COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. e.-There was
further liquidation of commission
house long lines in the market for
coffee cultures here today. Buyers
on recent advances have evidently
been disappointed by the failure of
Rio exchange to hold its improve
r1ent, and there was nothing in the
trade news of this. morning to
stimulate fresh buying. This left
the market sensitive to compara-
lively small selling orders and the
liqsidation became somewhat more
active as prices eased on. The
opening showed a decline of to 8
points and active months sold some
% to 81 points net lower during
the early afternoon. This carried
December contracts Off to 6.73, COM
pared with 7.25, the high point OF
last week. There vas some cover
ing on this decline, but the tone of
the market was unsettled. owing TO
the easier ruling of Rio exchange
and the evident Willingness of in
terror BRAZILIAN holders to sell at
prevailing milreis quotations.
The official cables quoted the dol.
lar buying rate at s, 500 or 100
reis higher, making an advance Of
800 reis as compared with last Fri
days quotation. There was a fur
ther decline of 9-32d in the rate of
Rio exchange on London, which has
again fallen below Sd, and while
the early cable reported Rio un-
changed to 125 reis higher 100 reis
of the advance was lost.and Santos
was unchanged to 200 reis lower.
Except for liquidation of long
accounts selling was probably re-
stricted by the fact that this is the
season for crop scares. but today's
weather advices from Brazil showed
no cause for anxiety. There was
rain in one district, hut the weather
was fine over the other four dis
tricts of San Paulo. and minimum
temperatures ranged from 46 to 81
degrees. Rio cleared 1900 bags for
New Orleans and Santos 21.4o0 for
New York. Receipts at the two
Brazilian ports were $4,000 bags

From American rarlnlNS.
In spite of heavy tpsses suffered on

farmers are this year proceeding much
as usual. There will probably bv no.
very great reduction in the acreages
planted to the leading crops except per
haps in the case of certain crops like
tobacco and cotton, which are grown in
more or less restricted areas. The
northwest will probably raise less rye
and spring wheat. and in New York

potatoes and other crops of a sectionally
predominating nature will be grown.

DAKOTA CORN INCREASES
in QUALITY AND QUANTITY

Pierre, S. D., April Especially
The figures compiled by the state
immigration department indicate that
South Dakota is not only increasing
it's corn production, but is also in
creasing the character and quality
of the crop raised. IN 1890 the state
stood 22rd in acreage and 25th in
production OF corn In 1920 the stand
lrg in acreage was 18th and the
standing in production 10th. This
showing not only indicates that the
state is pushing toward the front as
producer of corn, but that the corn
growers are breeding up" their crop
j and obtaining larger amount of
production per acre than they did in
the early days of statehood when the
question as to whether or not South
Dakota was IL the corn belt was a
disputed one.

MAKE WATERTOWN
A POTATO CE NTE R
Growers Associations of South
Dakota Will Make That
Town a Big Shipping
Point.

Watertown, S. D., April Iva
tertoWn is destined to become the
central marketing and shipping point
for the bulk of South Dakota's potato
crop if plans for the establishment of
a South Dakota Potato Growers OK
change, as outlined at a big meeting
of potato growers here, are carried
through The exchange will have
charge of the marketing of the en-
tire crop of all local potato growers
associations which are members OF
the association.
The organization of the exchange
was the outgrowth of plans launched
at the last state convention of the
South Dakota Potato Growers Asso-
citation in Watertown. At that time a
committee to devise better means
Of marketing the states crop was
named and the potato exchange is the
recommendation of the committee.
temporary organization was per-
fected here and temporary directors
and officers elected pending the rati-
ficatien Of the constitution and by
laws by the local units The ex-
change will perfect a permanent or
ganization later and work out more
details of how the marketing of the
crop will be handled.
The plan as outlined Is to make the
state exchange here the marketing
agency for the entire state. The po-
tato growers wishing to take advan-
tage Of the exchange marketing bene-
fits will affiliate with their local po-
tato growers association, which will
then take out a membership in the
state exchange.
The local association will represent
the state association among the indi-
vidual growers. while Rthe state ex-
change will represent the interests of
the growers outside of the state, mar
keting as direct as possible to the
consumers and eliminating handling
by the commission houses.
