Daily Stock Letter.


UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today said:
Stocks advanced sufficiently today
to encourage the proponents Of higher
prices and to cause further belated
short covering by those who have been
reluctant to admit that the bear side
has been over done.
The whole market reached it's best
prices in mid-afternoon, at which time
such properties as General Motors,
Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin and the
steel and tobacco stocks showed the
largest gains. Railroad stocks were
firm but there was no special buying
of these shares. The extent of the adj
vance necessarily invited, considerable
profit taking and quotations eased off
from their best figures In the last
hour.

: Nation Il The World That

thing shout Agriculture.

Chicago, Sept. S0.-American far
:mers r struggling to get away
from being 500 farmers on 800
land" and realize they must be $500
farmers on $500 land, John A. Ca.
vanagh, vice president Of the Des
Moines (Ia.) National Bank, told the
members Of the Farm Mortgage Bank
ers Association Of America at their
recent convention here.
While the increase in the price Of
farm lands for the nation has been
15 to 80 per cent in the last year, he
said the advance in the Middle West
has been from so to 100 per cent and,
while he believed the price Of farm
products would decline within the
next few years, he predicted no drop
in the price Of farm land for the next
decade.
with every farm bringing the price
now being paid for it, we. are going
to learn everything that every nation
Gan teach u.s." MI. Cavanagh said.
e'There is not q nation in the world
that cannot teach America something
about farming and we have already
begun to learn"
Farming will continue to provide
2 reasonable return on both capital
and labor invested, he thought.
farming will be conducted more
scientifically than, ever before, and
q new type Of intensive farmer will
result from the decrease in the value
of farm products and the increase in
the value in farm land" was his pre-
diction.
He expects the abnormal European
demand for American farm products
to end within two years, pointing out
that SURPRISES of food staples have
been discovered where famine condi-
lions were supposed to exist. With
the lessened foreign demand, he
thought would come a decline in prices
for American farm products.
