CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. Sept. 5.-Cold weather stimulated material advance today in the value of corn. Prices closed firm 1B to 2c net higher at s1.12% to s1.13 December and s1.0SH May. Wheat was entirely ignored by the majority of dealers and was held stable through the agencies of the federal food ad- minlstrator. Oats gained 3s to X net The outcome in provisions was a set back of "A 10 to 23h cents.
 Notwithstanding that the corn mar ket encountered heavy selling on the upturn, commission houses absorbed the offerings freely and reactions were all followed by prompt rallies.
 A large share ol the purchasing seemed to be of a ninyestment char acter.
 Oats developed some independent flrmness aside from the strength due to the corn bulge. Receipts of oats re- mained moderate and even the advance failed to inspire libe lai offerings from first hands.
 Mlllers bought fair quantities of wheat at government prices It was 'aid demand for flour showed a ma terial increase now that the value of wheat had been fixed.
 Provisions weakened as a result of a sharp drop in hog quotations. A fur

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Wall Street Stocks recovered in large part today rom their severe reversal of the pre- ceding session, but the rally met with considerable opposition and was not accomplished without temporary inn pairment to important issues. Penn syivania, for example. dropped to 495s, its lowest quotation in over a score of years, before rallying to 51as
 Other rails were heavy or irregular most of the time but Onion Pacific and other seasoned transportations held the greater part of their one to two point advances. Additional rail- road reports disclosed further losses in income, New Haven's minimum quo tation of the previous day finding par tial explanation in a decrease of almost $500, 1000 for July.
 The money market was perhaps the most potent factor in effecting a read justment of prices. Call loans were offered at per cent but the rate dropped to when no bids were forth coming. Later five per cent ruled and some belated loans were made at 5ls per cent.
 The action of the treasury officials in depositing funds of the allies witt local institutions evoked favorable comment and should go far toward rectifying last weeks adverse bank statement. Other events at Washing ton also induced short covering, es- pecially in coppers and steels, the for. mer leading the more vigorous rally o the last hour.

In an article about Vermont in the September American Magazine writer says:
 We are not quite nowadays just what turn our common destiny is going take the next few years. mounting tide of vacationers has our way, and during the summer months are inundated by it. We welcome it, of course for it money in our lean pockets and a growing knowledge or the world. But we have our misgivings. It to us that it cannot be good for a to become chiefly playground, deserted by the players during nine months of the year These newcomers and goers not akin to in any way, have real part with us. They float the surface of life and share of grave difficulties Moreover they lay us open to violent attacks of worst temptations.

Storing Wheat

Probably the hardest problem the food director faces in handling the grain of the country and pre- venting famine prices next winter is the restriction Of hoarding by the farmers of the middle west They do not call it hoarding only holding"
 Of course. under the law, the producer a right to hold his grain long he desires The pro- visions against speculative operations apply only to dealers Strictly mutual and cooperative elevator companies reached by law
 In the farming districts of Kansas Missouri and other grain of the part of the country the modern system of storing wheat is simply to construct zinc bins in the fields. holding from 800 1000 bushels of wheat
 The grain is stored loose in these bins and is held here at practically cost the farmer. If these little gain elevators we'll constructed the grain stored in them and properly insured is the best of security for bank loans.
 With the establishment of g the minimum price for wheat next the bankers taking no chances in making these loans for even in the fact Of possible peace and great grain harvest deprecia- tion not go below the government price
 Many of the growers of the middle west taking advantage of these conditions. frankly say that they propose to store their wheat borrow from their local banks on the grain and wait for 8 s4 which they assert they will get io the winter
 It remains to be whether under the sweeping powers conferred by the food control law Hoover win be able to bring about the release of this grain in normal flow without further appeal to congress
 By fixing fair price for the entire year and taking all available grain at that price, it is likely that Hoover make the outlook for specu- iative prices in the winter unfavorable that the farmers and other hoarders grain will decide to while prices are well above the minimum fixed for year
 It is interesting note that while the wheat crop of the country according the August of the will be 372 O0O 900 bushels less than last the total yield of great staples wheat corn oats barley and potatoes will the largest in the history of the country.
 In the light of these facts Hoover ought to be able to apply pressure which will prevent wholesale hoardng by the growers

Local Produce Market

Potatoes were somewhat cheaper in the local market yesterday, selling around $3.50 a hundred for the best. The decline was due to large ship ments from the Stockton country. where stock held in storage was turned loose on the market last week. It is not expected that the reduction in the price of potatoes will continue for any length of time. It is explained that a keen shortage of labor exists in the potato county about Stockton and the potato diggers are getting $3.75 a day As soon as the old stock is cleaned up, potatoes will again advance to around $4, according to reports yes- teruay from the coast
 Grapes declined yesterday. on ad- vices from the coast that they were ripening rapidly and coming into mar ket in iarse u..an.ity.
