GKAIN PRICES 0 (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 5. All grains average higher under the influence of stronger foreign markets and domestic transportation conditions -which are rapidly approaching an acute stage. While full advances were not maintained the closing was strong. Oats however, lagged at the last, owing to an easing up in the cash situation. Some export business in wheat and corn and further inquiries in the market. Business is limited, owing to lack of grain at seaboard ports and inability to move it from the interior. Farmers in many sections are said to be anxious tcrjtake advantage of the recent enhancement in values, but elevator and shippers are unwilling to assume the risk of moving the grain; western Iowa is already under partial embargo. A trading position is probably best at the moment, although we hare confidence in much higher values later on. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National.

LONDON, Oct. 5. Reginald Mc-

Kenna's address before the American Bankers' Association convention in New York yesterday is given prominent display in this morning's London newspapers and is the subject of .much editorial comment, mostly apprecia tive. The Daily Telegraph thinks the former chancellor's statement will smooth the path for Sir Robert Home, present chancellor of the Exchequer, when he arrives in America to discuss the question of interallied debts with American

treasury officials and the debt funding commission. It regrets, however, that Sir Robert's visit was not timed to precede the; adoption of the Fordney tariff bill, "when the British point of view might I have been urged with a rather better chance of its influencing American opinion." f Claim Tariff Bar The newspaper says. nobody, can realize better than Mr. McKeflba "how effectively that unfortunate barrier

(the tariff) must check the flow of that exportable surplus from Great Britain to America, whereby we could best pay our debts." The Morning Post congratulates Mr. McKenna on the "dignified and tact

ful manner" in which he handled the

question of the British debt to the

United States, and deduces that he favors some kind of joint action by the creditor countries to, relieve the situa

tion. The newspaper believes Mr. McKen na's recommendation of greater latl

tude for Germany would be approved in financial circles here, but thinks such a course ought to be combined

with effective means for obtaining

some toll on the future prosperity ol

Germany. This last point is also mad by some of the other commentators.

NEW CORN ON SALE The recent strength in December corn resulted in some sales of new corn for mid-December delivery at Chicago, at 50 cents per bushel, for No. 3. Bids at 50 cents were accepted by country elevators at pearby Illinois points, on Tuesday, practically mark

ing the opening of the sales of the new crop for December shipment. The price, be, it noted, was for No. 3, which carries more moisture than does No. 2 that early in the season, when there is mighty little new corn In sight that will grade No. 2. December corn made a new high at 61, on Tuesday, the top on that option since early in July. With an ad

vance in corn came a break in hogs

of from 20c to 40c in the day's range

This carried the general average price

off to $8.80 on the day, the lowest since the second week in September. There were 38,000 hogs on sale, nearly

one third of which were held in the

pens over Tuesday night.

The convention of the Iowa State Society of Equity met at Waterloo on

Oct. 3, in annual session. Inasmuch as

the Society of Equity and the Farm

ers' Union, have been working harmoniously together for some time in the west, there is a chance that measures

may be introduced that will bring

these bodies into still closer relations,

Although not generally known it is a fact that the Equity and Farmers' Union jointly control the live stock

commission companies established by

the Equity, both at St. Paul and Chi cago. and this entirely without refer

ence to the action of the farm bureau "committee of fifteen." Both of these companies are now doing a large business, and notably so at St. Paul Married Seven Sisters Under the modest headline "News Item "Wallaces' Farmer prints the almost unbelievable matrimonial adventure:

BETTER TIMES AHEAD, OPINION OF BANKERS:

POINT TO GOOD SIGNS

By HERBERT WALKER NEW YORK, Oct. 5. "Better times" for American business are "just ahead" in the opinion of representative bankers here for the convention of the American Bankers' association. An "air of confidence and optimism is

apparent among the financial leaders.

The belief is frequently expressed

that with the industries of the nation

no longer hampered by nation-wide

strikes and with business continuing their steady progress toward normal,

the country is neanng its most pros

perous period since the days of war

time inflation.

