AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, July 29.-Locals declare
the hot weather mainly beneficial out
side the cotton states. The corn Wis
ible increase of $4,000 is another
proof of liberal visible supplies. Lo-
calls also expect a fair amount Of
grain will be delivered as July grains
in carloads. About fifteen cars OF
new oats reported at Chicago today.
The John Inglis corn remarks were
an early factor. He believes much
requires heat and crop size depends
on September weather. Central west
news shows the oats crop being cut
swiftly and put in shocks. Thresh-
ings are also above recent ideas.
Some selling of the August grains is
on the rule that holders must sell
before September LIST if no license.

LIBERTY LOAN IN APRIL.

Three billion dollars will be rails ID in
advance of the third Liberty loan, which
probably will be launched in April by
sale Of certificates of Indebtedness uater
a plan looking to systematic investment
by every bank in these short term secur-
itles.
A comparative scheme for preparing
the way for the third loan, announced
by Secretary McAdoo, provides for the
issue of $500, 000, 900 or more of these
certificates every two weeks, until the
total runs to S., OO0 600, 900 by the middle
of March. Every national bank, State
bank and trust company is asked to set
aside each week about one per cent of it's
gross resources for investment in the
certificates
The first of the $500, 600, 900 certificates
issued under this plan has been announc-
ed. They will bear per cent, the same
rate as other recent issues, will be dated
February 9Th and will mature May 9th.
Subscription books are to close February
18th. The certificates of this and other
future issues will be received eventually
in payments of Liberty loan receipts
Certificate issues in the past have been
absorbed largely by the bigger banks.
Secretary McAdoo hopes to distribte this
burden more equally over the whole finan-
cial fabric of the country.
The huge funds thus gathered to gov
eminent account will not pile up in the
treasury, but will remain largely in
! banks designated as government deposit
! ories, subject to draft by the treasury.

SNOW.

One of the well known scalers who is
working in this county estimates that
there is in the woods, four and half feet
of snow, while in many places the drifts
are six to eight feet high, blocking log
ging roads which sometimes necessitates
the entire crew turning out to break out
the roads. Most of the large operators
are using this year log-haulers and as
these require good substantial roads it
makes the work doubly hard. With half
the winter yet to come the prospect is
not the brightest to look forward to.
Help is scarce and wages high and a crew
getting only half of the output ordinarily
obtained owing to the difficulty of getting
around in the woods. 1t is estimated
that the cut in northern Maine will be
from Is to 80 per cent less than in normal
years.
Labor is scarce and most of the woods
men are as Independent as the greatest
plutocrat, one case is cited where man
had worked for 81 days and cashed in his
time check for $11O and then lacked his
job as he had enough to keep him going
without work for few weeks. -Houlton

Fertilizer Shipments from Searsport Plants.

Fert1Izer onlPments from oearSPort FIantS.
For the last two weeks things have
been moving freely at the two fertilizer
plants-the A. A. C. and the Hubbard, at
Searsport. For a time business was
much delayed by the impossibility of OBJ
tanning cars to move the product, but
plenty of box cars are now available and
with full crews the two plants are able to
send out about 60 cars week. This may
seem smaller average than formerly,
but the larger cars now being used brings
the tonnage up to over 1900 tons per
week. Many carloads of material are on
the way. Sch. William Bisbee with a
load for the Hubbard plant which came
in to Searsport in January, will probably
be the last fertilizer vessel to unlo ad
there for the Hubbard Co. this season.
The boarding house for the employees of
the Hubbard plant, which was closed for
time, has been reopened.
