Market Gossip.

Chicago, May 24.-St. Louis Modern
Miller message contained nothing new
Said weather very favorable and Win
ter crop advancing rapidly toward ma
turity. Also comedies that crop is
heading short in many sections.
Bradstreet's gave exports wheat and
-four both coasts for the week at the
large total of 5,1s4.006 bushels, against
4,796,000 the same week last year. Corn
exports were but 10000 bushels, where
they were 2.20500 last year.
Some cattle were here recently from
Texas which had been sold in st. Louis
at s575. On arrival at Chicago, where
they were bought by the packer who
got them in St. Louis, they averaged
lao lbs. While Chicago has recently
sold 1.255-lb cattle from Texas at $685.
there have been no strictly choice cat
tie from Texas offered for sale on this
market Fine bred 1,400-lb Texas cat
tie are quotable at ST00@7.15 on the
Chicago market.

The horae Market.

Chicago, May 2i.-The offerings OF
choice coachors and drivers developed
very little strength and on the whole,
conditions were not altogether satisfae-
tory to the consigners of finished stock
IN the afternoon auction it was quite
evident that orders were insufficient to
take all the offerings at high prices
Today the market opened unchanged
from Thursdays close. There was but
little fresh stuff, however, and buyers
took the advantage to discount the
warmed over offerings. In the heavy
weight class anything finished is selling
steady, but supplies of drafters are linz
tied.
Heavy drafters are quoted at sits
and $3.50 for choice offerings, and $50
and $3.50 for common to medium. Har-
ness horses are quotably steady at SITS
end $500 and up, for good to fancy, and
SIS and $3.50 fer plain to medium
grades Flxpressers are unchanged. with
good grades in request at $l40 and $3.50
and up to $l75 for select offerings. Bos-
ton chunks are steady at unchanged
prices. Trade in warriors has been
very light this week.

strong at the bat. There will be large
numbers of rooters from both schools.
So keen is the rivalry that Marshall
town has been selected as neutral
ground for the contest.
Fish Commissioner George 3. Lin
coin will issue soon SEEMING permits for
certain portions of the state, in which
individuals or clubs VII be granted per-
mission to sen the rivers and other wa
tiers of the state for Objectionable fish,
such as carp, buffalo, CHARS, suckers
and red horse. 1t is hoped in this man
ner to rid the waters of Iowa in time of
these Objectionable species of fish,
which kill the spawn of the game fish.
1t has reached point where it is prac-
tically a waste of money to stock
streams, because of the over abundance
of the poorer varieties, which destroy
the young game fish before they are
able to care for themselves, and often
times before they attain even the SEM
mits will be issued under certain con-
ditions, and those doing the work will
be accompanied by deputy game war
den, VINO VIII see thal All game nSn, II
any are taken, are returned unframed.
When ponds or bayous are seined any
game fish caught will be removed to
living waters Some people in the state
will make business of SEEMING this
season, as there is market for buffalo
and suckers, also turtles. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will bring forth
GOOD results in few seasons.

Steel Market.

Chicago, May 24.-Western carriage
and wagon manufacturers are now
quite actively buying their metal ma
terial for the year beginning next July
and within week or two 1t is expected
that business will be pretty thoroughly
covered 1t is said they are ordering
material on a more extensive scale than
a year ago. Spring steel this week has
advanced IS per ton, perhaps as re-
suit of this activity. Finished steel tire
is in very active demand. The same
remark respecting more extensive buy
ing may be made in reference to the
implement makers, who bought about
two months ago. Their contracts are
said to have been from Is to 20 per
cent higher than year ago.

at the reduced prices, but as soon as
the bearsh news had been digested the
crowd once more turned listless and re-
fused to do active business even at the
decline. July wheat opened A@Ss to
s@5s lower at rs to 72& and did not get
outside these figures. Gables were weak
Reports gave a strongly bearish fore
cast to the harvest and suggested the
winter crop would exceed 400,000,000
bushels. The weather almost every
where was all that was to be desired.
The government bureaus revision of
the crop estimate last year to accord
with the census figures indicated an in
crease of 100000 acres and harvest
of 74S,0oo,0o0 bushels. an increase of
70.000,000 over the earlier reports.
On lower prices for wheat there
arose good cash demand. The sea-
board reported fifty loads taken for ex-
port, three loads sold here, and then
came the report of $4,000 bushels OF
seaboard clearances in wheat and flour,

July corn opened weak, Is to IS "a

with the wheat break and on increased
receipts here. County offerings were
small. The government figures on last
years corn are about equal to the COM
mercial estimate. 1.522.0Co,o00 bushels.
There was some fair support in corn
after the first hour, the stuff was held
tight and July rallied to strong close.

Trade in oats was dull and feature
less and lower prices prevailed early on
the weakness in other grains, but some

Provisions opened weaker on local
selling induced by the weaker hog
market and the break in grains. Some
support from packers was evident and

Raising Oats In Central Illinois

Raising Oats In CentrA Illinois,
From Farm ars' Review: Here in
central Illinois we cannot count with
certainty on good crop of oats every
year. Proper climatic conditions we
do not always have. While we never
have complete failure of the crop in
the early part of the season it is often
too wet and the grain cannot be sown
In time, or, il it is sown in time, 1t
makes in those seasons too rank a
growth, especially on fiat lands. and
falls or lodges before the heads are
produced. or becomes infected with
rust Then May and June are some
times very dry and very hot months
and unfavorable to the proper filling of
the heads which are then forming; or.
worse yet, there may be lack of mois-
ture all through the growing season.
as was the case the past season when
very many fields of oats did not yield
more than Is or 20 bushels to the acre.
Last season my oats yielded 60 bush
els per acre and the reason why have
generally succeeded in raising good
crops is that 1 try to be ready to cir
cumvent old Mother Nature when she
is in her bad moods. To begin with.
| do not try to farm all creation. l
am satisfied to crop less acres and do
my work better. 1 do not plan to SOW
so many acres that 1 must begin to
plow before the soil is in fit condition
to be turned. If possible. wait till it
will crumble under the plow. l real
ize full well that it is very bad policy
either to plow or harrow land that is
too wet, for wherever the work horse
plants his feet the soil becomes so
hard that the tiny root fbers can
hardly penetrate it and in time of
1routh soon parts with its moisture.
Then where the natural drainage is
aot satisfactory, l have put in tile
drains and the season must be very
wet indeed when oats will not grow on
well-drained land; and if the rainfall
be lacking. my ground. which has been
thoroughly broken with small plows
if cloddy, or rough narrowed before
sowing. then narrowed two or three
times after sowing, and rolled right
away if dry enough, will retain nearly
all the moisture it had to begin with
and the seed in its fine, mellow. moist
bed will do fairly we'll despite the
most unfavorable after conditions.
do not raise corn on my land till
its fertility is exhausted. and then sow
to oats. expecting to raise a crop. My
land must always be lively and rea-
sonably fertile. | never allow it to
become poor. The seed SOW broad
cast. using a seeder attached to the
rear end of a wagon and always do the
driving myself. If the wind is blow
ing l am careful that 1 do not get the
seed too thick in some places and leave
streaks in others. l put on from three
to three and a half bushels by weight
of good, clean seed to the acre. and
want it SO evenly distributed that
cannot put my foot on the ground
without touching an oat. that is. before
they are covered. B. Frisbie, Jr..
