MIDDLE WEST
FARMERS BLUE
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Told Price Decline
Hard Blow.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Agricultural
industries in the Middle West are in a
depIorable condition, due to the decline
in prices, Asa z. Ramsey, chairman OF
the board OF directors Of the Federal Re
serve Bank at Kansas City, No, declared
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion at hearing on the application Of
the public utilities commission Of Kansas
for a reduction of interstate freight rates
on grain, grain products and hay.
Ramsey told the commission that
probably in no other section Of the coun-
try IS there such a variety Of sCricul-
tUral products grown as in the territory
embraced in the Tenth Federal Reserve
district. The chief factor, he said, in
bringing about the present condition OF
stagnation prevailing throughout this
great agricultural belt IS the fact that
the cost OF production and distribution
is greater than the price received for the
various commodities.
CHICAGO. Aug. ia S15,Ooo,0O0 bond
issue to enable farm banks to finance
the farmers with farm mortgages as col
lateral, formed the main topic Of dis
cussion before the American Association
OF Joint Stock Land Banks in session
here today. The issue. which is to be
distributed among the farm banks on
long time and to carry Ga per cent, has
been approved by the Federal Farm
Board. Bankers from all over the c0Un-
try are here for the session.

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 16.-Conditions in
the iron and steel trade as developed last
week confirm the optimistic sentiment of
most factors in the trade over recent
weeks. although there are some who
claim they will not believe n definite
turn has come until the cutting Of prices
ceases. Prices are still cut some, but in
a much smaller way than during previous
weeks.
The iron market has been featured by
the withdrawal of several sellers of fOun-
dry iron and others have but scant stocks
for sale. None of the merchant furnaces
seems ready to resume, so that with the
Pittsburgh stock Of foundry iron about
cleared UP this grade must be obtained
in other markets, where some low prices
are reported.
Moderate buying Of steel has continued
with further mild increases IN capacity
at work in both the Pittsburgh and
Youngstown districts. Statements made
that the increase IN buying is due to low
prices are disputed. The increase is due
entirely to further depletion Of stocks
Of steel in the hands Of iobbers and
manufactured wares In the hands Of
manufacturing consumers.
Cut price orders are only LOT QUICK
delivery. Every shipping order given
mills by buyers whether in the form OF
a strictly new order or In the form OF
a specification against q regular contract
requires very prompt shipment, showing
that the buyer must have the steel at
once to continue conducting business.
Most expert observers now figure that
the long decline in mill operations is
past the low mark.
While foundry iron is more scarce and
at least two furnace sellers have retired
from the market. prices are about un-
changed while both Bessemer and basic,
the steel making grades, are in plentiful
supply. Basic has definitely settled TO
