HIGH MONEY AND
 B|G GOLD IMPORTS
 MARKET FEATURE
Dealings Contract Sharply and UndertOne Is Very Irregular-Continued
 Expected
By "HOp"

New York, June A.-Highest money rates this year and record-breaking gold imports were the salient features of the otherwise unimiportant week in the stock market Dealings contracted sharply and the undertone was often irregular.
 Call loans remained around 6 per cent, which rate was exceeded when industrial securities formed the great bulk of the collateral, further discrimination being shown against issues of speculative char acter Time rates also hardened and the paucity of money occasioned some anxiety.
 We'll informed financial circles expect no marked readjustment of these condi- tions pending payment of the first ho- erty loan installment which calls for $780, 0ooOo0. Almost coincident with this arc the July interest and dividend disburse- ments. which will surpass all previous demands.
 The treasury department has informed bankers that steps will soon be taken to relieve the pressure on the money mar ket resulting from the requirements of the liberty loan. It is expected half Of the money now virtually idle will be made available immediately after the mid-year.
 The s73, 100000 of British gold imported during the week was larger by more than S2O, GOO 900 than any previous amount re- ceived here in similar period. Its ar rival served to stabilize sterling when rates on the countries of all the other allies were uncertain heavy.

COTTON ADVANCES NEAR 25O POINTS
 DURING PAST WEEK
Various Conditions Con- tribute to Rise and Market Remains on Pivot of
 Expectancy

New Orleans June A-Advances of
 nearly 250 points on the strongest months
 were recorded in cotton on this market
 last week, the market recovering and ris-
 ing strongly from a reaction which set
 in at the middle of the week. Highest
 prices were made on the closing ses-
 sion when active months were 175 to 216
 points over the previous weeks close, and 210 to PAT points up from the low
 levels made Wednesday. The close showed a net gain of 155 to POT points. All
 months reached new high figures for the season, as did spots which closed at the highest at 25.25 cents a pound for mid ding.
 Efforts of the short interest to cover was the main influence working for higher levels. The lowest prices were reached following the closing of the Liverpool market, but the effect of this development was only temporary. The drouth in Texas belief In bullish of July, and an increased spot demand, were bullish features which contributed
 to the strength of the market This week the market will be concerned with the efforts to reopen trading on the Liverpool exchange and news regarding affairs there may strongly influence values here. Private reports on condi- tion and acreage may be relied upon to cause minor f!u1.t
 The weather map will be watched closely for the drouth in the western belt is looked upon as serious. Con- tinued dry weather will work for higher prices.
 The spot department probably will fur
 nish important news and signs of a con
 tinued good demand would be considered
 one of the strongest incentives possible Tor higher range of values than has yet been seen. Tuesday will be first mo- tfce day for July, and the reception of the first tenders in that market will be eagerly watched.

STEEL PEOPLE ARE NOT AT RAID OF
 PRICE INQUIRY
They Are Confident Govern ment Will Allow Reason able Contract for Ship
 Material

New York, June 24-Confidence is expressed in iron and steel circles that, after fuller government investigation, boats which the trade considers more reasonable will be adopted in place of prices now being imposed
 For cargo boats now under contract, it is estimated 160, 900 tons of steel will be required The other 2S steel boats ordered call for 56,000 tons and the 52 composite ships ordered will take 16,- 900 tons The wooden boats will re- quire 40,000 tons of rivets and 25,000 tons of bolts.
 Other government war contracts re- quire 100000 tons of steel in various forms. Of the total S1.O00 tons are for high explosive shells for which the mills are to receive 2% cents per pound.
 An interesting development Is the government proposal to distribute or ders for 800 Pacific type locomotives to be manufactured and distributed among railroads on the same terms proposed for the prospective 100, 900
 
 motives will cost $50,00O to 1000 each.
 Car shops have taken orders for 57O freight cars for domestic roads and 10000 more are under negotiation. Railroad equipment and manufacture CTS June orders call for 100000 tons Of steel. There is a great demand for all kinds of rails about 15,000 tons of heavy, medium and light sections having been sold at from s6O to $8O per ton.
 Independent wire product manufac- turers advanced prices $10 per ton and are asking $10 to $16 per ton above the American Steel and Wire company, but government orders for 50,00O kegs of wire nails have been distributed at $3.20 per keg.
 Pig iron continued excited but the volume of business had fallen off 25 to 50 per cent. Prices are up $250 to $S per ton on foundry iron in the east and $3 to $5 in the south, while char | coal and high silicon iron have ad- vanced $5 to s1o and low phosphorous iron $10 to $15.

