Markets

GRAIN PRICES (Markets by E. r. Lelacd & Company, 212 Union National Bant Building) CHICAGO, July 11. Wheat The wheat market held strong practically all day, with the strength increasing as the session progressed, prices at the outside being around 3 cents higher than yesterday's finish. The government report was construed as moderately bullish. Liverpool was much higher, and the rail strike, being unfavorable, were the principal bullish factors. Cash markets everywhere were considerably higher, with good demand for cash wheat reported. There were scattered reports of rust in the northwest and parts of tho Canadian northwest, and the need of rains. July went to a wider premium over the September due to fears of a delayed movement, and July was very strong all day. There was a great deal of rain over the belt, with more forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Corn Corn was strong owing to slightly bullish construction placed on the government report, on short cov ering and light offerings. Corn followed wheat, but the close showed a slight reaction from the high of the day. A good part of the arrivals are being applied on previous sales, which leaves little available for buyers. The country offerings are not large. More , rain over northern and southern Illi nois during the night, but the added moisture had little effect on prices. Oats It was a very strong market in oats with the close at only slight recession from the high. There was considerable spreading between the September and December. Cash mar kets 1 higher with demand fairly good. Northwest houses were good buyers of oat3, and shorts also were good buyers. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

It is very evident that wheat Is moving freely toward market centers, In accordance with the widening spread of threshing operations. This means that grain is moving directly from the machines In quite a large way, and that speculators are taking advantage of the situation to depress prices. And while they are depressing prices exporters here and Importers across the seas are watching the hourly and daily price changes with great interest. The European importer is a bargain seeker. If bought cheaply he has a chance for a wider spread in profits when prices turn upward. Not only so but low prices Increase the consumptive demand for wheat, and more bread is sold and his turnover is larger. As to the American exporter, he is concerned only In being able to buy so as to sell f. o. b. at a profit. He is not greatly interested In bearing the price of grain. He would prefer selling $2 wheat at a profit to handling $1 wheat at a loss, or even at a smaller profit. In other words it is the possible profit and not the price which counts with him. In a broad way this will also apply to the speculator; his greatest effort and thought is to get on the right side of the ever changing market. But to the cash buyer of millions of bushels of grain as it pours into market; grain which may be stored and held for months, the initial cost Is important The interest on the investment will surely be heavy, the cost of storage, the shrink, the conditioning with the attached labor bills, all go to swell the expense of "carrying." This overhead must be anticipated, at least in good measure, and there is "insurance," for numerous elevators are burned, wholly or in part every year. Armour Grain company are now sueing for $6,000,000 on account of loss MAIL WARNING (Continued from Page One.) to New Franklin following alleged threats by strikers warning officials

of the Missouri, Kan?as and Texas toout season thoroughly, but they leave town within 24 hours. H. G.lbee-an threshing parlv m Ain .

Odell, trainmaster; R. E. Patterson, roadmaster, and O. O. Horton, supervisor of buildings, left New Franklin following the threats. Their departure was accompanied by "no disorder." Bloomington, 111., was one of the outstanding trouble centers, but apprehension was somewhat abated by the presence of troops, sent under orders by Lieut. Gov. Fred E. Sterling, acting in the absence of Gov. Len Small. The soldiers were greeted with jeers as they patrolled the shops and yards of the Chicago and Alton. Train Machine Guns Machine guns were trained In the direction from which a few shots were fired at the soldiers early today but the fire was not returned. The tense situation at Bloomington was aggravated by the clerks, who quit work after they had announced they would refuse to continue while troops were on guard in the shops. Officials of the train service brotherhoods also protested against the presence of soldiers. Officials of the striking shop crafts renewed their protest against the military occupaton but promised Cel. Culberson in command that they would do all that was possible to avert trouble. Deputy U. S. marshals guarding the International and Great Northern arrested two strikers at Laredo, Tex., after a strikebreaker was beaten badly. Passnger trains on the Fort Worth and Denver, and the Santa Fe side-swiped each 1 other at the Fort Worth junction. Both engines were badly damaged, but no one was hurt. Railroad officials said the accident was due to a mixup in signal lights and blame was not attached to the strike situation. The strike and resultant cancellation of trains has interrupted the United States senatorial campaign in Missouri, candidates being compelled to revise their itineraries. Acta of Violence ' Fresh acts of violence occurred in California. At Rose-viHe 15 milea from Sacramento, an employe of the Pacific Fruit Express was shot while on duty at a car icing plant. Armed strike! sympathizers were said to be occu :ers were said to be occu-1 itions commanding the icing I pying pos plant. One man was In jail at .Red Bluff, Calif., and another was out on $5,000 bond, charged with kidnaping Patrick Gallagher, a boiler-maker, employed in the Southern Pacific shops at Gerber. At New Castle, Calif., attempts were made to dynamite one of the largest water tanks on the Southern Pacific system. No indications of peace could be observed early today in either the attitude of the railroads or that of the strikers. The railroads are generally endeavoring to operate their shops and union headquarters stands firm in its determination not to weaken in the face of railroad ultimatums. GOES HARD WITH PRISONER NEW YORK, July 11. Because a prisoner said he never stole except when he was drunk and a policeman said the prisoner was always drunk, Judge Burt Humphreys sent the man to jail for 10 years.

