months prices and the character Of
the demand have varied little. The
tone is one of quiet with the trade
awaiting various auction sales sched-
uled for .he near future. Manufac-
turers believe that prices have passed
their peak and therefore find little
incentive to buy. Western growers
are seeking an embargo on the i'm
portation of raw wool and 20 per
cent reduction in duty on imported
woolen manufacturers through meas
ures introduced in the Senate by SEN
atOr King Of Utah. Growers resent
the large importations of British wool
now projected, and argue that the
price of raw wool has no connection
with the price of clothing, which is
needlessly high.

STOCKS

Uncertainties of the Industrial and
political situation have made the
trend Of prices difficult to forecast
and have inspired caution among
brokers, who looked upon the recent
rise to levels above the extreme high
levels Of 1915 as i'll supported. Dur
most of it's August and September
losses. Professional dealings bulk
large, but public participation has in
creased. Brisk demand and active
trading with large total sales have
distinguished many sessions. Large
buyers are holding firmly in fear of
losing profits to the government by
liquidation. The Supreme Court deci-
sion on the taxability of stock divi-
dends has been awaited eagerly,
many critics foretelling a sudden up
ward movement If the decision were
favorable to stockholders. In this
case wholesale distribution of ac-
cumulated profits would doubtless be-
gin.
Money has been steady around six
per cent at times, despite an immense
volume of brokers' loans estimated at
81, 500, ,OOO, O,OO0-a gain of 5000, O,OO0,-
600 since August. Financiers de-
bated the necessity Of invoking bank
restrictions to check the speculative
movement. The industrial confer
ence has at no time entered seriously
into market calculations. Trade ad-
vices have been cheering in the main,
but the outlook seems to be for the
irregular price list.

AGRICULTURAL REVIEW
WAGES OF FARM LABOR CONSTITUTE PROBLEM PRO
FIT = SHARING SUGGESTED = CANADIAN FOOD En-
PORTS INCREASE SEPTEMBER.
business Feature Service.)
(Business Feature Service. !

Business Feature Service.)
The wages of farm labor consti-
tute a problem which is giving the
farm owners much anxiety. With
the prices of foodstuffs declining,
the demand of corn cutters for $500
and $500 day seems like gro
tesque bit of humor. "Thirty-eight
years ago." recalls one attorney,
"seven out of ten farmers in the re-
gion where 1 lived as a boy employ
ed farm hand the year round,
while today not single farmer
keeps permanent help. Whereas in
1880 SIS per cent of the population
was rural, the percentage today has
dwindled to 35 or 40 per cent"
Farm labor has gone to the cities
where il draws wages with which
the farmer cannot compete.
The wages of farm labor have de-
clined since the armistice, says one
report, but recent evidence puts this
in doubt. No very material decline
seems possible until wages in other
industries decline. Owing to the
competition between farm and fac
tory, in which the latter fares best,
it is questionable whether farm
wages will even begin to approXi-
mate their former level. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that wages for Italian labor, which
before the war averaged only S57
per year with perquisites, such as
living accommodation. have increased
to 1923 and perquisities, with the
eight-hOur day.
Despite unfavorable rates of eX-
change with many foreign countries,
similar 0 those WHICH confront the
United States, Canadian exports of
foodstuffs increased during Septem-
ber over August. They suggest the
present and future importance OF
the Dominion as a grower and ex-
porter of agricultural products. The
United States has long been great
exporter of raw materials, conspicu.

THE MARKET TREND

markets are hit hard by the declining
hog markets. The crop of pigs is es-
timated normal The cattle grower

kets have prevailed. Most anything
that resembles beef is in demand.
Corn-fed cattle have met active in
quiry. Heavy cattle runs have moved
well through the livestock markets.
A scarcity of matured cattle is no
ticeable. Feeders have been good
patrons Of the sheep house and their
support has helped prices in the NUT

well received at times. The better

GRAIN

Business in the grain markets has
been dull and traders "lOok before
they leap" Some consider the bear
position precarious one, while 9TH
ers are radically bearish. Sentiment
has, to great extent, controlled the
corn market, and this factor has been
very uncertain, the bulk of the princi-
pals switching over from the bull to
the bear side and visa versa. The
weather is naturally of utmost inter-
est. Whether farmers will sell their
supplies willingly and quickly re-
mains a problem. Many apparently
are playing the market" with the
hope of getting better prices. Gov
ernment action in giving wheat pref
erence over other grains as to ship
ping has tended to strengthen the
market, as has the establishment
of the individual permit system in
moving grain to several Of the prin-
cipal grain centers. Oats have fol-
lowed the major grain in most re-
spects. With barley continuing in
the back row, rye traders have kept
a watchful eye out for any signs Of
export business.

Repri1nand Governor
Hall Of Nebraska for
Theft Of Cigarets

a prisoner before Judge Troup in

with stealing cigarets from whole

Governor pleaded guilty and after

to go and try to be good.
I Governor is not and never has

state. He is a colored youth of
IA years and lives at 2118 Burdette
street.
With him was Johnnie Duncan,
whose last trip to juvenile court
was just last Saturday when he

Johnnie held up a very dirty
right hand and looked extremely
solemn. His mother was present
and said he could go to her sisters
farm. But the court would take no
more chances on leaving Johnnie
loose for a day in the city. Mrs.
Duncan was sent to buy the tickets
and when she returned she and
Johnnie were allowed to go to the
