NEW YORK FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. = After
period of uncertainty, with narrow
and irregular movements, the stock
market gained strength today and be-
gan a deliberate but we'll maintained
advance. Early declines were made
I'D and net gains of moderate proper
tions were established, with occasion
al rises of points or more. Total
sales were $4,000 0shares.
Except in the last hour the market
showed less buoyancy than during
yesterdays upturn. The compara-
lively small volume of orders on hand
at the opening led to a temporary re-
newal of selling operations but de-
mand caused the bears to reverse
their tactics and poin in the bidding.
There were no new factors of gen.
eral application to offer an obvious
explanation of the movement. steer
stocks led the market
The feature was the strong demanc
for United States Steel which sold
at more than points above the low
price of this week. The coppers. held
back by uncertainty as to the price
to be established for the metal, show
ed early heaviness but later made
moderate advance.
The bond market did not reflect
the strength. of stocks. The tone was
irregular Total sales, par value. 49,
$4,000. U. S. 2's registered declin-
ed y and the 3's Il per cent on call.
Liberty bonds sold at 99.9S to 100.

Selling Wheat
BIZ Frederic J. Hask n

10000 barrels OF -four. That -four
may be nonexistent; the butterflies
may be futtering over the wheat that
will make it, to paraphrase General
Goethals. But none the less your
baker can go to miller and con-
tract for his flour at given price.
The risk il thus transferred to the
miller. He has bound himself to de-
liver -four at given rate and if the
price of wheat should double in the
interim it might break him. But he
can go into the market and buy the
unharvested wheat for future delivery.
He consults the future" prices be-
fore he makes his contract. He
takes no risk at all.
Because he takes no risk he can
not legitimately demand exorbitant
profits. And the price he pays for
his future wheat is fair to the farmer,
because the future quotation is based
on the condition of the worlds wheat
crop, and is normally the most accu-
rate possible forecast of the value
of the coming wheat crop. Many
farmers are under the impression that
the trading in futures is opposed to
their own best interests. There is a
future market for wheat. In a nor
NAL year 81 per cent of the ultimate
price of the wheat goes to the
Omaha daily bee., 1917-07-01

trading in futures ceases to be a good
and becomes serious evil. As long
as the board Of trade is an adjunct to
tn grain business it is a good thing.
1t is an insurance against price fluc-
tuations, and in some form such an
insurance must exist, or there can be
no trading except on wide margins
But as soon as the grain business OF
the country begins to be a mere ad-
junct of the board OF trade, then it is
time to take down the family shotgun
and proceed to resist invasion.
The immediate question is, what are
we going to do about itl The grain
exchange is necessity, but it is an
institution quite capable of being
abused. Spectators have even been
known to abuse it. The answer, un-
less all the signs Of the times are
wrong, seems to spell government
regulation. A strict federal supervis-
ion of all dealing would permit the
legitimate trade to go on, and stop all
attempts to use the machinery for il
legitimate purposes. A policy of "en-
lightened supervision" is what Mr..
Brand Of the Office OF markets sees as
indicated.
1t may be stated with authority that
while the pending legislation carries
broad authority in many directions,
that authority will be used to remedy
abuses ir existing institutions wher-
ever such course is possible, rather
than to replace them with new and un-
tried ones. This formula seems to fit
the case of the grain exchange.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-07-01

farmer. There is no future market
Tor barley nor for potatoes. In a
normal year 81 per cent of the ulti-
mate price of the barley goes to the
producer and only IS per cent of the
ultimate value of the potatoes.
The consumer, the city man whose
dealings are with the bakery, is prone
to think that the future trader is the
man to yhom all his woes are due
Future trading in wheat is just as
necessary from the ultimate consum-
cr's point of view as it is from the
producers. By reducing the element
OF risk, il cuts down the profit Of the
middlemen. By its sytem of reaching
ahead, it smooths over the ups and
downs OF prices that follow unex-
pected developments in the grain sit
uation. 1t irons the price curve from
Jagged line into a long, smooth
curve.
This summary is not defense of
the board of trade or the grain ex-
change. There have been numerous
abuses Of the system, and there are
a dozen technical ways in which it
can be juggled to benefit the operator
at the expense OF the plain citizen on
both ends-the farmer and the con-
sumer The best known, of course, is
the corner, wherein a speculator tries
to buy up all the gain in sight and
use his monopoly for extortion. In
such a case, the future prices no
longer reflect the real value of the
grain. As soon as this is the case,

Yellowstone Park Region
Visited by Heavy SnoWStorm

The railroads have received word
that the Yellowstone National park
has been visited with the heaviest
June snowstorm ever experienced in
that section. In the park the snow
fall has been eighteen inches to two
feet and in the canyons along Cody
gateway it has driftcd to a depth Of
ten to twelve feet.
Travel has not started toward the
park yet, but it is expected to within
the next few days. 1t is said that
the snow is not expected to remain
on the ground more than a few DAYS,
but when it melts it is thought that
the auto roads will be in bad condi-
ton for a long time.

ness.

Sioux City, Ia, June 30.-(Special
When South Dakota went dry at
o'clock tonight Jefferson, the little
village which has been a mecca for
the thirsty of Iowa and Nebraska
since these states went dry, will
lapse again into its sleepy quietude ol
former years.
Jefferson is the town which leaped
into the limelight when Iowa went
dry more than a year ago. Normally
town of 300 and 400 people, Jeffer.
son in the past two months has pre-.
sented a scene of unusual activity
Daily the road from Sioux City and
other points to the only available
oasis" has been lined with autos
these have come from towns in
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebra ska,
all prepared to carry back treason
able amount" of liquor for use during
the long dry spell. All trains on the
SMilwaukee line entering the town
have carried extra coaches to ac-
commodate the purchasers during the
past week.
Five Dispensaries Busy.
Five establishments have been en-
gagged in the liquor business in the
little town. Three OF these dealt ex-
clusively in original packages. The
other two conducted both a whole
sale and retail trade. According to
an estimate made by the firms en-
gagged in the traffic the receipts for
the past year have exceeded $l,000,-
900.
Frank Caine, a former Sioux City
saloon keeper, was the last person to
enter the business at Jefferson. About
nine months ago he bought the sa-
loon OF Welch Brothers, paying them
$4,000 in cash for the place, a rec
ord price for such venture. 1t was
predicted that he would be a heavy
loser, as several months afterward
the legislature passed a law making
the state dry July l. Instead of being
loser Caine will. reap small for
tune. He conducted wholesale and
retail business.
Small Army Now Idle.
A small army of clerks, bartenders
and laborers lose their jobs as a re-
suit of the application of the dry law.
The pay rolls of the five establish
ments probably exceed $500 day.
The stfangest thing in connection
with the towns career is that
though booze and hilarity have flour
ished. law and order have prevailed at
all times. Marshal Conners declared
today that not a single drunk had
been arrested and that fights were
rare. II
