GRAIN MARKETS
More Rural Bank Failures
Give Wheat Early Blow,
But Some Recovery Later

CHICAGO. Nov. 3O.-Rural bank
failures put bulls at a disadvantage
today in the wheat market. Besides,
there was considerable disposition TO
regard the advance during the last few
days as sufficient for the time being
On the other hand cash houses were
moderate buyers of the December de-
livery. Opening prices, which ranged
from yesterdays finish to INC lower,
March s1.62 to $1.63, were followed by
brief rallies and then by setbacks all
around.
Scarcity of red winter wheat in all
markets was q Strengthening factor
later, together with meagerness of
country offerings and continued export
demand Notice of the failure of a
Seattle grain firm, however, led to re-
newed weakness after midday. Prices
closed unsettled at the same as yester-
days finish to &c lower, with December
$1,5oh.
Corn sympathized with wheat weak
neas. After opening lac lower to &c
higher, including May at 70 to 731Ac,
the market hardened a little, but then
underwent a general sag.
In the later dealings the market con-
tinued to be swayed by wheat. Prices
closed heavy u to I've net lower with
May 72% to 72%c.
Oats were easier like other grain,
starting X to Nc down, May 49b to
40 lac, and descending a trifle more.
Higher quotations on hogs gave firm
ness to provisions.

DONNELLY CREAMERY
GETS TOP OF MARKET
And Also a Strong Letter Of Com
mendation From Commission
House
House

The following letter of commenda-
ton, which is self-explanatory, was
recently received by o. c. Gullick-
son, buttermaker for the Donnelly
Cooperative Creamery Association:
st. Peter, Mimi, Feb. %, 1920.
Mr.. o. c. Gullickson,
Donnelly, Mimi.
Dear Sir:
I must drop you few lines and
congratulate you on the splendid
work you are doing at Donnelly and
the constantly improving quality of
your butter. The first few shipments
showed considerable old cream flaw
ors, no doubt due to the fact that
your patrons were holding their
cream too long before delivery, but
this was to be expected at the start
and especially in a community where
the farmers are used to shipping or
selling their cream to cream stations.
However, I am much pleased to note
a constant Improvement in the quail
ity, proving that you are getting bet
ments we have sold at the very top
market quotations, which is certain
1y going some" and prove that you
are getting results quicker than ex-
pected. If you can keep up this stan
dard of quality, when it gets warm
weather, which I know you can if
the patrons will bring you good,
sweet cream, then the success of the
Donnelly creamery is already an as
sured fact.
Thanking you for this splendid
showing and hoping for a continual
ton of the same swell as the future
success of the Donnelly creamery, I
beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
The Fox River Butter Co.,

However, his supporters learned that the President was bound to nominate two Republicans and gave up the eff fo-t. At the present time Martin J. GiHen, formerly executive secretary to Chairman Payne, is a serious can didate for the honor of representing the Middle Western states. How ever, it is said that he is Democrat, and this prec1udeS his appointment at this time.
 If the new Jones bill becomes a law there will be seven on the Ship ping Board. The Pacific Coast and the Atlantic Seaboard are to have two representatives, while the Great Lakes district, the South and the in terior are to have a seat on the Board. Incidentally, the salary paid to each commissioner is to be $12, 900 per annum, which is expected to make a place on the Board a bit more at tractive.
 It is understood that three Pacific Coast men are being given serious consideration for appointment to the Board, and that ex-Representative William Humphries has the inside track at the present time. However, it would not be surprising to see President Wilson send forth the nom

advice of Chairman William s. Ben son, and Secretary to the President Joseph Tumulty. It is anticipated that the two new members will be nominated in April.
 The Board is composed of five members, including the chairman. When the act was originally framed it provided that the New England sec ton should have one representative, while the South, Central Western states, and the Pacific Coast should have one native son on the Board. Both Chairman Payne and Hurley came from the Middle West. How ever, Admiral Benson is from the South, having been born in Georgia, and this section which has been with out a representative on the Board for several months, is now considered as provided for on this score.
 The Pacific Coast and Middle West are now lacking in representation Commissioner Donald is from New York and a Republican, Commfs sioner Raymond B. Stevens is a Dem- ocrat from New Hampshire, while Commissioner Thomas A. Scott Is from New London, Conn.,, and Re- publican.
 Some time ago in Washington a boom was on for Admiral McGowan.
