General Realizing On Forecast

relieved in some sections, but the
market received good support around
81 cents from holders of bids ana
from local bulls and partly recovered
the loss in the later trading. The
detailed weekly weather and crop
report indicated that the crop needed
heavy rains in practically all parts of
the belt. with some deterioration in
Ohio and Kentucky. The report IN

ripened prematurely. Oats showed
fair strength and at the inside

CHEAP IMPORTED POTASH
HURTS AMERICANA PRODUCER
Imports Approximate Prewar Amounts DE-
creasing in Recent Months.
HERALD ECONOMIST)

HERALD ECONOMIST.)
This table shows how low our
potash consumption was during the
war. This led to serious results In
some districts where soils need
potash to return good yields Of GER
tain crops. In other cases the loss
of potash was not noticed and the
fact that more than necessary was
used before the war became ap-
parent.
Another outstanding fact is the
heavy imports of 1920 which with
the domestic supply brought our
available supply back to total OF
271,oo0 tons. nearly equal to the
heaviest imports in 1910 when 1t
was 227s.ooo tons. Imports have
been leading up during the fiscal
year 1921. close to the level Of 1920
until this spring when during March
and April imports Of Kainite
dropped behind. During the nine
months ending in March. 1921. the
total was $4,000 tons against 1884,
900 tons a year ago, but in April
the totals were 2o2,o76 for 1921 as
against 2o2,43o in 1920.
A new factor in the world potash
situation as a result of the war Is
that France now controls the Alsa-
tian mines and has provided for the
purchase Of the mines by the state
to be leased to opepators under gov
ernment supervision. 1t Is estima ted
that these mines contain 100000. 900
tons of pure potash. enough to pro-
vide all the French farmers need
and also to export sufficient for the
rest OF the world which imports
potash for 400 years.
The possibility that competition
for world trade between France and
Germany may result in even cheaper
potash for import to the United
States makes the problem of pro-
lection even more difficult for Con-
gress to decide. The American pro-
| ducers report their costs to have
been in 1890 s204 per unit against
an average cost OF sl.55 for the i'm
ported product This left a differ
ence of - cents per unit against
which they have asked for a duty
of so cents per unit. There is con-
siderable doubt as to whether such
a duty will protect in view of the
possibility of lower priced potash
from Germany or France. The price
OF this product is largely determined
by wages and transportation rates
on ships. Both of these are declin-
ing and no one knows where the
minimum lies. 1t is not unreason-
able to expect that European pro-
ducers will do all they can to sell
potash to the United States at a
price which the American consumer
cannot overlook In order to secure
a balance OF trade so needed to ad-
just international exchange and in
debtedness.
To establish an American pota sh
industry by protection under such
circumstances Is anything but a
simple problem for the tariff max
ers In Congress.

market was almost at a standstill
today. During the entire morning
only one sale was reported in
futures-a single lot of December
at SIS compared with 6.7s at the

RELIEF SOCIETY
Bazaar A TREMENO-
Gus SUCCESS

The Relief Society bazaar held In
the tabernacle last Friday was a tire.
mendous success Every phase OF
the afternoon and evening program
was carried out without a "hitch." as
only Relief Society sisters can do
things. The doors were opened at
noon and over 200 persons enjoyed
the delicious chicken dinner served
by the society.
The articles offered for sale at the
bazaar were many and were all readily
sold When the program started only
a few articles remained which were
disposed of.
In all. $3.50 90 was taken in. of this
amount 500 90 was expenses. Each
ward still has quilt to be ratified
off and It is thought that by the time
this is done that each ward will have
10000 to place In their treasury.
which will all be used to help the
needy of our town throughout the
winter.
The Relief Society workers deserve
lots Of credit for their untiring efforts
to make the bazar success.
The officers wish to thank. the
band; those who took part ON the
program; those who made and those
who bought the articles. and those
who worked so hard to prepare the
dinner.
The program at night proved to bt
very unique and pleasing. II wal
opened with concert prelude by the
band. The members of the society
I cleverly gave character sketch o.
