GRAIN PRICES (Mckets t7 K'F. Leiatii & Company. 212 Union Nitionai Ban 2zi!ding) CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 16. Wheat was unsettled today and flucuated within a range of about l1 cents, breaking early, only to recover later on short covering and then easing off when the buying eased. There was no material pressure on the market, however, and locals were not inclined to press the bear side, due to the heavy liquidation of late and to the comparative strength in corn. Cash demand only fair, but premiums were up a little on old crop wheat. Country offerings not large with moderate sales at the seaboard for export. Offers of 1,500,000 bushels of No. 2 Manitobas were made to Greece over night for acceptance Friday. Export business today was estimated at a half million and those who worked wheat to Switzerland yesterday claimed they bought three cargoes. This would bring yesterday's export business up to around a million. Weather forecast is for continued warmness. Corn-There was considerable profit taking iy corn which tended to check the advance but that grain aver- i aeed riishpr uHth Rpntcmhor at nnp time selling at 60 cents. This brought out considerable increase in offerings to arrive from Illinois and Iowa and premiums on No. 2 yellow on spot eased off about cent. Exporters continued after cash corn here with fair sales made. Dry and hot weather continues in the corn belt and some damage is claimed in parts of Kansas and Nebraska. Oats reflected the action of corn and closed fractionally under the high o fthe day. The cash market was steady to Vz higher. Oats will follow the course of other grains.

1922 Jill!!) 1021 Coolidge Breaks Ground For Statue of Roosevelt; Pays Him High Tribute (By Associated Press) PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16. Vice President Calvin Coolidge broke ground here yesterday for an equestrian statue of the late Theodore Roosevelt, donated to Portland by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. The vice president paid tribute to Col. Roosevelt, who, he said, though born in New York city, with a physical handicap difficult to overcome, was possessed of that resourcefulness and love of humanity which enabled him in the end to come before his fellow Americans as a man sprung from the soil. "He loved the great outdoors, he loved the activities of life, he coined that sentence that went into the hearts ot a11 those who were like minded when he said 'we are to live the strenuous life.' He represented that more than anything else," said Mr. Coolidge. "Col. Roosevelt was filled with the love of humanity," the vice president added, "and a broad human sympathy animated all of his actions and was the keynote of his life, his activity and his public service. "He lived in a day that required the efforts of a strong man and his ef forts did not fail America in her need.

The Farm and By William R. CROPS AND PRICES For the first time on the crop September wheat at Chicago broke under the dollar mark, on Tuesday. That option made a low of 99 during the mornine but recovered a trine auu closed at $1.00, a very weak close, compared with $1.04 on last Satur day, and $1.25 on the same date last year. But this doesn't tell the whole story of red winter markets. At Kansas City the September option closed at 93. which is below the prices paid at our farm elevators. St. Louis closed at 99 on Monday and about 1 cent lower on Tuesday. At Chicago on Tuesday the May option got down to $1.05, but rallied and closed at $1.07, within one-half a cent of the top on the day. Liverpool closed at $1.30 on Monday against $1.34 on Saturday, August 12. This shows that Chicago was not alone in "hammering" the market. That wheat had an off day everywhere, in fact two off days, for the rather considerable decline on Monday was followed by still further losses on Tuesday. The market reports on this page shows just what happened on Wednesday. We confess that we see little use of shipping oats from any western point, unless the railways are hauling them for nothing, which we doubt. With the best white oats selling at 33 cents on track at Chicago and the September option down to 31 cents, or below, the outlook for growers is far from satisfactory. Corn has been holding its own better than the balance of the list. September rye is down to 70 cents, against $1.12 on same date in 1921; a drop of more than 50 cents a bushel, by comparison. , One Broker's View A leading grain buyer says: ' When prices for grains were advancing dur ing the war markets, and for t'ao long period following bearish news acted as a setback at times. Breaks were not extensive and buying on them fol lowed. Now it is the reverse. Soni'; of the commission houses are gettin orders from the country to sell grains short in addition to the hedging sales, making it harder for those who try to support values in the absence of outside help." Regarding the decline in grains on Monday one close observer-, tells us that: "Lowering the price of wheat and oats does not increase the buying power, and while the market was regarded as oversold owing to the heavv selling of late, the rally was small and the feeling among the trade In the main was not changed from the recent belief that for the present values are likely to go lower. This seems to impress the traders more than any OIL PRICES FIXED BY FEW, SAYS SOLON (By- United Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. America's oil industry is dominated by a few large producing companies and the price of gasoline "is fixed arbitrarily by the oil monopolists," Senator Harrold, Oklahoma charged in the senate today, urging a duty in the tariff bill of 35 cents a barrel on crude petroleum and 25 cents a barrel on fuel oil imported into this country. Replying to the argument that a tariff would increase the price of gasoline and oil to the consumer, Harreld declared that "it is the policy of these monopolists to buy the crude oil as cheaply as possible and to sell it for all the public will pay and the purchaser will be forced to pay by the nuinnnnliKts Tvhpthpr this tariff is ad- ! dpd nr Tint " Harreld attacked the Standard Oil company, the Edward L. Doheny company and the Royal Dutch Shell company on grounds that they had a monopoly on Mexican production and were seeking a monopoly on the production in the United States.

