TODAY'S- MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Aug. 25.-CORN-Corn started
under the weight OF an accumulation of
over night selling orders and prices were
easier at the start Covering trades soon
afterward carried figures above Saturdays
closing point. The opening was &c to 1c
lower with September at $1.7S to S1.TSla
and December at $1401s to S1-41. Sentiment
was generally bearish and the early bulge
was followed by n reaction on moderate
selling which sent figures fractionally be-
low the opening prices.
Subsequently the corn market rallied
when local traders found themselves over
sold and faced light offerings when they
sought to hwy. The close was strong at
nearly top figures for the day, prices be-
ing 1asc to 2Ac net higher. with September
at 81. soA to S1-s0A and December at
OATS-Oats moved with corn with an
easy start, quickly followed by bulge
and later reaction which Bagged below
the opening point. The fluctuations were
in narrower limits than in the prior grain
and trading was within very moderate i'm
it's. Opening prices were unchanged to sc
lower with September at 71Ac and Decem-
Der at 74Ac to 74%c
PROVISIONS-Provisi trade was dull,
prices being 15c to SOC lower in line with
lower live hog prices.
Later in the session provision prices ad-
vanced somewhat in sympathy with corn.
Closing prices were from &c net lower to
2jc net higher.

Of living"
Profits Two Cents on Dollar?
Elemental facts in the meat bust
ness" Mr.. Weld said. proved the
packers Profit on meat transactions
was about 2 cents on dollar.
The Kenyon bill must either inter-
fere with the farmers end of meat
production or with the packers part
of the business IL designed to affect
the right cost Of living" he said. IF
the farmer is hit, he will cut down
stock prices. If the packer is hit and
his business crippled, the result will
be higher manufacturing costs and
these, too, will have to be passed on"
Says CoIvcr Exaggerated.
Mr.. Weld paid his respects to Com
missioner Colver of the trade commits
sion, a previous witness, remarking
were exaggerated and inaccurate. {"
Swift s. Company owned no retail
stores in England, Mr.. Weld said, and
he had been unable to find that any
other American packer did so.
MIR. Colver came in here and told
you gentlemen that the five large
packers controlled over rs per cent
of the business in hides" he con-
tinued. They handle less than so per
cent
He told you the packers handled
4 700 commodities. Let me reveal to
/ YOU some of the processes by which
he reached this figure. He mentioned
/ as separate items butterine, oleo, and
: oleomargarine. All three are the
same. He took twenty-three cuts of
beef, and listed them as twenty-three
items. He gave lis items as list of
by-products of cattle dressing. He
mentioned thirty-seven items of SAT-
sage.
Denies No Capital Added.
"Mr. Colver made the flat state
ment that packers have not put any
new capital into the business from
| outside sources since 1904. Swift and
/ Co, alone has added $S5, 900, 900 new
! cash capital from sales of shares. Mr..
/ Colver persistently ignored the number
Of packing concerns in business in this
country. Some 235 concerns are en-
gagged in interstate business besides the
big packers and, moreover, several
hundred concerns do a big local and
! intrastate business.
IF the Kenyon bill is passed the
| splendid and elaborate service given
the country at large by the big packers
will be interfered with in a way that
will hurt everybody concerned-pro-
- ducers, packers and consumers"

TOUR WAITS ON SENATE
President Hopes To Make Campaign
When Senate Gets Treaty.


Washington, Aug. 25.-Definite an
nouncement concerning President VIII
sons proposed tour of the country to-
day was awaiting further treaty de-
velopments in the senate.
The president. it is known, believes
that strategical time for starting his
tour will be when the treaty is re-
ported to the senate by the foreign re-
lations committee
This would give him a chance to an
swer arguments of his opponents as
they were advanced in daily debate in
the senate and would also lessen the
likelihood of an opposition speaking
tour. since all senators would be need
ed in Washington for a possible vote
on some features of the treaty battle.
Reporting of the treaty to the SEN
ate is now definitely in sight for the
mittee may act on ii early in Septem-
Der or even sooner

Chicago, Aug. 25.-fhe Tribune: GRAIN:
Noticeable feature was the indisposition on
the part of buyers to take hold and con-
sentative people expressed a belief that
while sentiment was too radically bearish
for the real condition of the market TO
make it possible for bears to continue to
depress prices and a rally might result
from overselling. the situation did not
favor buyers. Holders of old corn in the
country are showing more disposition to
sell. fearing that new Texas corn will
come into competition with the old corn
of the north, and there were increased
offerings to arrive, with less demand on
part of cash interests. Heavy selling Of
oats Saturday was led largely by several
of the local professionals, who picked out
the weak spots TO do most of their trading.
The oat crop of the three western Canad-
ian provinces this year is 222, 000,0 900 bush
els or about the same as last year. H. b.
Jackson. vice president OF the U. S. GNin
corporation says: All dealers in wheat,
whether large or small, must have a license
from the United States wheat director. This
covers all transactions in wheat, whether
for human consumption or not.
