Local Produce Market

Coast commission merchants are wir- ing Phoenix market men that there are plenty of fancy northern potatoes on hand but that orders must be placed as far in advance as possible to assure delivery, owing to car shortage. This car shortage if anything is growing more acute. market men say. There is no telling when a carload of stock is going to reach here after it has been ordered.
 The local market is beginning to feel the pinch of another potato shortage. The supply yesterday was limited. The onion situation is similar-plenty of i onions but no cars. Alfalfa hay is firm at s17 and SIS a ton, which is high for this time of the year. It is reported that in Globe all falfa hay is selling at s1.60 a bale.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

A decline of points and half in a stock like D&H is bound to unsettle the railroad list. This taken in conjunction with the heaviness of N. Y. c. has brought a decided wave of selling throughout almost the whole railroad list. The stocks which suffer the most are the ones whose bonded debt is greater than it's stock debt and they are the ones that will be affected most probably under new taxation.
 Irregularity is expected in the active list. Trunk line heaviness is unsettling sentiment The market is still a pro- fessional affair. AS such. it is subject to or susceptible to quick changes but within restricted limits. Believe stand ard issues should be bought on mod crate recessions for turns. The ship ping shares, equipments and low priced rails are well bought during reces- sions.
 Any breaks of importance in the in dependent steel group will find large buying orders on a scale down in Cru cible, Rep. Steel and Lack. Steel. ac- cording to our reports. There are also indications of good buying of Col Fuel during recessions. There is no lack of confidence now in well informed guar

CORN GREAT FACTOR
 IN FEEDING WORLD
(NeW York Trihune)

It is stated that the corn crop, which. with favorable weather from now on. may equal the bumper crop yield of 1912, shows an increase of 1000 O0O bushels over last year, with a total of 3, 124 100000 bushels.
 The kernel of corn is the basis of the great American crop, of which we pro- duced 2,5S3,241, 900 bushels last year. more than half of the worlds produc- ltion. One hundred million acres of our soil are planted with this crop, of which the kernel is the humble but potent unit The germ of the grain furnishes valuable oil and oilcake for stock feed ling. The hulls and cell walls, with the lgluten. furnish the valuable stock feed known as gluten feed" From the |starch liquid glucoses and solid sugars are obtained.
 Out of last years crop PAL GOO bushels were consumed as corn meal land corn four S37.333,OOO bushels as ,homny and grits and 10000, 900 as corn starch, glucose and grape sugar. Corn oil to the amount of S,164.00O gallons was produced. and 45.5OO,O0O bushels of corn were used in the manufacture of istilled and fermented liquors. From a bushel of corn the following Quantities of material are produced ac- |cording to the corn bulletin issued by the American Steel and Wire Company: 1.50 pounds corn oil.

 made it one of the greatest plants in | the field Every one knows the value
 and use of corn as a farm feed, but few appreciate it's value as human food in this country. In other corn producing
 countries it is popular human food It is a strictly American plant. but sail ors carried it broadcast, and fields of it
 nodw cover the otLer continents. i The white man found corn in use by
 the Indians in Virginia. In most other
 countries it is known as maize, and in English texts it is referred to as Indian
 corn Today, when the snow is on the
 Illinois corn fields, the Argentine corn
 fields are lipening. The largest pro-
 ducing areas are in the United States,

 Wheat showed a tendency to harden in value owing perhaps to reports that an unusually large amount of winter wheat was still in shock and that there were consequent possibilities of active demand.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Transporta ton shares were singled out for attack by the bears in the stock market today, their depression particularly in the coal division giving emphasis to rumors of forthcoming regulation of that com modity by the federal government.
 Simultaneously the comparative strength of steels was accompanied by unconfirmed reports that basis of prices satisfactory to the manufac- turers would be announced by the Washington authorities.
 United States Steel made a gross gain of 1 N points and closed at 124%, net gain of 1s.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Bradstreet' tomorrow will say:
 New business which is increasing in wholesale lines is streaked with con- servatism, but optimism as to fall trade has not abated, the crop situa- tion is better, governmental buying is expanding and industry, taken as a whole, continues very active. Most re- ports regarding wholesale trade, while admitting lack of snap agree that business is good, being relatively bet ter in the crop growing sections than elsewhere and it is generally felt that fall trade will be of large proportions.
 Except where army camps are To- cated, retail trade is not above fair. Labor is scarce, is inefficient and the situation is marked by considerable unrest, while mobilization under the draft will further reduce supplies in this respect. In the iron and steel in- dustries. new domestic buying is light, though government orders are enlarg- ing but prices for pig iron disclose an easier undertone, while steel billets took another drop.

this is the first time in their knowledge
that snow that fell early in the winter

had the misfortune to lose his valuable
LACK Percheron stallion early last week,
the animal being found dead in the stall
one morning 1t had not been sick the
day before and the owner knows of no
reason for its death. Aside from the
monetary consideration, the loss is
heavy one to Mr.. Luchtefeld owing to
the difficulty of securing a suitable one
to replace it short of the big eastern

and state that they were able to secure

They say the snow was all gone and the

they only saw two or three cloudy days
while in that section. They say land
can be purchased there for So an acre

of the purchase price must be paid

prove it as required under the enlarged

The burdock Is biennial plant, the
seeds being produced on the plants

roots can be killed by cutting them
with spade well under the surface of
the ground. so as to cut the root be-
low the crown. If growth starts again
second cutting will be necessary to
prevent the plants producing seed,
which they sometimes do close to the
ground.

MANY LEAVE FOR WYOMING.

Quite bunch of Cottonwood citizens
left this week for Wyoming where most
of them secured homesteads late last
fall and where they will now locate and
try to redeem the wild range land and
bring it down to the production of all
kinds of tame grains and grasses for the
use and benefit of humble man. Two
ears of emigrant goods were shipped
from here to that state Wednesday
morning. One car was filled with live
stock and personal effects belonging
to Max Render, Phil Wagner and John
Ries, another held the belongings of
Henry Micheis and VIM. Lies, and It
third was hipped to the Colville reserva-
ton by Anthony Vessels, of Green
creek. Lloyd and Enoch Crosby will
ship their effects to Wyoming in a
week or two, as will also several par
ties from Tenn.
All of the parties leaving here to
carve out new homes are honest, up
right citizens who are bound to make
good in their new homes unless the
soil and climatic conditions are entirely
against them. They go well prepared
to withstand the hardships of homestead
life and we hope to later see them en-
ioying bountiful fruits of their own
hard earnings. Here's wishing them
all success.-Cottonwoo Chronicle
