New York, Oct. 13.-Dun's review of
trade for the week ending tomorrow will
say:
IAN speculative markets experienced
reaction this week and business has tenn
porarily moved under reduced momentum,
owing to the holiday interruption and
certain hesitancy due to international
developments.
Current transactions, however, con-
tinue unprecedented for the period, and,
with the strength OF Fundamental factors
undimlnlshed. the general tendency in
trade and industry is still toward further
expansion.
by rejecting many additional con-
tracts. and under the stimulus of better
working conditions, the steel corporation
has made some headway in relieving the
congestion at its mills. The rise in prices
in this quarter, as in numerous other
lines, continues. The extreme costs
naturally induce more or less conserva-
tism and deter some from buying, but in
many instances the prospect OF further
advances is an incentive to larger pur-
chasing. and consumption generally is
maintained in extraordinary volume This
Is evidenced by the record breaking bank
clearings. which this week are 22.2 per
cent in excess OF last years at leading
centers outside OF New York. Part OF
the gain, Of course. is due to the high
prices, yet the remarkable totals would
not be possible were 1t not for the note
worthy and widespread activity in gen.
eral business.
I'm many cases, however a full meas
ure OF progress is not possible because
producing and transporting facilities,
though increased and extended to the
limit. remain inadequate to meet the
growing requirements.
"Insistent calls for rush shipments OF
materials and products indicate the
urgency OF consumers needs, but, as
some machinery Is idle through labor
scarcity and wage controversies, outputs
are insufficient and the shortage OF roll
ing stock accentuates the diflculty OF
making deliveries"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Speculative Markets Experience Reaction Says
Dun's. Car Shortages More Serious,
Explains Bradstreet's

(By the international News service.)
New York, Oct. lS.-Bradstreet's review
OF trade for the week ending tomorrow
will say:
Trade, as well as industry, continues
extraordinarily active, in which respect
the situation shows little or no variation
from recently preceding weeks.
Buying for next spring, while broad
ening, indicates some conserva tism,
Prices are still high, labor is scarce, the
railways are buying more freely in the
steel market, car shortages are growing
more serious. earnings are heavy. and
pig iron is higher.
There is no let-up to export business,
but shipments have been retarded by
submarine attacks on shipping on the At
lantic coast
collections are good, and interior
merchants, profiting from the advantages
OF high prices for farm products more
than offsetting short yields, are paying
OF old debts. Seemingly comparatively
few past due debts will be carried into
next year.
~shipbuliding is thriving as never be-
fore, and inquiries respecting new YES
sells continue to come forward at note
worthy rate. Manufacturers in general
are not able to stock up to any extent, so
exigent are demands, and with the high
prices prevailing there is a strong tend
ency to convert goods into cash as rapid
ly as possible.
Bank deposits. especially in the larger
industrial centers, eloQVently testify to
the exceptionally heavy wage earnings
Of the working classes, who, be:suse OF
extra ordinary employment, are bearing
high prices with equanimity.
There il. however, a more clearly de-
fined tendency TO ask II prices have not
already gone too high, and for the time
being at least, it is probable that fur
ther buying will move along more con-
servative lines, that is, needs will be COW
cred as and when they developed, the de-
sire being to guard against overstockins
with high-priced goods

1t will mean a gain Of about 100000

Steel now is operating full and the

FEED COWS IN WINTER
by C. H. Eckles, Missouri College of
Agriculture).

The best results with mich cows
demands that the milk flow be kept up
during the winter as we'll as during
the remainder of the year. A herd
that is allowed to drop in this parti-
cular when winter comes on not only
lowers its profit at that time, but is
hard to bring back when winter is
over. Reports received by the dairy
department of the Missouri agricul-
tural experiment station show that
average cows in the best managed
herds of the state often produce two
or three times as much butter during
he year as does the average dairy
co wof the state. This difference re-
suits largely from the fact that these
herds continue high in their milk pro-
duction during the winter.
A good milk flow results largely
from careful feeding, although shelter
and other phases of management are
also important. The man who is get
ting poor results is usually feeding
timothy hay, corn fodder, and corn,
and perhaps not enough even of
those. The man who is getting good
results has learned tina tsuch a ration
as if it can all be grown on the farm.
If the proper ration is not at hand,
however, it will usually pay to buy
something suitable, or possibly trade
some of the feeds on hand for others
which will give better results.
Man Who Gets Results.
The man who gets good results with
cows feeds clover, alfalfa, or cow-pea
hay for the roughness, takes care that
the cows have plenty of it, and, if he
has some corn fodder, feeds some of
this in addition, during the day. If
hay of this class is fed, it is all right
to feed considerable quantity of corn
for grain.
The feeds which are generally fed in
this section may be divided into two
classes. The first includes those lack
ing in protein. They are used main
" to produce fat and do not have pro-
tein neough for milk production. In
this class we have corn, corn fodder,
timothy hay, straw, millet and sorg-
hum. The second class of feeds in
cludes those which contain more pro-
TEN to supply the food necessary to
produce milk In this class We have
clover, cowpea and alfalfa hay, bran,
oats, cottonseed and linseed meal. A
good daily ration will include feeds
from both of these classes and it is
impossible to make a suitable ration
by feeding those in the first class only.
A good ration for COW producing
from "a to % pounds of milk per day,
would be all she would eat of clover
or cowpea hay and 70 rgrain from five
to six pounds corn, and from three to
five pounds bran or oats. Another
fairly good ration for an ordinary cow
is all she will eat of alfalfa or cow
pea hay and eight to twelve pounds of
corn. Still another would be clover
hay, as before, corn six to nine pounds
and cottonseed meal, two pounds per
day. These rations will be improved
IN every case by feeding corn silage.
