said to have been the cause for the

gan wants to buy Kansas alfalfa.
Ralph Snyder, president of Kansas
State Farm Bureau, has received a
letter from that state inquiring if
Kansas has hay to ship out. The
Kansas State Farm Bureau has taken
the matter up and will find out how
much alfalfa in the state is ready for
shipment, or will be available by fall.
The bureau will act as an agent in
bringing the buyer and seller in touch
with one another, thus eliminating the
middlemen, and reducing the cost to
the buyers. Tt is expected the amount
of hay for sale will be reduced on ac-
count of the shortage of bale ties

The technique ol market operations,

and in some instances caused net gains
for the day. The average price Of
thirty representative industrial stocks
crept up to 1890, compared with 1888
the previous day. and the average for
twenty rails increased from 70.30 to
1865.
In volume of sales the market was
nearly as broad as on Tuesday, when
transactions were the most numerous
in weeks. But. whereas on the
previous day, nearly all securities sold
at the lowest levels of the day, the
final quotations yesterday approached
the highest
In the grain markets. similar spccu-
'atve phenomena were manifest, and
the sharp declines Of carrier days were
followed hy rallies. which originated
both from short covering and from
buying induced by low quotations. The
prccipltate drop in wheat prices YES
'erday brought the British commits
sion into the market as buyer for
the first time in months, and rally
varying from = TO 8 cents bushcl
took place. In response, corn quota
tlons, which tended lower at the opeh-
ing, moved upward from q to / cent to
y cents a bushel Despite the erratl,
character of the fluctuations in the
cotton market, short covering brought

European exchanges also went further
yesterday.

and demand in this basic industry.
The ebb and fov OF security quota

American Sugar Extra Omitted

Omission Yesterday of the extra div
ldend of three quarters Of per cent
which the American Sugar Refining
Company has been paying quarterly
since 1918 caused no stir in stock mar
ket circles, as the action of the board
had been generally expected Along
with the rest of the industrial list the
stock had another sinking spell in the
morning trading and got down to a
new low for the year of 81 T. Before
the close, however, there was recov-
cry to SO, where a fractional ret ad-
vance was recorded. The omission OF
the extra disbursement, American
Sugar directors said, was due to the
precipitate drop that has taken place

Money Strain Less


With the exception Of the dav after
election, yesterday was the first dav
that call money did not close at 10 per
cent since October % The rate, after
renewing at 8 per cent. went later TO
10 per cent, and, according to the Off
cial Stock Exchange records. closed al
9 per cent. Several brokers, however.
reported that loans were offered at 8
per cent at the close. After the severe
strain of the last two weeks, the breaS
was met with a sigh of relief by the
brokerage community and by the great
army of spectators who buy stocks on
margin. In the opinion Of bankers.
however, there wa nothing to indicsta
that the call money rate Will work
much lower for several weeks yet, as
the demand for money to move the
crops is still running heavy.