URGENT MILITARY NECESSITY

Raising More Cattle.

Washington, Sept. 12.--Govern-
ment regulation OF the meat packing

shortly.
The packers. numbering about 4
score, came to Washington to take
np with Mr.. Hoover the threatened
meat shortage and the subject OF
raising prices. They are Of one opin-
ion that prices can be brought down
little unless Il determined effort is
made to increase the production OF

a licensing system for packing

Increased production OF live stock
is Il military necessity, Carl Vroo
man, Assistant Secretary Of Agricul
ture. declared in Il statement to-
night, after the packing meeting
ended.
More Live Stock.
The production OF more live stock
was highly desirable before the war
said Mr.. Vrooman. now it is ma.
tional necessity. first because Of the
terrible dearth OF meat animals not
only In this country. but throughout
the world; second, because no fur
ther waste Of feeds must be permit
ted, and the only thing that can pre-
vent waste on the farm Is the produc-
tiOn Of more live stock.
THE fact that keeping Of more
live stock is military necessity does
not mean that 1t Is any the less good
business. The farmer should not lose
this golden opportunity to cash In
his waste forage at war prices"

!. FILLING THE SILO. =.
!. !. !. !. !. !. j. !. !. e i. !. !. !.

Clemson College, Sept. 15.-Dis-
tributing and packing silage in the
silo is frequently neglected. Unless
the blower has distributor attach
ment there is tendency for the cut
corn to fall in one place in the silo.
If the stalks are frequently blown to
the outside and the heavier parts,
ears and butts Of stalks, are deposit
ed in the center, this will cause an
uneven distribution OF grain and
stalk and a consequent uneven quail
! ity OF silage. Uneven distribution is
frequently the cause of soft places
and air pockets, which later result in
spoied silage. When the lighter por-
tions are blown to the outside they
do not pack well and the silage spoils
near the wall. Such spoilage, which
really results from careless filling, is
often attributed to the silo.
Packing the silage is equally as
! important as distribution. Thorough
packing requires persistent work
Good silage can be had only by uni
form packing and uniform distribu-
ton Of the corn. The entire surface,
especially the outer edge, should be
packed firmly. The best help obtain
able should be stationed in the silo
! That is where the Silage is ultimate
ly made, and success depends on the
ability Of the men to distribute and
n.rly bo CORN nrpnar1,y
, spoiled silage. When the lighter por-
ponding large capacity frequently
saves money in filling the silo, but it
, may result In waste Of the storage
The large cutter with the CORES
filled rapidly the corn has little time
; to settle. Slow filing allows the
corn to settle as it is stored, with the
,, result that more corn can be placed
in the silo. To overcome the disad-
! vantage Of rapid filling, woven wire
may be extended above the top of the
silo, thus increasing its capacity un-
til it can settle. Patent roofs are
made which serve the same purpose.
Retilling in two or three days will
accomplish the same end
Corn cut at the proper stage
should require no additional water.
| When the crop has become too dry,
water will add to the keeping quail
| ties and palatability of the silage.
Water may be run into the blower or
directly into the silo. In the latter
| case it must be we'll distributed. ST.
lage made from fodder requires large
quantities Of water.
More or less silage will decay at
the top unless the silo Is sealed over
or unless feeding Is begun soon after
filling. To prevent much Of this
, loss, some farmers seal the silo with
three or four loads of green corn
from which the ears have been re-
moved. some use other sorts Of heavy
green crops, while still others use saw
dust satisfactorily. In every case it
Is advisable to soak this covering
! thoroughly with water and tramp it
regularly for several days after it has
been placed in the silo.
