AS usual shippers opened the mar

OF their purchases landed at 500 and

refused to give even steady prices.

CHICAGO. Jan. T7-Surprise over the
smallness OF an increase in the United
states visible supply total had a good
deal to do today with giving the bulls
tlnal control of the wheat market, and
so. too did prospects of the removal OF
the railroad embargo on shipments to
Baltimore, Prices closed strong lie to 1xc

scored gains-corn, NC, oats ItGDlc to ia

notable enlargement of the visible sup
ply and many were compelled to make
a quick change of position when late. in
an increase of only 70, 900 bushels, whereas
the Increase last week was 2,0l4,0O0 BUSH
els. A falling off OF 606.OOO bushels i'm the
formed one OF the items which had not
been generally foreseen. A material
handicap to the bears was the renewal
fields i'm the crop belt.
Heavy selling by leading firms was
chiefly responsible for depression that
tinued in less evidence until midday. The
selling which nullified for the time being
the influence of higher prices at Liver
pool. was based largely on reports Of in
creasng stocks at Minneapolis and Du-
luth.
Corn. although at first depressed by
prospects of larger receipts and by re
ports of beneficial rains in Argentina, was
afterward given a decided upturn. The
late strength came chiefly from talk of
reduced stocks in the east and of chances
OF improved export demand
Oats trade broadened out from the
start. The seaboard and commission
houses were heavy buyers encouraged
because OF better railroad and shipping
conditions at Baltimore and owing to the
wide discount for oats as against corn.
Higher prices on hogs helped 20 lift
provisions. Liberal exports tended also
to bring about an advance.

MIR FARMER,
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE?
70 BELOW ZERO WEATHER,
DISCOMFORT FROM COLD.
LOSSES FROM FROZEN STOCK,
FARM OPERATIONS SUSPENDED,
WEATHER LIKE OUR SPRING,
MAKING MONEY EVERY DAY
PLANTING PROFITABLE CROPS
OR HARVESTING OTHERS?
In Florida there is rarely a day that
the farmer cannot turn his time to good
advantage
Below we quote letter from
former Nebraskan. Read how he Is
MAKING MONEY IN FLORIDA:
Il have just finished planting six
acres of Irish potatoes for my extra
early crop. My hogs took first pre-
MUM at the county fair. and my neigh
Dor got first premium on peavine hay"
harvested in March, and bring prices
unknown to northern farmers, as will
also the larger paintings a month later.
The potato crop will be followed by
frequently followed by a third crop.
There is something green all the time,
and the delightful all-year-round eli
mate makes farming most interesting
as well as profitable. No one crop
country can compare with II. Ours are
real farm, stock and truck lands We
have cleared up our timber operations
and are offering our lands in fair-sized
tracts in order TO close the affairs
of the company, and when II comes
to naming prices we have no competi-
ton.
Inquiries will be promptly answered.
