There is some new trouble in the land
here. The farmers have organized farm
load association under the federal law and
will borrow money from the federal govern
ment under the law authorizing farmers
loaned money for long periods of time at
5H% premiums. We have some bankers
and money loaners who charge high rates
of interest; they are becoming alarmed.
Many are going to pay off what they owe
with what they get from the government.
Some few fellows are getting scared, now,
at the prospects of losing business. This

DAILY GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago March 21-Wheat. Market very nervous and sentiment more evenly divided as result of deVeiOpmen nts sug- eesting a continuation of bull markets. with a period of downturns likely for the immediate future. The most significant news in our opinion was the effort by foreigners to resell previous purchases. t is understood considerable was effect d. Peace rumors were also persisteut. but uncoufirmed. and general political ldvices were of an unsettlng character. The act of copper producers in cutting heir prices to the United States gov arnment for patriotic reasons was con- strued by some as a forerunner of what might occur in the grain trade to influ- ence lower level ot values. The May delivery at times ruled cOmparati lively weaker than the deferred futures but also rallied sharply and reflected an increas-
 ngly tight position as delivery draws near. Crop reports are still conflicting. but on the whole are not so pessimstic as recently. and it is believed that a short period of growing weather will alter the outlook over sections where ap- nrehenSton now prevails. Cash prices are well maintained. notwithstanding the re-Selling and the acute car situation. which. however seems only natural in view Of the light stocks and the beJef the new crop starts to move to market We believe it will prove the part of wis dom to confne transactions 10 the July and September which are likely to he

New York March el--Thc advancing tendency in cotton values continued to- day and as there was little opposition to the upward movement prices advanced at times rather easily. Prominent bull interests of the early winter were very conspicuous on the buying side and the outside inquiry also Increased moder- atoN. Many peace rumors were in cir CdaHon and coupled with the unsatis- factory weather in the central belt where more rain fell overnight and pre- dictions for more to follow in the Caro- luas stimulated the aggress 'veness of cons tructive believers The treasury de- partmcut at Washington i'm announcing its roucy to insure American cargoes in ocean travel at a flat rate of 2 percent led to the belief that exports will likely
 be accelerated. This was a factor on the advance and the conviction is grow inc stronger daily that the statistical no- sitiou will gain in strength until new harvest X better spot demand was re- ported in the Atlantic states althouch exports today were nil. opinion is quite freely expressed that events of impor- tauce in the international situation are fast annroachng that in their entirety W i'll at least crvstalzc constructive sem timeut and probably bring about n fur ther enhancement in the price Of this 1FtY q
