markets
II il pointed out that there IL ais
elimination OF from III to cents =
bushel, which, owing to the fact that
price Of wheat will be . stable one
will turn much business away from
this point The government has hxed
Chicago as q basis and ruled that the
price of wheat at Minneapolis should
be put at 8 cents less bushel than
here, whereas the normal freight dif-
ference is from Az to s cents. ,conse-
quently the farmer could obtain ! much
better value for his grain by shipping
IT to Minneapolis.
In the case Of Kansas City and Oma-
ha the government has allowed q
cent discount under basic price. while
the normal freight difference is about
100 cents per bushel. Baltimore -
placed at cents moro than Chicago
and New York at 10 cents over ana
the freight differences between those
points and Chicago are SIS cents ana
9.1S cents respectively.
Mr. Griffin sent q formal protest TO
Mr.. Hoover, but did not wish to make
the details public until after the food
administrator had received his mes
sage. The trade here Is much worked
up over the situation, especially be-
cause Of the railroad discrimination
against Chicago in favor of other mar
kete during the last spring and winter.
The wheat price of s2.20, as fixed by
the committee. received comparatively
little comment in view of the other
matter which threatens to rob this
market OF thousands Of dollars worth
of business.
Untitled contracts for September
wheat are to be settled at $2.13. This
decision was reached by a committee
appointed by President Griffin and d.
rectors OF the board Of trade. The COM
mite is composed Of E. L Chaser
Frank B. Rice. and John F. Barrett.

Get Your Feeders.

Corn-fed cattle are now selling $500
@2.35 higher than a month ago, while
choice feeding grades are hardly
steady.
This state OF affairs should mean a
great deal to the country, for 1t shows
that feeders are relatively cheap.
1t is a good time to buy feeding
cattle and already some feeders have
come to that conclusion, for the de-
mand this week was better than it has
been for months.
Better ge. in before everyone else
is Of the same opinion. as Increased
demand is certain to cause a rapid gain
in the cost of thin cattle.
A few weeks ago a good class OF
feeders sold at $3.50 and fleshy ones
occasionally up to $500 and little
higher, while at present similar kinds
are worth $3.50 $50, with a few going
out as high as 1913.
The lower priced animals have not
firmed up as much as the good to
choice kinds and. If you have plenty
of grass, you can stock up with the
cheaper kinds at reasonable rates.
The campaign urging farmers TO buy
thin cattle !s beginning to bear fruit.
and within the next few weeks many
orders will be filled
There is much room for advance in
| cost, and early buying VIII be to the
advantage Of the prospective feeder
The corn crop il rapidly nearing ma
| turity. and the outlook for a big yield
| is more promising every week.
II you do not get some cattle you
may have a surplus of corn on nand
| which will bring less money at the ele-
| vator.
Killers recently purchased a lot OF
| thin cattle which should have gone
back to the country to be finished
but feeders would not heed the advice
Of the trade, preferring to wait a little
while longer.
Delay in buying thin cattle whether
they are stockers or feeders, means in
| creased cost.
With the margin unusually wide be-
! tween thin and prime animals, it looks
like an exceptionally good investment
at this time to get what you want i'm

Chicago, Sept. Demand for hogs

cents higher than yesterdays average.
At the close of the market Friday it
was estimated 5000 remained in the
pens, but small proportion of them
were of a desirable class with a good
sprinkling Of common packers, which
were comparatively hard to sell from
the opening to the close of the mar
ket.
The seven principal western markets
had 10000 hogs Friday, or exactly two
thirds of the arrivals at eleven mar
kets. All the western points were
smaller than week ago and year
ago. The total at eleven markets to-
day at 10000 was $4,000 less than a
week ago, $1,000 less than a year ago
and 1900 less than two years. Re-
ceipts for the first five days OF the
week at these points total 10000, or
$1,000 less than same days last week,

900 less than same days two years

Chicago Board Files Protest.

Washington, Sept Now that the
basic price for wheat has been fixed
by the government, the TASK of the
food administration ahead is 10 force
down the cost of -four and bread to
the consuming public.
How to accomplish this is the PROB
lem confronting administrators Hoover,
the wheat purchasing board, and It's
constituent organizations Of millers
and bakers. The millers' committee.
headed by j. F. Bell, Of Minneapolis.
is now in session in New York, and
recommendations are expected to come
from them in the near future.
Admittedly the food administration
has no legal club to hold over the
heads Of the retailers, bakers, and
millers, but efforts have been under
way for months and will be continued
TO bring about a voluntary agreement
between millers and bakers on prices
for -four and bread
Hopes to Reduce Prices.
"We shall endeavor to bring about
voluntary agreements Administrator
Hoover said, whereby the public will
be given fair prices for bread and -four
commensurate with the fixed prices for
the 1917 wheat crop"
OF course the goal now Is to reach
the cent loaf Of bread as a result OF
the $3.50 per bushel price for wheat.
There is considerable doubt here that
the bakers can be induced to drop to
that price, however, but the food ad-
ministration proposes to drive toward
it as hard as possible.
Stops All Speculation.
The wheat administration believes
that while farmers may be displease-
to some extent at a price lower than
expected, the new system viii make
their profits sure, will prevent specuia-
ton, give millers and bakers fair
margin. and assure the workingman OF
fair priced bread.
President Wilson expressed himself
as confident the price fixing Will
stabilize the wheat business and work
for the general good.
That the 1870 wheat price is fair to
the farmers Is indicated by state
mont Issued yesterday by the depart
ment Of agriculture The average
yearly price of No. l northern spring
wheat on the Chicago market during
the last ten years was $1.25. ranging
from 81 cents In 1913 to SAT this year.
The average price paid to producers
during this period was $1.o7. ranging
from 10 cents in 1918 to 81 this year.
