Dull DAY in GRAIN PITS
WHEAT RULES WEAK, OWING TO
FAVORABLE WEATHER.
Corn Improved at Opening, but Prices
Soon Turned Weak-Oats Are
Also Down.

CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-Dullness pervaded
the grain pits to-day and owing to con-
tinued favorable weather wheat ruled
weak, September closing 9sq%c lower; Sep
TENDER corn off Ac, oats were down
%Q11c, but provisions were unchanged to
&c higher.
Trading in wheat was Of a very tame
character and prices were considerably un-
settled. The opening was easier under the
influence of excellent weather in the north
west, September being 1sc lower at s0ssc.
There was fair demand the first hour on
fears of rain in the spring wheat belt and
the market turned quite firm, September
advancing to SOAc. but the general trend
of crop news was of a bearish nature and
free liquidation soon caused a decline.
Liberal receipts of new wheat at Minneapo-
lis were depressing influences the latter
part of the session. The close was near the
bottom price of the day. September being
ss9%c lower at 79%Q79%c after falling
down to 79%c. December closed at Sic.
loss Of &c. Clearances Of wheat and flour
were equal to 253.9O0 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 61s.9OO bushels against S24.sOO
bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 225 cars, which,
with local receipts of SO cars-sixteen of
contract grade-made total receipts for
the three points of 314 cars against 1876 cars
last week and 4S6 cars year ago.
Corn showed slight Improvement on
the early trading, but trade was dull with
the bull leaders making no special efforts
to support the market and consequently
prices soon turned weak. There was an alb
sence of outside business and nothing con-
spicuous in the local trade. The weather
in the corn belt was all that could be de-
sired for the crop and movement. After
selling between 5l%c and SIC September
closed at 51ssc, a loss of Nc. December was
off asq11c, closed at 51asc. Local receipts
were 27S cars, thirty of contract grade.
Oats were chiefly affected by the liberal
selling on the part of a prominent interest.
bushels of December and May were sold
out by the bull leaders and with a rather
limited demand the market developed con-
siderable weakness. The weather continued
favorable for threshing and the movement
September closed 3sQhc lower at 3412G34ssc,
after ranging between 3413Q34ssc and 35c
December was off 1ac, closing at 3614c.
Local receipts were 222 cars.
Provisions ruled firm early in the day on
a smaller run of hogs and better prices at
the yards, with a good demand from longs
for October lard and ribs, together with
covering by shorts. A firm undertone pre-
vailed throughout the entire session, al
though profit taking resulted in loss of
most of the early gain. September pork
closed unchanged at s12.s712. September
lard was up &c at $S.25 and ribs were also
sc higher at $LTh.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, $40; oats. 2So; hogs,
1000 head.

Representative Sales. =

Sheep-Receipts. 100; shipments none There
has been larger marketing OF sheep and lambs
this week, the total showing a gain of 900 over
last week, 400 over the same week a year ago
and 500 over the corresponding week two years
ago. The receipts thus far this year are l. 400
larger than the same time last year and for the
month thus far there Is a gain of over $500 COM
pared with the same period year ago.
There has been very good outlet for sheep and
lambs all of this week. but the receipts were
large enough to accommodate all buyers and
there has been some change in prices. the de-
cline, however. was principally on lambs. and
averages prices at the close of the week were
probably not to exceed Csc lower than the
treme prices prevailing at the beginning of the
week. The sheep market was weaker in SYM
pathy with other grades. but they did not show
as much change as lambs. Shippers were the
leading buyers all week, but there at least
normal demand from local butchers. The quail
ity has been generally satisfactory and this. of
course, was some help to statesmen. At the high
time in the week extra lambs sold at s.. rs, but
later the top price was $3.50 and a good kind
sold around S45.25. Yearling sheep sold as
high as 81. but there were not many good enough
TO bring over $3.50; old sheep sold high as
$3.50. but most of the time 1926 was considered
a top and a decent kind sold around SO.
The supply to-day, usual at the close of
the week, was small and there was no occasion
for any important change in the market The
demand. as usual on Saturday. not urgent.
but the supply was finally all sold on basis of
Yesterdays prices. Quotations..

currency reform question among men who
are interested in financial matters.
xxx
1.-The money situation. as 1t presents it
self at the present time, depends almost
entirely upon what will be the requirement
upon the Western banks during the crop
moving period" says Bonds and Mortgages,
a Chicago financial and commercial journal
This, in turn, depends, first. upon the size
of the crops, and second. on the interior
banks to supply the needs of the various
localities. Last year. ii will be remem-
bered, the Western banks drew on their re-
serves in Chicago and New York and called
in their direct loans in Wall street when
the crop-moving period set in. The banks
are better prepared this year to take care
of the situation"
President Forgan, of the First National
Bank of Chicago, who had a conspicuous
part in the defeat Of the Aldrich bill in the
last Congress. has written the following let
ter to an official of the American National
Bank, of this city:
Il am opposed to the use of other than
government bonds as security for govern
ment deposits because. first, if banks are
permitted by law TO pledge other than gov
eminent bonds for government securities, the
next step will be to have other than gov
eminent bonds security for circulation.
l am opposed to this proposed change in
the currency system, secondly, because ii is
quite evident that the advocates of the
plan proposed in the Aldrich bill base their
calculations the ability of banks TO bor-
row bonds instead of owning them. In the
third place l am opposed to this plan be-
cause all the national banks in the country
have not the same facilities for borrowing
bonds. even If it were legitimate for them
to do So.
lone Indianapolis banker at least is in
accord with Mr.. Forgan in his attitude to-
ward the Aldrich BILL said William Allen
Wood. who is making a close study of the
financial and currency reform questions.
THAT banker it Mr.. Malott But Mr.. Ma
lott differs with Mr.. Forgan on the asset
currency proposition, being opposed to it..
The principal ground of his opposition is
that in case of a failing bank, where the
bank pays certain patrons with credit asset
currency, those patrons are preferred over
other depOsitors, since the asset currency
is a first lien on the assets of the bank.
What we want is a bank currency, Sc
needs of the business community and
respond to its demands at all times, both in
commercial Gains and commercial crises.
The situation is such that bankers could
well afford to take time from their private
business to thoroughly discuss the subject
and arrive at something like uniform opin-
ion on the special kind of legislation best
adapted to the end in view. If this is done
promptly perhaps the next general panic
averted altogether. Congressman Fowler is
right when he says: This is the most
serious question our country is facing
to-day"
