Well. let the Germans go on fool

Uncle Sam will get them if they don't

We know and they'll know before

If they want proof let them heed

past few weeks since We heard the
call of the allies and our soldiers for
more wheat.
Let them know that our leading no.

be wheatless.
Let them read OF our towns. cities.

Chicago, March Clogs made a
sharp advance in price today owing
to comparative meagerness of offerings
and because the big packers had no
Iconsignments direct.
Eleven markets received 5000 less
hogs Friday than a week ago and S4,
600 more than year ago. Chcago
reported 4,5G0 less than week ago and
1880 more than year ago. The four
| Missouri river markets received 500
moro than a week ago and $4,000 more
than the corresponding Friday a year
ago.
Cattle.
The run of cattle was larger than
expected and the market weakened
consequently.
Trade has been irregular the past
few days, but with the largest five
days supply available since early in
January the sellers had little com
plant to make. The zone system I'M
doubtedly is helping sellers in more
ways than one and even the buyers
admit that thy are deriving some ben
eft, as i. has tendency to avoid con-
gestion
Receipts were estimated early yes
terday at $500 and later at 10000 and
larger, standing over 1000 larger thaa
last Friday and about five times as
large as a year ago. Thus far this
week 7S, 200 were received. or around
5000 more than same period last week
fiTe days year ago
Seven western markets were cred
tied with $4,000. or 1000 less than a.
week ago, but three times as many as
corresponding Friday year ago.
Combined arrivals for the week to date
totaled 213,oOD. or 5000 more than same
period last week and $4,000 more than
corresponding time a year ago.

Most of the sheep arriving went

Chicago, March 9.-Corn-Corn held
firm at a fractional gain over yester-
day, largely because Of strength in the
cash situa ton. Primary receipts for
the last two weeks have aggregated
around $1,000, 900 bushels, high rec
ord in the history Of the trade The
taking Of kiln dried corn for export
and good demand from industries
have. however, held the market firm
and caused a material advance in low
grades during this time. The problem
Of securing good seed is serious one
but is being met by the combined ef-
forts Of trade interests and the fed
eral government.
OatS-Altho seeding has been pro-
crossing favorably, the outlook for I'M
favorable weather conditions and con-
tinued good cash demand resulted in
higher prices today. While farm re-
serves are large the exceptional mill
ing demand, as the result Of increased
consumption Of oats and their products
both at home and abroad, has been
responS BILE for the gradual upturn in
values. The season is now at hand
when reduced consumption usually
takes place and the advent Of spring is
