PATTEN TALKS OF WHEAT.
Tells Flour Men Price Will Be High
Next Year.

Chicago, May 21.-James A. Patten
who hasn't been speaking at public
dinners of late, motored down to the
Great Northern Hotel, where the Flour
Mems Club of Chicago was holding its
monthly meeting. The flour men
thought that Mr. Patten might be able
to tell them q few things about wheat,
and MIR. Patten agreed TO do so, pro-
vided that newspaper men would oc-
cupy the divans in the balcony outside
With mahogany veneered door be-
tween them and the sound of his voice.
Wher he felt sure that conditions
We're exactly right. Mr. Patten took the
1ioor, and to frequent outbursts of APP
plause. which We're audible in the cor
rldor outside, told the -four men that
the high price of wheat is due solely
to natural conditions. The weather
hadn't been right for the growing of
wheat, he said and the farmers, dis
couraged by low prices, had sown
other sorts of grain, ard Europe, In
dia and South America were all in a
bad way, so far as the wheat supply
is concerned
There is no relief in sight for the
public. Mr. Patten, after telling about
the poor outlook in Kansas, the wheat
growing states of the northwest Texas
and Canada, predicted that still higher
prices will prevail, and that next year
will see the quotations on winter
wheat just where they are today
In fact, Mr. Patterns talk was as
strongly on the bull side of the market
as his operations have been up to now.
He explained his faith by saying that
he had been going about the country a
bit with his ear close to the ground,
and discovered that the American far
mers have not been raising enough
wheat to keep up with the demand, and
the expanding population. Let them
look to this production in the future,
he warned, if they want to keep the
price of breadstuffs within the COM
Portable limit.
When the thirty odd guests who had
occupied places at the dinner began to
slip into their overcoats in the CORR
dor, Mr. Patten led the reporters into a
small room, and said he would give
them all the important parts of his
talk
Il told them some of the reasons why
wheat is bound to sell at a still sitter
price said he. James j. HILL YOU may
remember. said that prices would adj
vance, l believe he was right"

PLANT NEEDS MORE ROOM.
spauldine Manufacturers, Grinnell
Said to be Contenolati Chances.

~ ~ SS''SS''' S'dHSsSs
Special to Times Republican
Grinnell, May 22-While no detailed
plans have been given to the public, il
is reliably stated that extensive
changes are contemplated in the near
future for the Spaulding manufacturing
plant of this city. The growing bus
mess of the firm necassitates an in
crease in room and additional buildings,
and the general rlan is to make all
new buildings and any reconstruction
of the OLD ones. OF the best modern
fireproof materials and construction.
The Spaulding brothers have been in
the east for some time Investigating
this question, and the judgment is in
favor of steel frameworks with con-
crete walls. Last year there was strong
talk by the firm of putting in the best
sprinkling system to be had, but actic n
on that point was deferred. probably
with the view Of making the changes
this season that are now under con-
temptation. 1t is rumored that the
building of automobiles may be added
to the present business of making We
hlcles to be drawn by animals.

stockers and Feeders.

Volume of business was again very
light this week because there were
relatively few steers of the stoc&er
class among the arrivals. This is the
busiest time of the year on the farm
and not many outsiders We're here
looking for cattle of this class, so it
was fortunate that the offerings We're
comparatively small. Good steers Were
wanted and a few sold at pretty high
prices, but the trouble was that killers
offered such strong competition that
country buyers We're not able to get
WHAT they wanted. Prices did not
show much change during the week.
The tendency was a little downward
for the light stocker class which made
up the bulk of the offerings. Good
stockers sold up to $500, and the best
feeders reached $3.50 early in the
week. Later the demand was not SO
brisk and even the light supply failed
to stimulate activity. Country buyers
are not much worried about getting
the cattle, and most of them are will
ing to wait till grass is better so they
can save the price of feed. With a
prospect of a good cattle market later
on those who can are inclined to
want to hold their good young steers
for future reference. With the gen.
eral cattle supply small they feel that
they can not lose where they have
plenty of grass which will enable them
to carry the cattle at minimum cost.

stockyard Notes.

SSOCNydTQ NOtSSs
Heavy selected feeding steers sold
up to s5.75 this week, but there were
few country orders for cattle to cost
above 1925.
Numerous lots of steers went over
unsold yesterday. a good share of them
being hold-overs from the Wednesday
market in second hands.
This weeks COW market has been
fairly satisfactory from the standpoint
of the seller and the country shipper.
Prices were 50 high that buyers made
an effort to bear down on some grades
but receipts We're not sufficiently large
to give them any material advantage.
Some of the plain heavy cows and the
light medium sold a little weaker late
in the week, but the bulk of the offer
ings for the week compared with the
average of last week showed but little
change. Good to choice heifers sold
freely and readily all week and there
We're hardly enough here to fill the
demand in that department. The hest
heifers sold at ss.50@6.75. and most Of
the fat cows sold at s4.75@575.
Gamers and cutters sold steady to

ISHl ana business was TdCneT SLOW
all week. Most of the Gamers sold at
s2.40@2.75, and the bulk of the cutters
sold at s3.25@3.75.
Bull prices closed the week little
stronger than at the low sag last
week. Prices now are 10@15 cents
higher than at the low spot a week
ago, but are sti!l about 10 cents high
er than two weeks ago. Most of the
bolognas sold at $4@450, and the bulk
of the butcher bulls went at s4.75@
$50.
A shipper bought prime heavy hogs
yesterday at s7.55, within cents of
years highest price and cents higher
than any previous day this week
Not many wooded sheep offerings
expected next week
Shipments Thursday 2,274, largest
days shipments this month.
Supplies show some increase, the re-
ceipts for five days reaching LII
horses, against 1911 for the same per-
iod a week ago and 1886 for the like
dates last year.

A Decisive Step.

His chum came in and found him slipping lock of hair into an en- velope, not furtively or surreptitiously, but just placing it under cover in a calm, businesslike way.
 "Hellor' says the visitor. Whats up:'
 Nothing" he answered. I'm only sending back Miss Hamilton Highlow's s lock of hair; that's all.'
 Engagement off again?''
 Yes"
 How many times does this maker
 Five. It's final this time, though, one way or the other
 Does she say so?"
 "Oh, she always says it's final. I'm deciding things just now. It's off for ever or cards out soon.'
 How do you do it?"
 Little scheme of my own. Iou know the color of her hair, don't you warm brown. with little raw umber in it? Well, this sample of hair I'm doing up is red-good, regular. stand ard red. tell you we're going to*get down to genuine emotion this time. She'll know whether she loves me or not, and il she does she'll walk me in by the ear.'-London Mail.
