Markets

GKAJJN PRICES I (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., !212 Union National Bant Ealldlng) CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 9. Grains were ! irregular, wheat closing fractionally lower, while all deliveries of corn and May oats finished higher. Liverpool cables were strong and there was some wheat worked for export but a general demand was restricted by reduced purchasing power on the part of several European nations and the domestic shipping situation. Exporters appear to want considerable grain in nearby position but little is available. The government report, issued at the close, lowered the spring wheat yield to 268,000,000 bushels and all wheat to 810,000,000 bushels. Some of the strength in corn was due to a belief that the report would show a sharp lowering in the corn prospect, but the condition wa3 given at 78.4 against 78.6 last month and the crop 2,853 million bushels versus 2,875 million bushels. The yield, however, will be well under last year's and with heavy farm consumption indicated this winter, corn Is regarded as in a strong position.- The oats crop was lowered, being estimated e.t 1,230 million versus 1,255 million bushels last month. We believe conditions are gradually shaping themselves for higher markets. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Oct. 9.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

THE GRAIN TRADE The federal trade commission is holding sessions in New York for the purpose of investigating the specula tive markets and the so-called manipulation of prices. This means they are putting a few big grain traders on the grilL One of these, Jesse H. Livermore, a trader In both stock and grain, and one of the heaviest operators at Chicago, declared that he had never known of any manipulation In the commodity markets, and that he "did not think the operations of any individuals influenced market prices of commodities on the board of trade," Mr. Livermore insisted that the public grain market was an institution of genecal beneft, both to fanners and consumers ; also that a market for futures was necessary to allow farmers facilities to dispose of their products whenever they werei ready to do so. "But for the future market" he declared, "that a few large tlevator corporations would control grain prices at will." Explaining his own operations in grain, the witness said: "They are just like those in any of the other markets. I figure and guess at future supply and demand by judging by similar events in the past and by studying the present statistical positions. The only time a speculative investor makes money is when he fore casts the future correctly, when ha sees probable future conditions, and judges future prices. Mr. Livermore defined a speculative investor as a man who "sizes up" fu ture sets of conditions and who trades on the basis of his conclusions.. He declared both speculator and gambler who took short flying chances were . i -1 - . . . ' siauiuzers oi ine marKet. Denies Manipulation "I don't know of any manipulation In the commodity markets," said the witness. "Nor do I think there are any attempts at manipulation. Man lpuiaiion is only a newspaper crea tion, because it is an easy explanation and makes good copy. Fluctuation in prices is caused purely by supply and demand. There may be manipulation in the stock market but never in the gram markets." Admittedly there is 'manipulation of the stock markets, not only now and then, but frequently, by pools and in siders and principal holders of certain stocks. Mr. Livermore did not at tempt a denial of this truth. Somebody suggested that "a Judge Landis" ought to be appointed for the grain trading markets to supervise or control speculation. Julius H. Barnes, head of the U. S. Grain corporation in war days, endorsed that idea after he had explained what had caused the great price fluctuation in the Chicago wheat market in May, 1921. A shortage of wheat in the Chicago market had been created, Mr. Barnes asserted, as the result of speculative trading. To overcome this shortage, grain was accepted for delivery at different points and even on the railroads. As a result of this change in delivery requirements the shortage was overcome and the price collapsed. Sad Death of a Cow "If the officers of the Soo Line have any milk of human kindness in their souls," says a writer in the Chicago Tribune, "they will pay Anton Peterson, of Hermansville, Mich., $100 which he asks for a cow killed by a train on that road recently. He wrote : " 'Ay was setten on my fence watching my blak kow eat the raleroad gras and your big engine come down and kill my kow and hit my kow between the crossing and the telephone post and he cut the too legs off by the tail and hi3 hed he lay on the oddor side. I holler at the man what was makin' the cars run but he don't stop so I go back to my kow and he yust say boo hoo and he die in my arms.' " Club Workers at Fair. Boy and girl club members took a very active part in the state fair this ytar. The club work and numerous junior events are under the direction of the agricultural department at Purdue, and the showing by the young folks was distinctly creditable to the college. Thirty-six counties had teams of three entered in the livestock judging contest, which has come to be regard ed as one of the big events of fair week. This contest was won by the Madison county boys with a score of 1,711 out of a possible 1,750. Th-3 Blackford county team, which won two years ago, was the second highest and mad the highest score on dairy cattle, thereby winning the right to represent the state in the junior dairy judging contest at the national dairy show at St. Paul, Minn., in October. Th winning team in judging all classes of live stock from Madison county will represent the state in th2 junior judging contest at the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicage in December, the state board of agriculture voting $100 toward expenses of the trip. These boys also won the $50 trophy offered by the Kingan Packing company. The Indiana State Dairy association will help pay. the expenses of the Blackford county boys to the national dairy show. ' Farmers Need More Credit. Senator Capper, in a recent speech made at a Grange fair at Berryton, Kas., emphasized the need of the farm population for an extended line of credit and financing. In the course of his remarks, he said: "W cannot have any different sy tem of orderly marketing until we have a different system of financing. We cannot build up a system of sane

marketing until we have a system o!

