feeders Paying High for Corn. H. M. Hockett, in charge of the elevator at Fountain City, cites the fact that local feeders in his bailiwick are paying 65 cents, ana even more, ror corn. "This lets us out," he said, "being so much above central markets. Y1Tt n -a Pa! t- cw Tf Vi in r rtiAntinn in vf , v,n. ... - , , .. anng some ieea ana coai, out mere is no ursrent demand for the latter, farmers not being in a rush to buy, This reminds that a car of baseburner anthracite was received by the farm bureau folks at Fountain City, on Tuesday, and was priced at .$15 in the car. Selling Coal at Camden. The Eikenberry elevators at Camden paid $1.08 for Number 2 wheat on Thursday all day, despite the weak ness in the central markets; they also took in some corn at 55 cents, but say that not a great deal of grain is on offer. Asked as to seed wheat they reported marketing a couple of cars so far! said they had no trouble in getting a good article of seed wheat, and had a lot of the Gladden variety, which many buyers favored. We judge that many Camden people have come to the conclusion that this is a pretty good time to make sure of their winter's coal, which Mr. Eikenberry says they have been buying quite freely, of late. College Corner Drops to $1.04. The manager of the College Corner Milling company tells us that they thought it best to cut price of wheat four cents on Thursday. They paid $1.08 in the forenoon, but when Chicago quit the day at further reduction in cash hand option prices they marked their price down to $1.04. This made College Corner the low spot reporting on wheat. They are now looking for a good crop of corn down that way, if frost holds off. Asked as to the demand for coal the miller said they had sold a couple of cars within the past few day3 and he is advising coal purchases, now. He says coal is low at the mines and he is looking for no reductions worth while, either in coal or freight rates. Lynn Elevator Reports. "Our price on wheat is $1.08, and we paid 80 cents per hundred pounds for the last corn brought in. Oats are all cleaned up, except as held on the farms for home use," was the report from the Lynn elevator on Thursday afternoon. "No one seems hungry for coal, although we are selling a little right along." Too Many Hogs. The supplies of hogs at the leading markets continue to increase. Chica-I go's receipts thus far in August have been nearly 100,000 head greater than in the same three weeks last year. The full month's total promises to surpass any August in history, unless recent breaks cause a heavy drop in loadings. Why Overflow the Markets? As an excuse, or a reason, for the depression in grain and the break in prices this week, a Chicago grain man says: "Farmers are selling as though they will never have another chance to dispose of their crops. And they are selling regardless of prices. This not only lowers grain but is having a demoralizing effect on general business conditions." Accepting that statement for what it is worth we may be sure there is no muMinnunnuiiiunMiiiMT Repairs for All International Harvester Machine's Dennis Implement Co. 15-17 S. 7th St. iummnHHtmtminmufitu CUP GREASE SPECIAL 5-lb. bucket, 95c McConaha's Garage 418 Main St itwinmnmHtumuirttiimiuumuirmantumfti

concerted movement of farmers to glut the markets. But this is a big country and a lot of us always need money. A million farmers are in that condition; have been for months. This pressure is having its legitimate result, increased marketing at the wrong

time. Bear speculators have helped the market on its downward way, but the real trouble lies with the producers. True, general conditions are unfavorable to bull markets, but if the crops are held on the farms, or in country elevators for a while, so that stocks at central points may diminish daily, a bracing effect will follow. There seems to be little speculative sentiment on the buying side, not enough at least to offset the bear pressure of increasing supplies. Some of these days this condition is likely to be reversed. There is none too much wheat in the world. Tremendous Receipt. Receipts of wheat, corn and oats at the 11 principal primary markets of the United States were 122,679,000 bushels greater from Jan. 1 to Aug. 6 this year than in the same period of last year. This is an increase of over 30 percent. HOG MARKET BREAK SHOWS LOCAL EFFECT IN PURE BRED SALE The fanciers of "good red hogs" wended their various ways out to the William Wilcoxen place, three miles southeast of Williamsburg, at noon on Thursday. The occasion was Mr. Wilcoxen's annual summer sale of registered Durocs, an event which usually opens the pure-bred hog season in Wayne county. The sale was held in a tent and the attendance was fairly large and representative . But the occasion lacked snap and go. Competition lagged. Hog Business Still Good. The continuous break in hog prices at central markets this week had a depressing effect upon breeders, and this, too, altogether out of proportion to its importance. The auctioneer, H. L. Igleheart, of Elizabeth, Ky., warned buyers that this country would still Farm Sale Calendar Monday, Aug. 22. Carl Ammerman on Elizabeth Cook farm, just north of Jacksonburg. Tuesday, Aug. 23. Edw.

produce hogs and its people continue , to consume hog products. He insisted that the present is the very time to get in on the ground floor as to pure-breds, and that all kinds of feeding enterprises are getting to a basis where there are profits in sight for men who have the right foundation stock. Choice Hogs at Low Prices. The offering was a good one, possibly the best ever shown on the Wilcoxen grounds. There were 44 head of tried ' sows, fall yearling sows, spring and summer yearlings and fall gilts in the sales ring. .But one boar was on offer and this animal wa3 bought at private sale after the close. The top on females was $60 and the general average was slightly under $40 per head, according to Will Lewis, the Williamsburg banker, who said that in the opinion of good judges of hogs that this might be considered a

"sacrifice" sale, in view of the choice character of the offering.
