SELLING NEW CORN.
K4NxAKHE, Ill.,. OCT; 8, 1874:
Mn. "1sunAL "-Sin: What Ito yo! .hiuk about
nclng now corn ,s It luitcr 10 hod It until next
ycar: ST..
Now corn ia selling at 50 to GO conts for is to
50 pounds in tho ont. Whon now corn III sold
ut now-conn prices, It is M imposition to exact
moro In tho car t1slt, wilon sl,e11o, will mako &c
pounds of shel1cI corn, mud this practice Of tho
dealers haa done something to get np y prejudice
nBainst thoua, and very 1uutly. It may talks 75
or 10 pounds Of nov corn 10 nuke So pounds OF
bholled corn next June ; but TINT iy not tho
question, but rather, What IL d b1tslel Of now
torn wortl,,-that IL, &c ponnls to-day OF
Hhcllcd corn mot what itmay Weigh next June
hayo not tried It,, but know that GO. to G7
pounds Of old corn In tic cur wilt mako h,1shcl
Of shollcd corn. md 1t is probable that 10 rounds
In tho car Of new corn wll make 81 pounds Of
! eholod corn; II 80, that is bubhcl Of corn.
| As tho farmer begins to uuderatand tho laws of
trade, ho VIII begin to understand his legal
rights. II tuo dealers pay TO cents for 50pout,is
| Of corn i'll tho cur, tho transaction cannot ho
excepted to; but, II le buys MY load Of corn at
so cents buHhel, lie las no right to demand so
! pounds in the car, b.it lo has Il right to what
will make &c pounds Of shcllcd corn. If t!lo
farmer call get tho prico nf now corn, and
dcliyor only d bushel for q bnshol, hs
may do well to soil it; hut, il hc
gets tho price Of new corn, and mlut give what
will 1nake busI,oi Of old corn, he bud best hold
It until II becomes old corn. This is based on
tho 1doa MS regards the proper tImo to zcnltEo tho
best price, all things coueidcrod, md not tho
nooda Of tho farmer as regards money.
1t Id question If corn can hold up for any
gront lopgth Of timc, When corn is cheap, lilo
consumption Ii cnorinous; but ttIls present high
price 1nuat seriously restrict tho demand, and wo
had bottor bo prepared for falIiug of III this
respect Nelativoly, w]loat md rye are cheaper
| thau corn, and theso, to Home oxtont, mny tako
It's place, especially Tor distiling All Of thcso
things must bo taken into account in settling Tho
| question Of tho proper tinlo for selling. QUO
| thing is certain: If was selling 1lew corn, It
| would be in the form of 6hellcd corn, at 5G
| pounds to the buBheI.
No farmer can afford to do without u CONNER
cnl newspaper, In order to keep him fully posted
III regard to tho markets. II lie hns nothing to
sell Tor rart Of thu ycar, yet ho must not neg
| loat to keen the rim OF things; tho iniluencen
| that 60 to tiuctuato tho market must bo part
Of his study. The laws Of supn'y aud domaud
