Markets

GRAIN PRICES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Sept. 2C Firmness in Winnipeg, in face of heavy receipts, brought about. a substantial advui.ce in prices early, there after a good part of the advance was lost, but again on the dip commission houses and cash interests were liberal buyers. News is very conflicting but in the main the trade is more influenced by the heavy movement of Canadian grain than by any other factor. On the other hand stocks abroad, as -well as in this country are very small for this season of the year. Bradstreets figures on available stocks show more than 42 million bushel less than a year ago. Corn and oats continued very strong, the former closing at a substantial advance, while Sept. oats was the only delivery materially higher. It is reported that industrials have been finding a very good demand for their products and have been good buyers of cash oats in recent weeks.

Women are expected to be the deciding factor in the Republcan primary in New Jer sey today. Senator Joseph S. Frelinghoysen, a close political and personal friend of President Harding, running in the direct primary for renomination, is faced with a bitter enemy and a ctrong opponent in George L. Record, Jersey City lawyer who has fought him in every coiner in the state. Leaders in the Republican party say frankly that Mr. Frelinghuysen is ir. a real fight and they predict that a big vote by the women, polled early, will go a long distance towards determining the result. War between Frelinghuysen and Record was declared early in the cam paign. Record hired an automobile truck and went to the villages. He preached the "curbing of monopolies." He attacked Frelinghuysen's record in the senate, waging a bitter battle wherever he went. Senator' . Frelinghuysen" also has made an active campaign travelling by touring car or train. His meetings were not on street corners, but in halls. He spoke to the masses, but only such of them as could get into the buildings, while Record was calling everyone to gather in front of the general stores or at cross town streets. There have been bitter fights in the party before, but politicians say today's fight has aroused more feeling than any previous contest. 3r Circuit Court TWO DIVORCE SUITS Two suits for divorce alleging cruel and inhuman treatment were filed in circuit court late Monday. They were Nola against Harry Mills and George against Susie Henderson.

Public opinion in Greece is exercised over the reported mobilizing of Serbian forces near the northern frontier of Greece, together with the activities of the Bulgarians.

Brigadier General Sir Charles Harington, British commander has sent a request to Mustapha Kemal Pasha, Nationalist chief, for the withdrawal of the cavalry. Pending receipt of his reply a British mobile column has been stationed between Chanak and Eren Keui, ready for eventualties. Reports of disturbed conditions in Constantinople itself with the secret mobilization of men and munitions in Stamboul, the Turkish capital were capped last night by a bulletin stating that a fire was raging in upcer Pera street one of the capital's main thoroughfares. No details were given but the population was said to be in a state of panic. Previous dispatches said Lady Harington and the wives of 16 other su perior officers had left the city, and that the remaining officers' wives were preparing to leave today.

