Seed Shortage in Northwest

ISnccinI COrresp spOndence

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 19.-Seed grain
shortage will be one Of the big prob

mand attention from now on.
The Ninth District Federal Reserve
Bank has begun exhaustive inquiry into
the seed corn situation. Il IS already
clear that there is not enough corn OF

years crop. Bad weather, while It left
corn that was sufficiently good for feed
ing purposes. made the quantity avail

Nothing necessarily alarming az,

where TO plant next years crop. II IS
the case. however, that neither Wis

In d ustrials
Cotton

An early decline was followed by a
sharp advance in the cotton market
yesterday. with near months relatively
the stronger. Additional December no
tices, estimated at about / 900 bales,
were stopped on the early decline, and
that delivery sold up to 30.6j in the
late trading, or 40 points above
Wednesdays close and even with the
previous best level of the season. Re
ports that cotton taken up earlier in
the month was already being shipped
out and that further deliveries would
be taken before the end Of the month
circulated on the advance. The
strength of the near positions helped
the rally i'm the later months and the
general list closed with net gains Of
TO 25 points.
The census report, showing l0.142.S5S
bales gained TO December -, was in
line with expectations, and had IL not
been for unfavorable weather the small
ginning for the period would probably
have caused some reduction in csti-
mates Of the crop.
December increased its premium over
January TO about cent pound, but
there was also active covering in Janu-
airy on reports that the same people
who had taken up cotton on December
were long of that delivery.
Southern spot advices were generally
strong, and a good part Of the early
selling was absorbed on scale down
by trade interests. There were rumors
Of some sort Of change in the export
situation, which included suggestions
that the whole question OF cotton ex-
ports would be turned over TO a COM
mittce. Nothing definite developed in
that connection. Exports for the day
were 27,130 bales, making 1915 SO
far this season. Southern spot mar
kcts, as officially reported, were un-
changed to 10 points higher, generally
unchanged, with a fair volume of bust
ness. particularly in the Southwest.
