WHEAT FLUCTUATION RAPID DURING WEEK; PRICE FALLS SHARPLY (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Fluctuations in wheat were rapid the past week, values failing to get far in either direction. September wheat dropped sharply at one time on scattered liquidation and went to two cents under the December. Compared with week ago wheat was to lc lower; corn was a shade lower to c higher, and oats to c off. Lard showed a loss of 5 to 33 c and ribs were unchanged to 15c up. Local sentiment in wheat was bearish most of the week on account of the relatively slow foreign demand and tie general depressing character of European trade. Hedging sales against spring grain have ben in creasing rapidly with farmers selling "freely. The movement on both sides of the line, however, has been limited because of the transportation situation. Corn 6howed considerable resistance to selling pressure and while declining sharply at one time rallied quickly. White the market averaged lower the first part of the week, reports of crop damage from hot and dry weather and crop reports which showed a heavy reduction in the estimated yield as compared with the government's Aug. 1. figures tended to give the market an upward turn. Have Heavy Loss Losses were said to be heaviest in the west and southwest. Cash demand was fairly good and exporters took liberal quantities of grain from the west. Old corn was sold by the country rather freely to arrive on the bulges, but shot off on the breaks. Foreign demand was only fair. Oats reflected the action of corn. Trade was mainly of a local character. September showed relatively more strength than the December and went under the deferred delivery. Provisions averages lower, liquida tion of September and December lard being responsible for a sharp decline, with support more or less lacking.

The Farm and By William R. PEACHES FOR THE PICKING Kansas City sends out a report that the cutting down of freight service to the Missouri-Arkansas fruit district is resulting in big losses to grower. With local storage plants filled to canacitv. and with shipments impossible, many farmers are allowing peawuc.-. to rot on the trees, or selling them at 10 cents a bushel to those who will pick them and furnish their own baskets to carry them away in. This almost incredible condition was brought about by the shopmen's strike, is the report. The railroads running into that territory have had a lot of trouoie, as nas oeen tuuii in press reports during the past nionth. As against this showing we note the conditions confronting a number of Michigan growers of early ap ples, plums, pears and peaches. These recently reported that prices at Chicago, their nearest big market and natural outlet were so low on apples that the freight bills at times mora than covered the money received for the crop, and this came pretty nearly being true "as to plums and peaches, as well. In consequence much Michigan fruit is not now being sent to market. The Natiopal Fruit Marketing association, organized through the efforts of the American farm bureau, has a big job cut out It is handling California Droducts in a national way, be ing a part of that organization, and will be in shape to handle all fruits by the first of the year, at the latest, and to have its own co-operative sales offices and representatives in all cities of the north and east This will cut into the business of an army of "scalpers' next season. Wayne Fair Headquarters The headquarters of the Wayne County Fair is at 15 North Ninth street in the Palladium building, where Secretary Charles Hodge will cordially welcome all comers.

Corn Crop Outlook In reviewing the corn crop situation by states a Chicago market and crop reporter says: Northern Ohio, northern Indiana, northern Illinois, northern Missouri, all of Iowa, eastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas will mature a good crop of corn. Iowa is exceptionally good. The territory named comprises about two-thirds of the corn belt In the remaining third corn is in very bad shape. Basing government term "normal' at 100 per cent the percentage compari&sn is as follows: Ohio, 88; Indiana, 86; Illinois, 78; Missouri, 85; Iowa. 95; Nebraska, 62; Kansas, 68; Oklahoma, 57. The longs in September wheat ran away from the deliveries due on September 1, and sold out their lines, which broke the market to 99 cents on the last day of August. While it was not expected that the deliveries would be heavy on the first day of the month scattered holders took a chance on evening up and being ablo to replace their lines to advantage, later. The two cent break on Thursday was purely a matter of speculation, having little or nothing to do with ' supply or demand, but just a case of lightweights getting out from under, prior to deliveries. Cattle are Higher While the grain markets were droopy on Thursday the market for good beef cattle was described as "booming. Fancy 1,287 pound Angus cattle sold as high as $11.25, or 15t; above Wednesday's top, with all the good steer offerings up 10c to 15e on the day. Butcher stock ruled strong and calves advanced 25 cents, at Chicago. At the same time top light shipping hogs reached $9.85. Native lambs were strong at $13.00 for best on offer. It is interesting to note that the average price on hogs at Chicago at $8.20, on Thursday, was just 5c under the average price on the same date last year. The Wall Street Farmers A New York correspondent who has been going up and down in Wall street states that farmers are asserting, "with some basis in fact, that their grain and other products, at present prices, are at an unwarranted discount compared with the output of factories, mines and mills." The writer then goes on to say, that: "Their complaint, however justified, gives no promise of bringing relief. The farmers of the nation are slated to wind up with a fairly successful year in 1922. That is, they will be able to get themselves out of debt for the first time in the two years since the period of depression started and have a fair margin of profit remaining for the purchase of necessaries and some luxuries. This prediction was approved and confirmed today by a half dozen bankers in various districts who are in close touch with agricultural communities and who are helping finance the movement of the crops. Where the Trouble Lies "The cause for the presentdissatisfaction of the farmer lies in the export situation," these bankers assert. This country, they said, could and would absorb even the big bumper crops raised this year, but not at high prices. The difference between a big year and a fair year for the farmer lies in the amount of his products shipped abroad. The European demand depends largely on Germany, and the financial condition of that country must become worse before it is better. "Europe Is willing and anxious to

buy American agricultural products but she is unable to pay for them' Lurope will .need about 27,000,000 more bushels of wheat than was imported last year because of the falling off in European acreaee nlantert unfavorable growing conditions and lack of fertilizers. But Great Britain is the only country in a condition to become a profitable consumer. We may give grain to Russia, but we can not sell to her. France is dependent financially to a large extent on Germanys ability to rehabilitate the mark. Italy will not be a large buyer and central Europe Is virtually bankrupt" Warning of I. W. Plant When the attorney general of a state Issues a statement to the public, as was done by that official in North Dakota, on Thursday, in relation to the I. W. W. and their treatment of the farmers, it is certain to attract nation-wide attention. He states that "so rapid has been the growth of this organization that a'crisls impends in crop raising communities." He further states that 5,000 members are enrolled in one city alone, and that officials of the I. W. W. have instructed their working members to keep their wage demands 50 cents to $1 ahead of whatever the farmers may offer. "In conclusion" says the attorney general, "destruction of crops and property, and terrorism of the nature practiced five or six years ago in some western communities, is a part of the I. W. W. program." The farmers of the entire country. and particularly of the wide and thinly settled spaces of the northwest, have had troubles in plenty in the past two years, without being menaced by the curse indicated. The pifituro drawn by the attorney general of North Dakota is doubtless true to life, in view of the action of the I. W. W. in the far west a few years ago, if the press reports of their depredations at that time were true. New Live Stock Charges A new set of rules for commission charges was issued from Washington, not for the entire country, but for the Baltimore live stock exchange, on Thursday. This exchange will be permitted to put into effect a new schedule of commission charges for prorating co-operative shipments of live stock handled by its members under an order of the packers and stockyard administration. The order authorizes members of the exchange to charge, in addition to the regular commission rates on live stock: $1 a car when consigned by more than one aad not more than five owners: $1.50 a car when consigned by more than five and not more than ten: $2 a car for more than ten and not more than twenty owners, and $3 a car for more than twenty owners. It was further ordered that such rates would be held in effect until the inquiry into the matter is fully completed.
