| Livestock Associations.

amaIgamate the National Livestock asso-
ciation and the American Stockgrowers'
association on basis that would also
dispose OF the much mooted question Of
representation Of the packing, railroad
and commission house interests, was
taken up at the joint conference of the
executive committees OF the two oreani-
Nations at the Brown Palace hotel yes
friday. A plan outlined by a subcom-
mittee was voted down after a some
what extended discussion and the sub
committee instructed TO make another
effort to formulate a plan that would
be acceptable to all interests. The
subcommittee will report again today.
The report, which was defeated yes
terdsy, recommended that the National
Livestock association be changed TO Ma
tional Livestock committee, consisting
OF representatives OF the producers OF
livestock. This committee would In
turn appoint committees Oh railroads,
packing houses, commission houses,
etc, which would give those interests
representation and right TO be heard
whenever they felt the need OF express
sion. The report recommended that
the American stockgrowers become
known as the American Cattlegrowers'
association, with membership con-
sisting OF cattle, horses and swine
growers. The sheep men, the report
suggested, should affiliate with the
American Woolgrowers' association.

oRAnARIEs ARE BARE.
Foreign Agents Are Eagerly Picking
Up Cereals Where They Can.

Chicago, Oct. "a. - The American
grain trade is just beginning to realize
that Europe is practically barren OF all
coarse grain supplies and IL willing to
pay Whatever price il necessary to sup
| ply the want. unprecedented sales Of
now corn, which this year ID OF excep-
tionally good quality and almost equal
to old corn for all purposes, is one Of
the signs on the commercial barometer.
Sales within two days Of more than
2, O00, 900 bushels OF barley malt, at
thu point alone, to say nothing Of sales
st other centers, is another significant
pointer. Agents Of foreign houses are

shown by the fact that Odessa, hereto
fore the foremost wheat center OF Rus
s's, is practically an empty port this
year.
The public has wondered why the
wheat market has been quiescent while
the export demand for every other grain
has been booming by leaps and bounds.
The explanation is easy. Canadian ex-
porters have been reaching into the
millions Of wheat In Manitoba and
sending just enough to European mar
kets TO keep the price down until they
can get possession Of the entire North
west crop At their price.
Farmers Of the Northwest, In unde-
voleped country, have no storage iacii-
tiles, and must send their wheat to
market. II is going into elevators at
Montreal and other points East and on |
the Pacific coast, and when II is all |
cleaned up prices will undoubtedly |
