Prices have advanced O cents for May in

those who have been active in the bear side
forget that the price declined 90 cents from
the high point because of the. big crop,
yet they want to sell it still lower. Every
thing else is, higher with no immediate
prospects of a decline. and why should
corn be expected to decline under such
conditions. Western Iowa has great deal
of corn, and farmers are selling more

BRINGS DROP
IN CORN PRICE
Liquidating Sales by Holders Re-
suits in Decided Weakness
in Quotations.

Chicago, Sept 4.-Liquidating
sales by holders brought about de-
cided weakness today in the corn
market. The September delivery
was especially affected. December
and May, however, dropped to low
est figures yet for those months
this season. Bearish sentiment
ontinued to be based chiefly on the
drive against the high cost of nee
essaries. Opening prices which
ranged from &c to SAC lower with
September 1919 to 1.64, and De-
cember 1909 to 1908 were fol-
lowed by a moderate rally for Sep
TENDER, but by additional declines
in the latter months
Subsequently, predictions that
receipts here would remain liberal
for several weeks tended to pre-
vent any lasting upturns in prices
The close was heavy, 21ac TO CSC
net lower, with September $1.6015
to $160A and December $12S5s to
s12S&
Oats sympathized with the weak
ness of corn. After opening I'M
changed to &c lower, including De-
cember at 71%4 C to 717sc, the mar
ket continued to sag.
Provisions were depressed by the
break in the corn market. Selling,

EATING APPLES
AND PEARS ARE
EASIER TO Get
Expected in Rock Island
Next Week.

Jonathan apples, the first real
eating apples on the markets of
Rock island, are expected in next
week, while eating pears are just
starting to make their appearance.
No eating apples grown locally
are available now. The Jonathans
are to be shipped in from southern
Illinois and Missouri, coming ses-
pecially from Calhoun county. Illi-
nois. Prices have not been set,
but 1t is inevitable that the price
will be slightly higher than last
year. Jonathans probably will sell
for 1917 cents a pound, whereas
they sold for eight cents per pound
last year. They cost retailers $40
per barrel.
Western crabs are here and sell
for 10 and II cents a pound This
price is practically the same as in
other years.
First Pears Due To-day.
, Howell pears we're expected in
today by one retail grocer, while
the Bartlett pears, said to be one
of the best qualities grown. will be
in next week The Howell variety
let's probably will hit the $3.50 a
bushel mark. New York pears are
not to be in Rock Island until the
last of September.
Peaches are % cents cheaper per
bushel today than a week ago.
They are selling at 1925 now in
stead OF the old price Of $3.50.
Catalogues remain about the
same. Museatine melons still sell
at 10 and 1914 cents. as do the
homegrown melons. There is
variety of small melons which are
being sold by some retailers at
cents apiece.
Cantaloupes are in their prime
now. The Fruitland. Iowa. melons
are almost gone. but those grown
here are coming in fine.
More blue grapes are coming in
from New York. The crop here is
not as plentiful as in years be-
fore. but by the middle of this
month the homegrown grapes will
be much more plentiful. They are
now selling at 10 cents a pound
and in big lots at 8 cents per
pound.
Sweet Corn Below Par.
Something happened to the crop
of sweet corn grown around here
this year and the yields brought in
by farmers don't equal those of
other years The crop is much
smaller. This probably is the cause
for the high cost of corn this late
in the season. Corn is now selling
for % cents a dozen and has for
some weeks. A year ago today
corn could be had for Is and 20
cents per dozen.
Butter probably will be one-half
cent more by the first OF next week.
Retailers pay 81 cents per pound
and sell the creamery at So cents
per pound.

Chicago. Sept. 4.-Should the
gains continue their rally until
1890 or IL a, m. further selling on
the bulge will apparently be due.
Chicago Daily News prints Berlin
report showing Germany will re-
quire large food imports but such
statistics have little value today.
German food deficiencies will be
so 900 900 wheat. about 125, 000,0 900
barley and 1S9.O00,000 oats. These
deficiencies compare with the pre-
war standard and are valueless.
Cash corn was two to nine cents
lower. Oats bulls still cling to the
idea that oats are cheap. Others
point out that IS cent oats will be
at a high price if December corn
is to sell 120. St. Louis is packed
with wheat and is shipping one mil
liam to Chicago. Provision men
say hogs must drop or provisions
advance as they are out of line.
There is an increase in local bulls
who believe the grain decline war
rants purchases but the trouble is
any return to a bull market will
not cure current evils.
Grain Opinions.
Thomson McKinnon-The corn
market is entitled to a substantial
reaction.
characterization should be ex-
ercised in selling corn on the
breaks and the cash demand and
provisions prices should be
watched
Lamson-Fundamental facts re-
main as bearish as ever.
Logan-Notwithsta there is
nothing general surrounding of the
market to stimulate purchases con-
fidence, we believe the market is
entitled to some further recovery.
B. F. & Co.-There was a better
shipping demand for corn and good
many inquiries from the east with
fair sales.
Harris Winthrop-There was
some covering of shorts by opera
tors who wished to provide against
possible frost scares.
Hulburd Warren-Believe it will
be time enough to take a stand on
the bull side of the distant futures.
