Special Wheat Bulletin by Lamson.

Chicago. Sept. 4.-There are likely
TO be misunderstanding in regard 10
the price of wheat fixed b. the govern
ment, farmers getting the idea that
$500 is the price they are TO receive
for their grain. It should De made
clear that $3.50 Chicago and s2.lo
Omaha is the price Of No. red wheat
"a grade rarely available) AMI that
s217 Chicago and s2.12 Omaha are the
prices fixed for No. grades of hard
and red winter. and before a net price
to the farmer can be determined l per
cent to the commission man, dockaSe
in connection with grades freight rate
to the terminal market, interest, weigh
ing and inspection charges, country
dealer handling expense, all must be
considered. The new federal grades or
wheat are detailed and technical and
dealers must realize their judgment
will often be wrong and wheat they
buy for 50 will misgrade and inspect
No. g. costing 3 cents, the difference
between the two grades.
The government has fixed prices on
all grades of wheat. but we here give
Chicago prices Of those in which We
believe you will be most interested:
No. red and hard, s2.17; No. l north
ern spring. $3.50: No red and hard,
S214: No northern spring, s2.17; No.
red and hard, s2.10; No. 3 northern
spring s2A: No. northern spring,
$40. The commission for handling in
the terminal market will be l per cent,
and if wheat is shipped direct to the
food administration corporation they
will charge the same rate.
All elevators are asked to procure
government licenses from the food adj
ministration bureau in order that
wheat and rye may be taken from
farmers if offered. Reports have to be
made to Washington only when wheat
and rye are handled. Government rye
price has not been issued yet but is ex-
pected soon. Yours truly, Lamson

Chicago, Sept 4.-Hogs declined In
price today, owing to the poor quality
of the offerings.
Considering the big advance Of last
week. combined receipts of hogs at
eastern and western markets Monday
were comparatively small. The eleven
points received only $1,000, or
1900 more than previous Monday and
1900 more than year ago.
Chicago alone had over third of
the total at eleven markets, being cred
ted wit, $4,000 or $500 more than a
week ago and $500 more than a year
ago. While Chicago increased so ma
terially the combined total at Missouri
river markets was a few hundred
smaller than a week ago.
Cattle.
Cattle were largely of an unattrac-
tive sort and the market continued
weak.
Local receipts of $4,000 Monday
We're larger than generally expected
and included around 400 10 the pack
ers from other markets. There were
around 5000 rangers included in the
run and several loads Of Kansas ma
tives were received. The run was
nearly as large as a week ago and al
most four times as large RS a year ago,
when receipts were held down be-
cause Of big receipts the previous Sat
urday when a railroad strike was
threatened
Seven western markets had $4,000
Monday, or 5000 more than last Mon
day. $1,000 more than a year ago and
10000 more thar two years ago. West
ern offerings for the year to date at
500, 900 were 1,073.000 larger than cor
responding period a year ago. Kansas
City and ST. Paul were the old out
side markets having a liberal run yes
terday.
Four loads of cattle went to the
shambles Monday at sl6.75, a new rec
ord for cattle prices, the old record be-
ing $3.50, made last week. Two loaos
Of cattle were owned BY Ben F. Myers
of Dallas county, Iowa and two loads
by NJ. o. Sullivan of Montgomery
country. Indiana.
Mr.. Myers bought these cattle last
October. From then to January the
stuff was run on pasture and stalk
lot on JAN and fed a ration Of silage,
oat straw and clover hay. The silage
ration was increased until the cattle
got about fifty pounds per day per
head. The silage ran out on March
rs. when the stuff was fed peck OF
corn clover hay and two pounds OF
cottonseed meal. Later the cattle were
fed twenty-five pounds Of ground corn
and cob meal and five pounds Of cot
tonseed meal, on blue grass pasture
These cattle cost $1S.75 last fall and
averaged 1000 pounds. Mr.. Myers mar
keted the tailings of the cattle some
time ago: also a bunch Of yearlingA
which brought more than SIS.

Sheep offerings were Of poor quality
and prices failed to hold up to recent