TheF o n arm nr By William GENERAL MARKET PRICES The need for more "orderly" marketing of wheat is exemplified in the manner in which Canadian farmers are now rushing their srain to market. Just think of a town the size of Winnipeg receiving more than 8,000 cars of spring wheat per week, and think of farmers delivering more than 9,000,000 bushels at country stations tributary to that market in 48 hours, last week. This is at the rate of more than 27,000,000 per week, while the rush is on. And these country deliveries were made on but two of the principal railroads in the Winnipeg district Political conditions abroad are the dominating factor in grain prices just now. As long as this status governs we may look for erratic price changes over a comparatively wide range. During the next six weeks the market will be under the maximum pressure of the spring wheat movement, on both sides the International line. What is done in Canada will be reflected in our own northwestern spring wheat states. It is but natural that under that pressure the lowest prices on the crop should rule. The changing of that vast quantity of wheat into cash is a load that somebody will have to carry. But nevertheless the impression is growing that December wheat at Chicago is apt to linger around $1 and that it is not likely to sell materially lower than that, at the lowest. And regardless of the fact that $1 for December deliveries of wheat seems low, in view of the high level of commodities in general, the argument is to the effect that if the farmer can secure $1 per bushel for the bulk of his crop this year, he will be doing pretty well, considering world conditions. But $1 in Chicago, with 20 cents or more for freight and handling isn't $1 on the farm, by a long shot. Foreign Financial Factors Those able to hold wheat are mostly inclined to do so, but the general financial situation tends to force the grain to market as fast as it can be moved. In summing up the world wheat condition it is estimated that the increased production in North America this year about equals the decresae in tho European crop, making foreign financial conditions the underlying price factor again, as It has been for the last two years. The range on September wheat at Chicago last week was from a low of $1.02 to a high of $1.09- On December the range was from $1.02 to $1.09, and on May, $1.06 o $1.13. These figures indicate an active and excited market. But if we go back to the week ending Saturday, September 16, we find that September wheat sold as low as 98c, December at $1.02, with May making a bottom of $1.04 for the week. A year ago in the third week in September, wheat sold at $1.30 for December and at $1.34 for May But when we consider corn the situation is reversed. Corn is up a good 10c per bushel over prices ruling for September and December deliveries last year on that date. Oats, however are more nearly on a parity with last year's prices, at this time. Average Live Stock Prices During the first week in August light hogs reached a top of $11 et Chicago. This was followed by a downward swing in the price pendulum, but prices have been steadily climbing of late and on last Saturday fanc lights brought $10.55, followed by a top of $10.65 on Monday. The average price of hogs at Chicago last week was $9; up 40 cents compared with a week earlier and against an average price of but $7.50 for the same week last year. The cattle average last week was $10.25, against $10.05 for the week ending Sept. 16 and $7.90 in the same week in 1921. But look at lambs. The average price last week was $13.85, as against but $8.55 one year ago. This clearly shows the result of sacrificing the flocks within past 20 months. F. B. Membership Drives. A conference of farm bureau field men was held in Chicago last week when intense organization work for the balance of the fall was mapped out. The session lasted for three days and was presided over by Charles E. Gunnels, director of the department of organization, and one of the live wires of the American farm bureau. The first thing on the proeram was a check-up of the results during the j year to-date. The work done was reviewed in detail, experiences of the J various toilers in the farm bureau! vineyard being given to illustrate the points brought up. Questions involving county and state collection of dues, development of county and state leadership, the use of organization publicity material and amounts needed for campaigns, programs of work in connties and communities and perplexing local problems of organization, were all discussed. . Plans were worked out for developing closer cohesion between' departments within the Chicaao officp and as to how best the idea could be given to the farmer that the Farm bureau is his organization, one in which he has an individual part rather than some more or less vague association which he is asked to join in order to rpceivp certain benefits provided for him. It was pointed out . that the individual must be convinced that the whole national organization is not to' be censured or condemned for mistakes or weaknesses on the part of local organizations and associations.

Use of Acid Phosphate Pays The extension department of the Missouri U. sends out the following: statement, one which is of timely interest to many Wayne county farmersjust now, as wheat seeding is about to ..Pn- The Btatement is as follows: ' 'The use of acid phosphate on wheat this fall would be a. paying proposition on many farms, says P. F. Schow-. engerdt, soils extension specialist. In experiments conducted in different parts of the State and covering a period of several years, an application of 175 pounds of 16 per cent acid 1 phosphate per acre has given an average increase of 5.7 bushels of wheat per acre. Where clover was seeded on the wheat the phosphate held over and also increased the yield of clover hay 1,222 pounds per acre. At present prices a 175 pound application of 16 per cent acid phosphate should not cost over $2 If wheat is figured at $1 per bushei 5.7 bushels gain would be worth $5.70. With cloved hay worth $10 per ton 1,222 pounds gain would be worth $6.10. Thus $2 invested in acid phosphate has given in careful field tests an increase of wheat and clover worth $11.80. Down in Arkansas If you have considered the matter at all, and have decided as so many have done for years, that the Arkansas farmer is backwoodsy and nonprogressive, read this statement which comes from Washington.
