Commodities

nounced it's new alignment Of prices
which makes 1925 for No. wheat at
Chicago the basis, and everything is
now in readiness for handling the new
crop. The attitude Of Washington Sen
ators, however, is having an apparent
strong influence on the minds o< farm
ers, who arc not inclined to sell at
present prices If they can see any hope
of securing an advance of about %
cents bnshel in the event Of the price
being changed. Crop accounts continue
favorable, and a report yesterday by
B. W. Snow made the indicated yield
of winter wheat 500 100000 bushels and
spring wheat 100000. or only 25.-
100000 less than the outlook month
ago. Weather conditions were agaiA
favorable for harvesting operations,
but the only apparent increase in the
movement was at Kansas City, where
receipts were 14S,000 bushels.
Corn.-The corn market again dis
played a very firm undertone despite
very favorable weather conditions for
the new crop. Prices showed resist
ance to pressure, and at the close of
the day were &c to l12c above the
final of Tuesday There seems to be
little question that the trade is de
irving it's bullish tendencies from fears
that stocks are going to remain small
during the summer and that there is
going to be no big surplus for delv
cry on contracts. II has been repeat
odly predicted that the movement will
fall off rs soon as the new crop Of
wheat moves, and this is reflected in
firm undertone to the cash position.

market, however. is a narrow one and
recently has shown tendency to be-

OH. You souTHERNERs,

The recent annual report OF the
Comptroller OF the Currency con-
tains some interesting information
relating to the attitude of the banks
toward the Second Liberty Loan. A
list of 10 national banks is given
that failed to subscribe either for
themselves or their customers. to the
loan. Il is significant to note the
location Of these delinquent institu-
tions In the group OF l3 Southern
States there are 1898 national banks
and in all the other states there are
5,650. OF the 19 banks failing to sub
scribe 10 the Second Liberty Loan
- are located in the Southern states
in other words over six times as
many banks in the Southern states
in proportion to the total number,
failed to give evidence OF their pat
riotism by lending their money to
the Government.

This is a question the Lawrence
Gazette would like you to answer: II
the southern states raised wheat and
the western states raised cotton,
would President Wilson curtail the
price of wheat and let cotton go fly
ing? Cotton and corn are the staple
agricultural products of the south,
and no handicap has been placed on
either. Wheat is raised almost ex-
clusively in the west and north. The
price Of wheat is fixed, while the
price of corn and cotton is allowed
to go as high as the atmosphere will
permit. You wouldn't say there is
any politics in this, would you?
