CORN PRICES SOAR
TO new LEVELS
Crop 800 Million Bushels
Short of Last Year-BuIk
Still Held by Farmers.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 16.-Corn mar
keting conditions unprecedented at
any time in the last six years are
stirring up the liveliest sort Of inter-
est among grain traders here. The
outstanding feature attracting atten-
ton is that within about sixty days
the value Of corn has scared II cents
bushel at a time when the bulk OF
the crop still is in producers hands.
What this situation means to the
farming community and to the busi-
ness relations Of the country at large
was authoritatively discussed In
statement Issued today by B. w. Snow
Of Bartlett-Frazier Company. former
assistant secretary OF agriculture at
Washington. Mr.. Snow said:
THE advance in corn Is not specula-
tive in character, but is the result
of growing appreciation in market
centers Of the country situation. The
crop Is some 500. 100000 bushels short
OF last year. and the stocks OF old
corn carried over are about 100.000.0O0
that the available supply for the com
ing year Is fully 400,000.0o0 bushels
smaller than was the case the past
year. The surplus of corn accumulat-
ed as result of war. and We are once
again on basis of current supply
and demand.
THE present price movement has
had its origin in the country. with
the farmer as the price-making fac
tor. The country set the pace by
paying more for corn for feeding
purposes, in transactions between
farmers. than 1t commanded in ter
minal markets. Ordinarily Iowa corn
Is tributary. to the Chicago market.
but this year western, southwestern
and local feeder demand has created
a price that continues above a
Chicago parity. California yesterday
paid Sc cents a bushel for corn in
Omaha, a price fully I cents to 8
cents above Chicago's relative quo
tations- Under these conditions there
is no material accumulation of corn
stocks at terminal markets. and the
ordinary commercial demand has to
be satisfied with current receipts.
"The spread between prices Of thin
cattle and fatted stock in the stock
yards shows an unusual profit to
farmers from feeding operations.
while hog prices are such as to net
probably a dollar a bushel for corn
marketed in that form. Corn has
already advanced II cents a bushel
or more, and at time when the
crop Is still In producers hands. SO
that the farmer and country business
generally are getting the full benefit
Ct the improved corn situation"
