MARKET NOTES

after farmers get busy in Iowa corn
deliveries will be few and far between,
said a Des Moines Gowa) message to
Geier Of Peoria. prices will cut no
figure, as they will not stop work to
deliver corn. Missouri feeders and Kan
sas City grain men securing Iowa for
corn. Omaha controls everything with
in $50 miles Of Council Bluffs in Iowa Is
Local makers Of patent feeds gener
ally report an excellent demand for
their product, and some claim the call
is the largest of the season. Philadel-
phia claimed the demand for feed was
terrific and surely must have effect on
corn and oats. Bran in transit sold
there at $50 per ton. Kansas City re-
ported that feed people there, who do
business with the east say there has
been an advance Of 50 per ton in the
last ten days. .... i.
A st. Louis cash handler claimed
corn costs western retail buyers 1Oc
more per blu than farmers are getting
for wheat, and that this should be
watched in the price making of wheat
To some Of the local traders it either
meant that wheat was too low or corn
too high.
Wheat bears were surprised by the
late bulge yesterday and said it was
due entirely to overselling on the part
Of local operators and had no real sig
nificance. and that the market was a
better sale now than it had been. They
figure that crop prospects are so bril-
liant that it will take considerable
damage to reduce them materially, and
unless there was a marked change in
cash conditions shortly, or crop
scare developed, wheat could work off
several cents bushel. Bulls called at
tention to the light receipts in all d.
rections, and said that with export
sales in prospect on breaks there was
little in sight on which to sell May for
more than small profit, while with
chances strongly in favor Of damage
to the growing crop wheat should be
bought on every setback.
A strange situation exists in the cash
corn trade throughout the west. ST.
Louis reported No. 3 mixed selling
there at 68@70c, while James A. Pat
ton offered No. 3 mixed from Chicago
at price that figured CSC track St
Louis. and failed to get bid. On the
bidding 1c under Chicago May for corn
at points within fifty miles of Chicago,
Kiln dried corn was reported as
salable at premium over May f. o. b.
vessel, for shipment at opening Of
navigation. A central Iowa man sold
5000 blu corn to a Missouri feeder at
a price that figured equal to 74hc
track Chicago first half of May ship
ment. Omaha wired: I'VE estimate
Nebraska will have to have $4,000 900
bu corn yet Looks like we will have
to go to Chicago to get it, The edge
seemed to be off the cash demand at
Kansas City, although that market re-
ported 100000 bu sold on overnight Of

WANT TRANSCRIPT
IN OTTUMWA CASE

Des Moines, March 20-M. S. Odle.
attorney for the temperance interests,
yesterday filed in the supreme court
an application for writ of certiorari
to mommand Judge Vermilion to GER
tify up the transcript of evidence in
the case brought against Harry M.
and Hayden Leonard.
The temperance faction assert that
the Leonards we're enjoined from sell
ing liquor in Ottumwa but that under
the guise of waiting on tables in a
restaurant they handed out booze. At
tempt was made to have the men de-
clared to be in contempt of court but
Judge Vermilion declared that there
was not sufficient evidence to warrant
such a finding.

Dat traders expressed the belief that
their market had not yet started to ad-
vance. and with such a strong stua-
ton existing in corn it would be only
natural for an urgent cash demand to
develop for oats. and as there was a
good sized short interest out, bulge
would not be surprising. Bears look
ed to see Canadian oats take care Of
i the demand in case it developed, and
claim they fail to see wherein bull
