Commercial CLUB WASHED this, after.
noon to consider the question Of mar.

der the existing conditions of wide
margins being asked by line elevator
men. the farmers will not sell their
grain locally, and, owing to their in.
ability to secure cars, they cannot
ship their grain themselves. The
grain has been bought on a margin
OF from IL to IA cents. The margin
asked at this time being about 20
cents under terminal prices. In addi.
ton to this the grades that they are

factory, being from one to two grades;
lower than the grades of a month ago.
Some of the elevator companies have
instructed their agents to buy only
limited amount, and are advising
the farmers to hold their grain.
Under these conditions It is i'm.
possible for the local retailer to make
his collections as the farmer insists
that he cannot obtain fair price or
grade on the basis of present terminal
prices and grades.
1.-THE club has arranged to handle
the farmers grain, but must have cars
to secure prompt shipment. Believing
that the wholesalers and jobbers are
in a better position to secure cars
than any one else, we appeal to you
to use your influence with the railway
companies to. secure cars for US. The
time for making collections are going
to be short, owing to the crop being
light, and a portion of the grain be.

I'm order to secure results, prompt
action Is necessary. The weather at
the present is favorable for marketing
grain, and We want to move the crop
while these conditions exist. This is
a matter in which you are equally
interested. and with your prompt CO.
operation We believe good results can
be secured. We want cars placed at