credits peculiarly adapted to the peculiar needs of agriculture. Not only the federal reserve system but the entiro banking machinery of the United States has been built up to meet the needs of commerce with a 60 to 90-day turnover. Agriculture is at the mercy of those who control credit and many who exert that control are not particularly in sympathy with agriculture Thousands of farmers and stockmen have been ruined in the last two or three years by this lack of credit The credit plan proposed by th& farm bloc will make more money avail able for financing the slow turnover of the farms, which will give the farmer another opportunity to go ahead with his work with a decent chance to make good. If that is occemplished it will really mean cheaper food for the consumer, more work, reopened factories and mills, and a return of good times." Cockerels at Auction The idea of an auction sale of con signed cockerels appeals to the poul try raisers of Bradford county, Pennsylvania, and the sale is set for October 18. The birds to be offered will be selected by D. M. Gray of the Pennsylvania Agricultural college, from poultry entered in the Bradford coun ty advanced breeding project and will represent the best in the county, ac cording to qualities which go to make good producers, plus type, size, consti tution and health. No farm will be permitted to offer more than 5 per cent of its production. The birds will be exhibited, and then sold to the high est bidders. Two hundred cockerels will be offered. Hood's Farm Jersey Sate Twelve states and Canada partici pated in the distribution of Hood Farm Jerseys at Lowell. Mass., on Sept 18. The prices paid do not compare favor ably with those realized at previous sales from this herd because, says the Breeder's Gazette, too many bulls and too many young ones were offered many of the females were either heifer calves whose future usefulness was distant or old cows, capable of leaving good progeny, but whose worth, from a producing standpoint was but moderate, and buyers were insistent upon more Hood Farm breeding on both sides of. the pedigree. Cows which were in their prime, had made high records and in every way were desirable, sold well. The one outstanding bull realized a good price. In all, 86 head were sold for $20,920, an average of $243. Eight bulls averaged $455, and 78 females $221. COOL WEATHER WILL BOOST PRICE OF HOGS, SHURLEY PREDICTS Hot weather of the past week with increased receipts of spring pigs unsuitable for packer use, has caused a reaction and a decline in prices, says the S hurley stock yards report this week. The drop has been as great as a dollar a hundred and Chicago buyers are hoping for heavy receipts at $9 a hundred before Nov. 1. Jerome Shurley, manager of the local yards, differs from this opinion, saying that with cooler weather, good hogs should at least hold firm in price. Prices paid last wet'k were as follows: Lights, 160 to 225 pounds. $9; light Yorkers and pigs. $8.008.50; sows, $78; stags, $45. The calf market was a dollar lower, with the top at $11. The top for lambs was $10 and the market was steady. Good dry-fed cattle were at the highest price they have reached this season Sellers on last week's market were: Harry Jordan. O. M. Jennings, F. M. Rich, Milo Brown, Fred Demoss, John Keller, Joshua Brown, Morris Blue, Claude Burris, Clarence Raper, Dennis Ryan, Miles Shute, O. Cranor, Lewis Welsh, Clayton Sheffer, Arthur Palmer, J. M.

DEPOSITORS IN CUBAN ' BANKS ENCOURAGED

'HAVANA. Cuba, Oct 9. Brighter prospects for recovering some of their money are seen by depositors of the defunct National bank of Cuba as a result of a compromise reached between the bank liquidation commission and the government After a long drawn out controversy, the administration has decided to turn over to the liquidation commission ap proximately $16,500,000 in collateral seized by the government to secure nearly $20,000,000 it had on deposit in the National bank when it closed its doors. The commission will proceed to classify and grade the claims against the bank, and if the government is not satisfied with the treatment it i accorded, recourse will be taken in an appeal to the supreme court The controversy with J.he government has been the chief stumbling 1 block in the liquidation of the bank, which has been going on, under a hot fir of criticism, for nearly two years. The tying up of the government's cash, has been given by President Zayas aa one of the causes provoking the fi nancial crisis which has faced his administration ever since he took office in May of 1921.