Bankers from the middlewest say

that the situation in the great agricultural region which was hit hardest by the post-war deflation is sldwly but steadily improving. They declare that the federal government, through the agencies of the farm loan board, the war finance corporation and the federal reserve board has enabled the banks

to extend loans to farmers who were caught in financial difficulties hecause

of declining prices. Many of the mid

west bankers, however, believe freight

rates on farm products should be reduced further.. .

Point to Good Sign3 Bankers from the manufacturing regions point out that the twin rail and coal strikes tended to halt production and thi3 will result in gFeat. activity during the winter months. The convention today was to hear Secretary Hoover, who may reveal the Harding administration's exact attitude toward the almost unanimous opinion of the bankers that the United States should step in and solve the great economic and financial problems nf KiironA

If Hoover does touch on this question, he is expected to point out cer

tain steps that must be taken by Eu

ropean countries before the United States government will attempt to readjust the war torn business structure

of the old world. -

Governor Henry J. Allen, of Kan

sas, will tell the bankers about hi3

hobby, the Kansas industrial court.

it-

New Grain Bill A number of country editors, or

rather editors of farm papers, say that the two big things accomplished by

me new grain bill, to be effective on Nov. l, are: that producers co-operative associations are enabled to operate on boards of trade, and that the department of agriculture is given the

power to make a thorough study of hedging, speculation, manipulation, etc.

So far as admitting, co-operative

saies associations to the trading floors, there is little, if anvthme to be earned.

That such associations can do 'busi

ness as cheaply as can the well orean

Ized, perfectly equipped and long es-

taonsned concerns, is to be doubted, and that they can get one dollar more

for 100 cars of grain is out of the question. As a fact their selling will be almost entirely to the men now in

control of the grain business of the world, who will continue to make the price In accordance with upply

ana aemana. Further than this the law oerthit

ting their action on the floor does not furnish the money with which to

transact business, and to handle

large tonnage of grain means the use of an immense capital. May sound

line neresy but why mince the truth

ir the co-operators cannot own the

great terminal facilities through which

the grain is handled, then they must

inevitably pay tribute to those who

do own them. There is no escape from

mis conclusion. Membership Lists Wanted

reau. makes a clarion call for mem bership lists from the various coun ties, same to be brought down to date

The article reads as follows:

"Reports that come to the state office from different sections indicate

that there are a number of member

ships in the farm bureau. that have not been turned in from the' townships and counties to the state office. This

is an Injustice to the member paying his dues, as well as an injustice to the county in which the member belongs. It should be remembered that representation at the annual meeting

or tne t-eaeration is based on the number of memberships, each county be

ing entitled to one delegate for each

500 members, or major portion thereof, and the state is represented at the annual meeting of the American

farm bureau on a membership basis

also.

"Consequently, It behooves all coun.

ty and township officials to make an effort not only to send in the names

and fees for all members that have been secured to date, but to round up as many renewals and new members as is possible between now and the

annual meeting."

At this time the district directors are selected by the county presidents

and secretaries of the farm bureau.

This is done under the amended rule

to the constitution, enacted at the las

annual meeting. The directors for the even numbered districts are to be elected this year. James K. Mason,

of Milton, was elected director in th

eighth district, to succeed Marshal

Volger, who has served for the pas:

two years.

tion at Indianapolis sold a total o:

centage 'on rail receipts fell off in

that month. After six or eight months of getting ready it is now expected that the Producers will open an office at Buffalo some time this month. No general manager or sales staff had been hired upto Oct. 1, but this action was being seriously considered at that time.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 5. Over an

area more than 100 miles square, scat

tered forest fires blazed today in northern Minnesota, while forestry and state military officials directed

the fight to subdue them and hopefully scanned the skies for forecasts

of rain. -

Many small settlements are threat

ened by the flames. Several are re

ported virtually wiped out but as the

present menace has been of long duration there have been no casualties and

none is looked for unless the wind at

tains exceptional velocity.

For the moment attention has

turned from the iron ranges north of Duluth to the Cuyuna range in Crow Wing county, where the little village of Manganese felt the threat of fire late yesterday. More than 100 men

were on duty in that area today and

they hoped to hold back the flames even if the wind should rise again.
