Chicago. Aug. 3O.-The Kansas
report on corn was the bullish fac
tor in the grain list yesterday. 1t
was a surprise, showing a loss for
the month of around $4,000, 900
bushels and reducing the estimate
to slightly over 56.000,0 900 for the
state. Prices perhaps were made
easier than ordinarily 10 advance
because OF the oversold condition
of the market as a result of the re-
cent break. There is, however, 3
pretty general conviction that a
maintained advance can hardly be
expected at this time in food val
ues in the face Of the present cam
paign against the high cost OF liv-
ing with the headlines Of the press
teeming with the accusations of
profteering in many directions.
Hog products acted in sympathy
with grains and there was a good
rebound from bottom under the in
f1ueRce Of short covering and some
the recent drastic break in values
both in the pit and at the yards.
There is considerable manufactur-
ing loss between the hog and the
finished product, and packers are
reluctant to buy hogs except at
their own figures. Because of the
campaign against high prices a
general feeling that living costs
should be reduced it will likely
prove difficult to attract sufficient
outside buying power to maintain
an advance in provisions market.
It is thought thai the packers who
are carrying the current supply OF
cash product have resigned. them
selves to accept big loss. but are
determined TO avoid being caught
with hip-Froduct in the future, and
will therefore make every effort to
depress hog values. September and
cash corn came closer together
yesterday than for some time, the
spread at the close being only 6
cents against Is cents recently.
No. 2 mixed closed at 1875. Sam
pie values were 1 to cents lower.
Country offerings of oats showed
no signs of increasing, but there
was also a light inquiry for the
cash grain from eastern exports.
Sample values were unchanged to
1c lower.
Grain opened lower on scattered
liquidation in September. Some
selling now.
Grain Opinions.
Harris Winthrop: Weather con-
ditions more favorable with bene-
fetal rains in southwest.
Clement Curtiss: With the stock
yards disposed to hold prices, the
corn should have a further ad-
vance.
Hurlburd Warren: In our opin-
ion distant futures are selling at
prices which should prove low
enough until some signs OF a rad
icaI break in cash prices appears.
Ware & Leland: Some further
upturn in corn is not unlikely.
Bennett: Corn market is a trad
ing affair with purchases on sharp
breaks preferable

VALUE OF DRAFT
HORSE WILL BE
SHOWN IN TESTS

There will be two demonstra-
tions of the multiple horse hitch,
illustrating and emphasizing the
economy of using draft horses for
farm work, on Monday and Tues
day of next week.
On Monday Rock Island and
Mercer county farmers will gather
at the r. P. Wait farm, one mile
south and one mile east of Rey-
nolds at 10 o'clock in the morning,
where under the direction of
County Agents P. S. Richey of the
association and the Palmer r. Ed
gerton of the Rock Island County
Farm bureau. the multiple horse
hitch demonstration will be given.
Tuesday, in cooperation with Ad-
visor J. H. Minor of Henderson
county, another meeting will be
held five miles south of Seaton.
Purpose of the two meetings. is to
illustrate methods of conserVfng
horse power and doubling and in
creasing efficiency of man power.
At the Wait farm Wayne Dinsmore,
secretary of the Percheron society
of America, will speak.
According to statistics compiled
by the department of farm organi-
cation and management of the uni
versity of Illinois and verified by
competent authorities in Mime
sofa, good draft horses, contrary to
the wide-spreading belief in favor
of the modern tractor, furnish the
most efficient and most economical
source of power for any farm. This
has been found to be true on farms
under 260 acres entirely, while on
larger tracts, it has been found that
rs per cent of the work would still
be most efficiently and econom-
ically done by horses.
Many advantages Of the draft
horse over the tractor are pointed
out. Horses reproduce, and count
ing feed and labor, furnish a much
cheaper means of power. After sew
eral years of usage the draft horse
can still be disposed of for as much
and more than original cost This
is not true of the machine, which
in value and which has
an original price OF many times
that of horses.
The multiple hitch, invented by

OF OATS
And HAY DOWN
Crops Little Cheaper in This LO-
cality, But Considerably
Higher in Chicago.

Due to the big supply in oats and
hay, producers have let down on
the price. Yesterday oats sold at
rs cents a bushel, 8 cents cheaper
than it has for the last several
weeks. Hay dropped from $2S q
ton to $25 per ton.
Being after harvesting time, a
plentiful supply is ON hand. Very
little oats, hay, corn or wheat is
shipped into this locality. The
crops this year are esual to that
of any other year, with the excep-
ton of oats which is both lighter
in weight and in the amount
yielded per acre. There is an ap-
proximaue decrease OF 25 per cent
in the amount of oats yielded from
each acre.
The price is about the same
throughout the seasons in this vi
cinity, but in Chicago the price IS
higher than here.
