Rock Island Liquor
Dealers Fight IowaBm
Start Letter Campaign to Defeat
Proposed Law to Stop Booze
Shipments Into State

An illustration of how the liquor
interests seek TO invade dry territory
and override the will of the people
is shown by the action of the Rock
Island wholesale liquor companies in
attempting to defeat the bill before
the Iowa Legislature TO stop ship
ments of liquor into that state.
Many of the brewery companies
and disti,lery concerns. as we'll as the
wholesalers, through their Offices in
Rock Island. have written personal
letters to their customers in Iowa
urging them TO appeal to their state
Representatives and Senators to vote
against the bill.
A representative OF one concern
said a few days ago: "our entire Of
fee force has been busy for the last
week mailing out letters TO our GUS
toners IN Iowa. And while there
may be other efforts 10 lobby agains,
the proposed law, we believe the most
effective results will be obtained

Whisky No Worse

Spirits Drinker Gets Less Alcohol
Than Beer D-inler. According
10 Liquor Authorities

The Champion of Fair Play, which
describes itself as "A journal devoted
10 the interests of the retail liquor
trade" takes issue with the brewers
and their allies who claim that all the
evils resulting from the sale of liquor
arc due to whisky, and that beer is
harmless.

Beer Worse Than Whisky
According 10 the editor of the
Champion. the beer and wine drinker
get more alcohol than the whisky
drinker.

fofiai, when a man orders whisky

saloon who at heart are against it. -
But these calamities never materi-
alize. There are no panics, no riots,
taxes do not go up and real estate
values do not go down. Instead, there
is greater prosperity, better order,
better law enforcement, and in gen.
eral a. more wholesome atmosphere
pervades the community after the sa-
loon is gone.
When people find out they have
been deceived by the liquor advo-
Gates, many of them turn to the ac-
tive support of the drys by evidence
of the results of Prohibition. This
happened in Seattle and Denver and
in other cities which were forced by
a statewide vote into the Prohibition
column.
After a years actual experience
with Prohibition, Denver turned from
5000 wet to over 10000 dry and Sc
attic from $4,000 wet to over 10000
dry. The state of Arkansas, after a
year of Prohibition. changed from
$4,000 wet to $1,000 dry.
Nobody need have fear of what will
happen in Chicago when it votes dry
or is forced by the rest of the state into
the dry column. Public sentiment is
not a stationary thing and beneficial
results of Prohibition will cause pub
lie sentiment to change overwhelm-
ingly TO the dry administration as it
has done in Denver and Seattle and
other dry cities.

Chicago, July 31.-An easier under
tone has prevailed in corn from the
start. The excellent crop reports from
the big surplus states, and the fore
cast for cooler weather, with local
thunder storms over a good part OF
the belt, led to selling which caused
values to ease off. Kansas remains
hot and dry. The crop there is being
seriously injured, but the central states
needed hot weather. Selling today has
been Of better class than the buying.
Cash demand brisk. Peoria distillers
bidding high prices, but offerings very
light
Oats lower with corn, and on selling
by commission houses. Threshing re-
turns remain excellent. Country Offer
ings to arrive increasing. Minneapolis
expects new grain the latter part OF
this or early next week. Nothing heard
Of export demand. Buying Of lard by
houses with eastern clients was the
prominent feature in provisions. Some
Of this buying was due to sharp ad-

Demand-Review Of Market condi-
tions-Current Quotations.

Chicago, July S1-Hog prices harden
ed today owing to the fact that no en-
largement Of receipts took place as
many dealers had expected.
Elven markets Monday had 1000
hogs than week ago, the principal
increase being at Kansas City, Omaha,
St. Louis and Buffalo.
Despite the fact that the Chicago
hog run was more than 9,009s-less than
week ago, the eleven principal mar
kets received $1,000 head, being 1000
more than week ago, $1,000 less than
a year ago, $1,000 less than year ago
and 5000 more than same day two
years ago. Practically all the markets
had more hogs than week ago, and
more than half the number had less
than q year ago, the Chicago total be-
ing 22,700 less than year ago.
The daily spread between top hogs
and the general average price at Chi
cago last week was IS to 70 cents per
100 pounds, but traders are expecting
a much wider spread the coming
month. In August, 1916, the daily
spread between the top and the aver
age ranged from 40 cents to Sc cents,
while in August, 1915, it covered a
range Of 50 cents to 1882, being about
the widest on record. Aug. 10, 1915,
the top was $7.75, while the average
was only $e.43.
Cattle.
There was no pressing call for cattle.
Hot weather made cattle fill eNcep-
tionally we'll and dressing figures on
todays purchases undoubtedly will not
be high General quality was the poor
est for Monday in many weeks. but
that was undoubtedly due to the in
ability Of many sections to get stock
into Chicago. The railroad strike has
been called of and conditions will be-
come normal within few days and
more prime stock should be received.
Some rangers due here today were not
received and later in the week several
shipments are expected.

| Chicago, July S1-Corn-Lberal
train over large part Of the northwest
had depressing effect on corn from
(which it did not recover at any time
Sduring the session. The cash market
twas strong and local bulls looked to
/ this source for the usual help, but
were disappointed. Undoubtedly the
liberal takings Of cash corn by dis
tillers in anticipation Of congressional
FACTION forbidding the manufacture OF
tspirits is an important factor in the
strength Of cash corn.
Oats-Altho large short interest
was disclosed in the July delivery which
near close ran prices up to 80 cents per
bushel, the later months were inclined
to drag under pressure Of large thresh-
ing resurns and better weather in the
northwest.
