Chicago Tribune says: A large num-
Der OF grain men were here from all
sections yesterday to attend the Coun-
Gil OF Grain Exchanges meeting. Those
from the Southwest were bullish, while
Fasteners were bearish, A Kansas
City man said the shortage of feed in
the Southwest is taking everything and
Will for several months at prices higher
than here. One factor in the corn mar
ket that has attracted little attention
Is the fact that hog shippers are acting
under the permit system and have not
been able to ship as freely as they de-
sire. A feeder was here YESTERDAY
from Illinois who claimed that he had
fed his hogs for a month longer thar
he needed on account OF being unable
to secure permission to ship.
