WHEAT TRADERS
AWAIT DECISION
ON 1917 PRICES
Cash Corn Strength Contri-
butes Firmness-Oat
Trade N~on-Impressive.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Mixed sentiment
among traders was apparent today
n resulted in an unsettled corn
market, though fluctuations were
within comparatively narrow aNmits.
Houses with eastern connections were
prominent onAthe selling side and
word came from the seaboard OF Of
ferings OF Argentine cargoes at lower,
prices. Selling on the high points
met good absorbing powers and the
finish was}well toward top prices for
to 5-8c higher. Oats gained Ia to
's-4c. Cash wheat closed firm. Pro-
visions made gains OF from 20 to 75c.
Strength of cash cor contributed
if1rmness to tho futures and buyers of
orn were further Influenced by the
weekly government weather and%crop
report, which was moderately bullish,
containing the statement that large
areas would need favorable weather
to mature the crop before damage is
liable from FROST
Wheat traders eagerly awaited word
OF h government fixing wheat prtc-
,es. The cash market was firm, but
the volume ofstradtng- was not large.
wheat by the government would have
an important bearing on the settle
ment figures of outstanding contracts
on the September option.
Oats trade was not impressive In
quantity, but the market held gener-
ally firm. Light country offerings
were a determining factor for firm
ness. Cash values held steady.
Hog strength had a good, demand
and was controlling element which
caused provision prices to advance.

STOCK MARKET
UNAFFECTED By
WILSON, REPLY
Selling Continued on En- II
larged Scale Bonds
Were Irregular.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Rejection by
washington Of the Vatican peace plan
evidently exerted no especial influence
over today's stock markets Selling
was renewed at outset and con-
tinued during the forenoonto on an en-
larged scale. Offerings originated
mainly from the bears, who succeeded
in picking out additional weak spots,
but signs of liquidation were unmls-
taxable at that period.
No section of the list escaped the
attention Of the. short interests al
though rails and a few other high
grade investment shares yielded only
slightly. The one to three point, rallies
of the afternoon resulted in very
substantial REIMBURSEMENT of losses and
not a few actual gains.
At their lowest levels war ISSUES
were two to five points down, But
standard industrials offered resistance
to pressure. United States steel re-
|peated its recent minimum quotation
of 118 i1-2, but closed with q net gain
of 1-2 a point.
Other steels and af1liatedI equip
ments together with minor metals and
specialties proved more vulnerable.

CANADA WILL
RAISE LARGE
DRAFT ARMY
CONSUMPTION Bill Becomes
Law in Canada-to
Raise 100000 Men.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 3O.-Conscrip-
ton became law in Canada yesterday,
when Justice Duff OF the supreme
court, acting for the governor gen.
eral, gave royal assent to the measure.
The bill is for the purpose of rails
ing 100000 men to reinforce the
Canadian divisions fighting at the
front. All Canadians between 20 and
As years may be called. They will be
divided into classes according to age,
whether married or single. r
It Is expected that in the near flu
ture the first class, consisting of all
unmarried Canadians between 20 and
81 years will be called, and that this
class will provide the required 100, 900.
After assent had been given, Pre-
mior Borden, speaking in the house
of commons, asked Sir Wilfrid Laurier
to cooperate with him in naming a
board of selection to choose local
tribunals who are to deal with appli-
cations for the exemption from mill
tary service.
Sir Wilfrid replied in terms that
are regarded al significant in view of
his opposition to CONSUMPTION and
that Of the French Canadians In
Quebec. He said he would agree to
the request of the prime minister, ad-
ding: "As the bill is now law it is
the duty Of all loyal subjects to see
it carried out harmoniously."

l,5OO GRAIN
INSPECTORS
ARE LICENSED
Applications Received by
State Office Number ov-
er Hundred a Day.

