GRAIN PRICES (Mctets by E. F. Inland & Ccranany. 212 Union National Ban-t Crildic) CHICAGO. Aug. 24. It was a nervous market in -wheat all day. The opening was weak and sharply lower with Liverpool and on the break in .foreign exchange, but there was a rapid advance soon after on shorts covering, and general buying induced by the strength in corn. Reports to export business were vague, but the opinion seemed to prevail that more business had been done than was generally admitted. Scandanavian countries took some wheat and Germany bought some rye yesterday. Cash markets were unchanged to about 2 cents lower. It was a bull market in corn, especially in the deferred deliveries, but best figures were not held. Weekly reports on corn from several states were bullish and confirmed more or less damage. The hot wave continued with no rain except in Indiant and Ohio, but the weather bureau had out prospects of a gradual breaking up of heat beginning tomorrow. Cash market unchanged to cent higher. No export was reported. Buying of May oats by a leading cash house around mid session started a covering movement on the part of the shorts and prices moved up briskly. The support eased on the part of shorts and prices moved up briskly. The support eased later and values reacted with other grains, but the greater part of gain was maintained. Cash, cats in good demand. Country offerings not large. Oats are very low. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

Oehm (United States Staff Correspondent) BERLIN.Aug. 24 The birthrate in Germany rises and falls in direct ratio to the fall and rise in the value of the American dollar. Figures gathered by the government from cities of 1,500 population and over show that the principal factors, aside from the fluctuation of the of the dollar, effecting the wavering birthrate line are exorbitant wholesale prices and the high cost of living 1 in trpnmi The figures tabulated by months, show that the rate of birth in Ger many during 1921 was highest in Feb ruary. From March until June 1921 a decided downward tread set in. This ceased abruptly in July. During the corresponding propagating months, it is pointed out, the dollar stood at a coomparatively high level in exchange value. The minimum birthrate act ually expected in November came in October. January was also a low birthrate month. In February and March, 1921, the value of the dollar was much more acceptable from the German viewpoint and a corresponding increase in birthrate was recorded in November and December. Medical authorities in the govern ment point out that the present com paritively low value of the mark will 1 do much to curtail the birthrate in the spring and summer of 1923. lb.; tomatoes, 3 lbs. for 10c, 75 and 8O0 bushel; cucumbers, 5 and 10c; lima beans, 15c a lb.; potatoes, 3c lb., 40c a peck; sweet Spanish onions, 5 cents each; dry onions. 68c lb.; peppers, 4c each; carrots, 5c a bunch; corn, 15c 20c a dozen; spinach, 15c lb; lettuce, 1015c per lb.; cauliflower, 25 30c lb.; celery, two stalks for 15c; wnite pickling onions, loc lb.; new white turnips, 5c lb.; okra, 40c lb.; Michigan peas, 20c lb.

In a talk with the manager of the elevator at Crete he stated that he recently received an offer of coal ; of course, Is not the regular price, but showed that there are men in the coal trade who are not averse to making a dollar in an emergency. Another country elevator man in the west end of the county said that he had heard nothing from coal shippers for some time. "The new order provides, said he, "that he make requisitions for coal, based, I think-, on a price of $5 at the mines, payment must be guaranteed by the bank, when the coal is ordered, so that if we want 2,000 tons we must put up $10,000, and await our turn, according to the priority regulations. It is felt that the situation as to coal will now be quickly cleared up ; in the soft coal districts of the middle 55 head of hoss and that he still has 140 head on feed.

Iowa State Fair Entries in the live stock show for 1922 at the Iowa State Fair indicate that the records of 1921 will be broken by a wide margin. In some of the classes the increase has been as much as 100 per cent over 1921. The increase has been especially noticeable in the boys' and girls' classes. One hundred and sixty calves wer entered in 1921. while there are 300 this year. The pig clubs cf the statt have entered over 500 head. Other classes in the junior department are similarly setting records. Eat More Pork Campaign In view of the great number of hog reaching market, and the recent larg'.n decline in prices, Wallace's Farmer; advocates an "Eat More Pork" campaign, giving its reasons, as follows: "While it is probable that hogs will: continue for some time to sell much higher than corn, it is nevertheless becoming increasingly evident every week that an over-production of hogs is coming on. The packers have begun already to predict six-cent hogs for this next winter. Ordinarily wo. have very little faith in packers' predictions, the packers being notoriously wrong In the winters of 1916-1917 and again last winter. This winter, however, it seems almost inevitable

that there will be a much larger supply of hogs on the market than was the case a year ago, and that the onlything which can keep the price from, going dangerously low is a great ln-t '4
crease in consuming demand. I J
We began last February talking about the need of an "Eat More Pork" campaign in the fall of 1922. The national meat board, which should
presumably put on this campaign, seems to be organizing very slowly. -' If the national meat board can not be made to function in this matter, we
suggest that the American Farm Bureau Federation take up this matter directly with the Chicago packers. An Eat More Pork" campaign is one of the most important problems before the corn belt farmers at the present time. During the past year, fairly good prices for hogs have kept corn belt farmers afloat in spite of the low corn prices. If we are to have low hog prices and low corn prices this coming winter, we shall face an almost unbearable situation. No stone should be left unturned in putting over this Eat More Pork campaign."