HELLO -FRlENO-1 WOW ABOUT ' IT? 1922 er of millions of bushels of grain from explosion and fire at South Chicago last year. This suit is .to collect on the grain lost and not for the wrecking of the costly buildings. Bearish Foreign Situation The unfavorable foreign situation Is a most depressing factor, not only as to prices for grain but on every article we export. What does a franc, or what does a mark represent, what percentage of a dollar do each or either of these represent, when figured in international terms of exchange? The German paper mark, is almost worthless, and Germany is on a paper money basis. Whereas five gold marks represent a dollar In our coinage, 500 paper marks will fall a trifle short of buying one American dollar, today. The mark reached a new low level, on Monday. The coal miners long drawn out strike, and the strikes now affecting a portion of the railway workers and curtailing transportation, are also having an effect on all classes of business, and are limiting both production and consumption in a laree wit Verilly, the times are out of Joint and! it isnt at an clear who is able to mend them. Local Wheat Prices It has been a comparatively long time since wheat sold as low as 97 cents at a flour mill in Richmond, but that price was made early on Monday. This was a break of 3 cents per bushel, compared with last Friday. And this price of 97 cents was the ruling bid at country points after the grain began coming In on Monday forenoon. The shakedown of the bulls at Chicago on Saturday caused a low and weak closing, not merely at Chicago, but at all central markets. And this was largely caused by the German crisis and the consequent cancellation of large ordtrs placed by Germany, for both grain and provisions. Damp Wheat at Eldorado A. V. McClure, of Eldorado, said that the grain received on Monday was "damp." He had warned several farmers on Saturday, following the rains on Friday afternoon, that it would be well to let the shocks dry began threshing early on Monday, re gardless. At least a number of them did and the result was damp wheat which meant a dockage for excess moisture. Mr. McClure was paying 97 cents on Monday noon, for No. 2 in good condition and stated that he had shipped 6,000 bushels this season, principally to flour mills. He think3 that the wheat around Eldorado is threshing out from 13 to 15 bushels, on the average, with an occasional 20 bushel crop. A Report From Camden "While many of our farmers are selling freely, direct from the machines, others are inclined to hold for better prices." This was the report from the Farmers' elevator at Camden, on Monday afternoon. He said he was paying 98 cents for No. 2 and that the yields were light. The bulk of the grain so far received has not tested No. 2, said the elevator man, "in fact we have considerable No. S and some No. 4 in the Camden district." Manager Williams, of the Farmers' elevator at New Paris, says they took in a little 60 pound wheat last week, but no wheat was delivered up to noon on Monday. Mr. Williams said they had paid $1 for No. 2 last week, but the movement was light, as threshing had not gotten well underway until Monday, but with a favorable week for this work grain would now begin to move. The mills at Hagerstown and Lynn began the week by paying 97 cents for No. 2 red. Asked as to whether farmers were inclined to sell the miller at Hagerstown said that "most of them seemed to think it best to do so." Hunting the Barberry Farm to . farm inspection to locate plantings of the American barberry, harborer , of the black stem rust of wheat, were accelerated July 1, when 12 new federal scouts took the field in Ohio. Heretofore, barberry eradication has been handled by only two Inspection teams. Increased federal appropriations now available made possible this increase in the force. Teams of scouts are now working, or will shortly start work, in Lucus. Wood, Hancock, Hardin, Logan, Allen, Putnam counties. It is now proposed to cover half 0f Ohio in the search of the barberry before winter. Work in Allen and Putnam counties already has located 45 plantings of this noxious ornamental plant, distinguishable from the hamless Japanese barberry by its greater size, and by spiny-toothed leaves. Home demonstration specialists of the Ohio State University are carrying on the wheat field tours which have been held in a number of Ohio counties showing samples of bread! baked from poor varieties, and from I the standard varieties recommended by Ohio millers, and by the State College of Agriculture. Where the tour halts for the usual picnic lunch at noon, these workers set up an exhibit of both kinds of bread and pass out samples to the picnickers. Everybody agrees that bread made from Trumbull. Gladden, Portage or any of the other standard varieties makes bread of better flavor than "just wheat." Potato Spraying Pays Whatever disease and pests may affect the potato crops of Ohio will be found equally destructive in Indiana.