Bismarck. N. d., Aug. 30.-More
than 1900 licenses have been issued
10 deputy inspectors under North Da-
kota's new grain grading act, Chief
Assistant Inspector ]. A.. McGovern
announced today. Since the supreme
court handed down Its decision up
holding the constituttonaity OF the
law and clearing up a number OF moot
questions, applications for licenses
from elevator men have averaged 100
to $50 the day. While there are ap-
proximately $500 elevators in North
Dakota, Mr.. McGovern does not an
ticipate that an equal number of lic-
enses will be issued, as many OF these
elevators are under q general man
ngement or ownership, and where two
Of such elevators are located in one
town, as often Is the case, one deputy
can serve both.
From 25 to 80 samples, put up in
five-pound sacks, are coming in daily
from the 1917 wheat crop to be grad
ed. The wheat, states Mr.. McGovern,
is grading very high, the only draw
back being the presence Of such in
separable seed as wild pea, or vetch,
and kinghead. Vetch to h extent Of
a fourth of one per cent lowers the
wheat grade from No. 1 hard to No. /
northern. One-half of one per cent of
vetch reduces the grade to, No. 2. Two
per sent Of either seed lowers the
grade to No. a.
This seed can easily be removed
by the miller, and really is not greatly
detrimental to the wheat, except that
it involves some additional expense in
cleaning. The cleaning system is
simple, q spiral arrangement being
used which thoroughly separates the
weed seed from the wheat. The
method is somewhat slower than the
tanning mill plan, but I anticiate that
in time most of our elevators will be
equipped to clean this 'inseparable'
seed from the wheat. The vetch is
very valuable Is stock food, being of
greater worth than the shorts with
which it is mixed. Kinghead is use
q very small percentage doe not color
flour nor give IL. any foreign flavor.
Because the present federal grades
for wheat, which have been adopted
in this state under the grading act,
draw the line so very fine, I am ad-
vising that North Dakota grain grow
ers sell their wheat by sample instead
Of grade. Once graded, this wheat
must sell by grade, ven though but
for the presence of small amounts OF
this inseparable weed iced it would
sell for No. 1 hard. The farmer who
sells by sample will get a better price
for his wheat will be bought on its
merits. The miller would buy on the
aour-making qualities of the wheat
whereas now he buys by grade and
naturally does not are to pay a
higher price than the grade calls for
I'VE r now making flour at Fargo
from 1917 wheat, and It Is proving OF
an exceptionally high quality"

ANOTHER MAN MAKES
ESCAPE FROM r
DAKOTA P~ENITENTIARY

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 30.-Police

Frank Laskowski, alias Frank Long
and Frank Lang, from the state peni-
Tertiary at Bismarck Tuesday, making

ton within a week, Jesse Stark
weather. who broke custody last
Thursday, being still at large.

ton given police and special officers
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, was received at the state peni-
tertiary from Hettinger, N. D., on
August Z, 1916, and was sentenced to
serve a term Of natural life for the
crime of murder in the first degree.
He is said to be 23 years old.

OFFICERS WOULD
CHANGE
STORAGE LIMIT
Representatives Urged to
Withdraw Thirty Day
Regulation.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 30.-Omcials
OF North Dakota r of the belief that
the 80 day limit on storage tickets at
elevators will tend to cripple trans
p%ortation facilities, longest terminals
and take away projections which the
law intended to give the farmers.
They therefore urged the representa-
tives at Washington to ask for the
repeal Of the regulation.
The following telegram signed by
Governor Frazier, Chairman Aandahl
and Commissioners Block and John
son Of the state railway commission,
Commissioner Hagan, Attorney Cen
eral LANCER and Secretary Of State
Thomas Hall. was addressed last night
to Representatives Norton, Baer and
Young, and Senators McCumber and
Gronna, and State Food Commissioner
Ladd at Washington:
Food administration license regu-
lation requires elevators to give
storage facilities to no one except the
administration for more than thirty
days. Storage tickets governing tran
sactions permit warehousernan to ship
grain covered by such tickets attend
of thirty day period to the terminal
market for the best price obtainable.
If wheat is forced to terminals in
large quantities there Is grave danger
of depressing prices assuming that the
government price is a maximum as
law seems to provide.
Relieve the thirty day storage
limitation will tend to cripple trans
p%ortation facilities, congest terminals
and will take away from producers all
the protection which provisions in the
law intended to give through exemp-
ton in sections 5, 8 and 26. Do every
thing possible to have this regulation
rescinded.
Administration offers special agree
ment to elevators for holding grain
subject to order of the department
and in consideration the administra-
ton guarantees against decline in
price. (.
why not make this arrangement
with producer and not with ware
houseman who takes title to grain by
force Of thirty day storage rule"

AGITATORS JAILED
in NEW YORK FOR
ANTI-WAR TALKS

New York, Aug. So.-In the cam-
paign in this city to suppress street
speeches of a reasonable or incen
diary character, a woman speaker,
Bertha Fraser, was today SEN
in a magistrates court to pay
a fine of fifty dollars OF go to Jail for
80 days for disorderly conduct. She
was held guilty of making disrespect-
full reference to the uniform Of a
United States marine, the judge de-
claring in sentencing her:
IF this kind Of speech-making is
continued the authorities must stop it
and with an iron hand" {
The only reason he did not impose
a straight Jail sentence, he said, was
because the defendant was a woman.
Adolph Deutsch, a soap box ora
tor" was sentenced to three months
In the workhouse for disorderly con-
duct in having attacked President
Wilson in a street speech against con-
scription.

Cooper said that the state experiment
station Is urging farmers who are in q
position to do SO totplant rye for for
age purposes this fall, as 1t, can be
used for forage without inturing the
returns next spring.
On the basis OF the present govern
ment estimates, MI. Cooper said,
North Dakota has produced a total of
9,319. 900 bushels of rye this year.
This is twice as great as the produc-
ton in 1916, he said. The rye acreage
in North Dakota has increased con
atantly in the last three years and the
fact that the returns from rye are
nearly as great as are the returns
from wheat is a favorable answer to
the governments call for an increase
in North Dakota's rye acreage, Mr..
Cooper said.
