WHEAT PRICES AT s2.20

President In Proclamation Fixes Maxi.
mum For Chicago and Other Grain
csntsrs-Pries Ranges UP to $2.2s in
Other Markets.
Washington, Feb. 25.-President WILL
son late Saturday raised the govern
ment guaranteed price for the 1918
wheat crop as high as $2.2S bushel
in one primary market and In varying
sums in all other primary markets ex-
cept four. The Chicago price was put
at $2.20.
Acting under authority Of the food
law, the president thus met the agita-
ton in congress for higher prices and
took steps to stimulate production and
prevent holding back the crop while
the agitation was going on.
The presidents proclamation states
that the action is to meet an emergen-
cy requiring the stimulation Of wheat
planting.
In a statement accompanying his
proclamation, the president said:
Under the food control act OF Aug.
10. 1917, it is my duty to announce a
guaranteed price for wheat Of the 1918
harvest 1 am, therefore. issuing a
proclamation setting the price at the
principal interior primary markets. 1t
Is continuation of the present prices
Of wheat with some adjustments aris-
ing from the designation of additional
terminal marketing points.
This guaranteed price assures the
farmer of a reasonable profit even II
the war should end within the year
and the large stores of grain in those
sections of the world that are now cut
off from transportation should again
come into competition with his pro-
ducts. To increase the price of wheat
above the present figure. or to agitate
any increase Of price. would have the
effect of very seriously hampering the
large operations Of the nation and of
the allies by causing the wheat Of last
years crop TO be withheld from the
market. It would. moreover, dislocate
all the present wage levels that have
been established after much anxious
discussion and would, therefore, create
an industrial unrest which would be
harmful to every industry in the
country"

JOYS Of the Poor.

The happiest people in the world
are the poor. Without attempting to
stine the ambition for self-advance-
ment, religion has always taught men
to be content with their lot, and
shown the folly Of relying upon posses
sions as the key to happiness. Our
materialistic day has worshlped fnan-
clal success, and by hearing this doc.
trine constantly preached, those who
are poor have been made to feel them
selves unfortunate and condemned to
miss the great Joys Of life.-Leslie's

Futures Pork Prices Fixed.

The Chicago Board Of Trade has
fixed maximum prices for future op-
tons OF pork products. With the re-
sumption Of business today May and
July mess pork can not sell over
s50.55 per barrel, the highest ever
known. May lard s26.e71a and July
s27.25, May short ribs $500 and July
s26.55.
This action was taken to prevent
undue increases in tho cost OF food
products and because of the state of
war which now exists and owing to
the desire to second the efforts Of the
government.
These maximum prices pertain only
to the futures and have no influence
upon cash product.
Cash product prices will be governed
entirely by the trend OF prices for live
hogs, and there Is no limit to where
they may go under the present ruling.
Hog producers need have no fear
about the price Of caah product, he
cause OF the enormous demand. and
the fixing Of maximum prices for fu-
ture options eliminates only the specu-
lation, which has been detrimental to
the nation at large.
There is no prospect. Of low hog
prices in the near future. and few
traders would be surprised II hogs
went to $40 or higher during the COM
ing sumper.
Naturally II hog prices work upward
the cash product will advance also
and the government in placing It's or
ders will pay accordingly.
Everything is being done to encour-
age the hog producer. because OF the
need OF increased production owing to
the seriousness Of the shortage Of fats
and he should not be disturbed by the
maximum prices for future deliveries
OF pork products-Drovers Journal.