5 POLlCe.MEN Int-u Feature Service, Inc. ESTIMATES ON CROPS FALL BELOW ACTUAL HARVEST LAST YEAR By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The government estimates of the conditions of the five principal grain crops, as of July 1. were issued late Monday afternoon. The total of the estimated outturn of wheat, rye, oats, barley and corn is given at 5,128,000,000 bushels. This sum is 163,000,000 bushels below the estimates given out on the same date last year, and 18,000,000 under the final return in 1921. As showing what happened to wheat, rye, oats and barley in June, we note the loss of 163,000,000 bushels last month, comparing with the estimates made on June 1. But conceding this shrinkage In prospects these still favor a total harvest of four grains greater by 203,000,000 than were harvested a year ago. As a matter of fact the loss shown Is practically all of winter wheat, which is now estimated at but 569,000,000 bushels. Again, this is really but 18,000,000 short of the actual harvest In 1921. The July estimates of a total wheat crop of 817,000,000 bushels Is but 38,000,000 under the June returns. The promised spring wheat crop of 248,000,000 is 40,000,000 in excess of the spring wheat harvest, as threshed out, last year. It is also 22,000,000 bushels more than was estimated in 1921 and is 18,000,000 bushels more than the five year average. The estimates for the three northwestern states are for a crop of 150.000,000, which is fully 35,000,000 In excess of last year. Farm Reserves Reduced Compared with last year the wheat reserves n farms are greatly reduced at this time. These are given at 31, 641,000 and are 25,000,000 under the reserves reported on July 1, 1921. These are "farm reserves", remember, and do not include the stocks in the visible supply, which shows a total of 75,000, 000 bushels in all positions. Including the grain on the farms. The government estimates the figures, taken as a whole, show that we shall have an exportable wheat surplus in excess of 200,000.000 for the crop year. Corn Acreage Is Smaller Our readers will recall the camnaten made last fall and winter to induce xarmers to cut down their corn acreage. This does not seem to have had any effect, whatever, the reductions shown in various states being accredited to late rains and wet ground overflowed lands, etc. Be this as it may, there Is a loss of 616,000 acres shown in our corn acreage, as compared with iua.i actually Harvested last fall. The seven surplus corn states have a total of 46,333,000 acres, against 45549,000 acres last year. The total crop for the country is 2,860,000,000 bushels a drop of 220,000,000 bushels frcm last year's harvest At this time last year the estimate on the corrected basis was 3,051,000,000 bushels. The seven surplus states have 1,476,000,000 bushels, or 85,000,000 bushels less than last year's harvest. Acreage in Texas is somewhat reduced, and condition is low, 78, while in the big surplus states it ranges from 82 to 91, the latter in Iowa, and the northwest is 91 to 93 A drop of 118,000,000 bushels was made in the oats estimate to 1,187 000 -000 bushels, and, although the outlook is poor, prospects are for 126,000,000 bushels in excess of last year's harvest Ry crop is 24,000,000 bushels more man last year, barley 31,000 000 bushels, hay 10,000,000 tons, and flax 3,000,000 bushels In excess of last year s narvest. Indiana Crop Estimates An analysis of the government tables by states shows that Indiana Is due to thresh out 32,046,000 bushels of winter wheat, and should produce 34,027,000 bushels of oats. Our corn acreage stands at 101 per cent of an average and the condition is given a 84 per cent This indicates a crop, according to the government's July 1 estimate of 170,749,000 bushels this year. These estimates, compared with those given out as of June 1. show a loss or about 2.000.000 bushels of wneat, or nearly 13,000,000 bushels of oats, and an increase of about 1.000,000 bushels of corn. For this reason the spraying tests made in Ohio in 1921, and their combined results as here shown, will Interest our own farmers. We have more than four carloads of imported, certified seed now growing in Wayne county, in addition to any quantity of various kinds of seed potatoes, home grown and from outside states. The report states that: The average yield of potatoes in Ohio is only about 60 bushels to the acre. By following a new practice tried out for the first time on a number of Ohio farms last summer, yield increases around 30 bushels to the acre were obtained. Fifty farms in eight counties agreed to work with extension specialists in spraying potatoes with Bordeaux mlTturo tvi. kill the leaf hoppers that cause hopper burn, and kill the foliage by potatodigging time. Average yield increase to the acre on the 200 acres of potatoes where this treatment was thus demonstrated was 34 bushels. Farmers who sprayed four times got increases averaging 44 bushels to tho acre. Hopperburn was especially bad last year, says the scientists, and they do not guarantee precisely the same increases this year, but they believe that such spraying, if done so as to wet the underside of the potato leaves, will always get Increases sufficient to pay many times over for the labor involved.