tLEEP: the Farmer Sanborn other factor. For the present there is no disposition to bull the market." There has been considerable doubt as to the amount of wheat that India would be able to spare for export this fceason, and now we ' have an official crop estimate from the British government. This estimate is for a crop of 366,000,000 bushels against 251.000.000 harvested in 1921. Based on pre-war consumption this would show an exportable surplus of nearly 60,000,000 bushels. Threshing returns to the Northwestern railroad from Minnesota show spring wheat yields ranging from 10 to 20 bushels; barley, 15 to 40 bushels; oats, 30 to 75 bushels; rye, 11 to 36 bushels; South Dakota spring wheat. 10 to 36 bushels; barley, 12 to 50 bushels; oats, 20 to 58 bushels, and rye, , 10 to 32 bushels. J It Is now surmised that any material lowering of the price of Canadian wheat at Winnipeg may result in the government taking control in the interest of the farmers, and for their protection. October wheat in Winnipeg is about on a parity with September prices in Chicago, and this for choice pnng wheat which brings a consider able premium in this country over our soft red winters. Peaches at $1 a Bushel Peaches are retailing at $1 a bushel at English, Ind., and at several points m Crawford county. The crop is very a.bundant and is said to be ripening two to three weeks earlier than normal, which is proving to be unprofitable, as they are rotting quickly. It is said that Cincinnati has been receiving a world of peaches and speculators have been trucking them out 50 or more miles and selling them at low prices and still realizing a fair profit. The report from Greencastle is to the effect that the peach crop nowbeing gathered is the best in the recollection of the orchardists. Thousands of bushels have been produced in the county and are being shipped over a wide area. The finest peaches are bringing $2, and the smaller kinds $1.50 per bushel. Daviess county also reports a bump er peacn crop and it is said has had the satisfaction of marketing a gooJ part of the crop early and when prices were around the season's top. It will take another week or more to matur-3 the late peaches. Contrary to general fears the railway strike has not yet affected shipments. Secretary Wallace's Talk Leesburg, Virginia, is in easy motoring distance from Washington, io 'tis not surprising that Secretary Wallac ;- ran out there to address a farmer?' picnic, on Monday. In the course ot his talk Mr. Wallace said: "The farmer calls upon capital and labor to cease their petty bickerings and resume production, trusting to American institutions, and the American sens-1 of fair play to see that justice is done." Mr. Wallace presented comparative figures to show that the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar had decreased sharply since 1913, "while the wages of the workman, and especially in organized industries, are considerably higher than they were before the war, whether measured in dollars and cents or in purchasing power." Compares Purchasing Power "The purchasing power of the wages of the railway employe in 1921. ' he continued, "was 51 per cent greater than in 1913. The purchasing power of the wages of the coal miner in 1921 was 30 per cent greater than in 1913. The purchasing power of the farmhand, who works for wages, in 1921 was 4 per cent less than in 1913. whil; the purchasing power of the farmer himself was. on an average, from to 45 per cent less than in 1913. "In short," Mr. Wallace emphasized, "the farmers have borne the heaviest burden of deflation. They have endeavored to get relief by all lawful means. But they have not struck. They have not created disorders. They have kept on purchasing and in the face of extraordinarily low prices, have this year grown one of the largest crops in our entire history. ine iarmer OpIipvps in law anrf nrnpr "If other groups would do as the farmer has done, our economic troubles would soon be over. Prices would soon be adjusted to their normal relationships. There would be work for everybody and at Just wages."
