RUSSIA is HELD
AS BIG FACTOR.
.Patten, Famous 4BuIl'' Of Grain
Pit, Looks for Higher
Wheat.

Chicago-Russia, according to
James A. Patten, the wheat king" Is
the big, outstanding economic factor
governing the trend OF the worlds
wheat prices. This great grain pro-
ducing nation is knocked out Of the
world market for at least three years,
he asserts.
The battle-scarred 69.year-old ire
tired" board Of trade operator, denies,
incidentally, that he is at present en-.
gagged in a bitter pit war with ]. Og-
den Armour. Reports persistently
have 1t that there is a tremendous
holding in the wheat market-that
sooner or later Shorts in May wheat
will find themselves in q tight place.
Patten is said to be long" Armour
Short"
Russia is out Of the worlds wheat
trade. She won't be able to get back
in for three or four years. Well feed
Russia for the next Is months. Be.
fore the war Russia was big world
factor. She used to export daily 2,000,-
900 bushels of wheat and 5000, 900
bushels Of rye into Germany and
Austria-Hungary. That's our business
now. Europe is economically depen-
dent upon Aemrica for supplies. It
will continue SO until Russia gets back
on her feat. n
No "cheap Wheat" Seen.
Il don't expect to see cheap wheat
for quite y time. figure, too, that
farmers in the United States have
been marketing their wheat heavily.
They had borrowed money, and the
country banks were pressing them.
They haven't the wheat now. That's
another important factor

Observation-Disclosures French, Jr,
OF Austin. Mimi, has been recommend
ed to President Harding for appoint
ment as the United States district at.
torney for Minnesota by Senators
Nelson and Kellogg. His appointment
fs assured.
The naming Of Mr.. French. who 10
a prominent young attorney of South
ern Minnesota and former service
man, came as a surprise, for It was
generally understood that Archie Yer.
non of Little Falls, former command.
er Of the American Legion, was the
most likely choice.

Cumber stock has gone up materially
since the convention. He is now cer-i
tain to be one of the two high, and
is the only hope Of defeating Frazier.
If Frazier wins the republican NOM
ination in June, he will be elected in
the fall. Further, large bloc of the
votes will go to Mr.. McCumber even
though Frazier is in the field. The
more moderate leaguers contend that
they would be hurting the farming
interests by replacing McCumber on
the theory that Frazier would be
forced to wait for years before be-
coming a factor in the national SEN
ate. On the, other hand, McCumber
has alreday arrived" This will re-
suit in cutting the Frazier vote ma
terially. In other words. there are
many leaguers who would vote for
Frazier for governor who will not
vote for him for senator since It
would mean the unseating Of Nc.
Cumber. q. ~
The only weak spot in Mr.. McCum-
ber's; armor is the manner in which
he has handled Federal patronage in
this state The so-called "bitter.end-
ers" in the convention, and the; men
who are expected to vote for Frazier
with the idea Of supporting the demo-
crat in the fall, are generally the ones
who have been personally offended
in the matter Of Federal appoint
ments. This applies particularly to
B. F s.palding and the I. v. A. lead
ers. 80 s.
q. The fight on the states ticket this
year will be tame. The real fireworks
from now until election day will CEN
ter around the senatorial fight. II
will be a bitter fight. The Harding
administration is deeply interestedin
the return of Mr.. Cumber to the
senate. The national officials Of the
American Legion are very friendly to
Mr.. McCumber's return because of
his stand on legislation they have
been Interested in, such as hospitali-
zation, comp nsation, etc. Former
commanders Of the G. A. r. and thel,
Relief Corps have appealed to North
Dakota to return McC umber. 4

then selected for the positions that
are to go To- the democrats in the fall
The only sign Of discord in the en-.
tire convention came just before the
close when P. D. Norton, candidate
for the senatorial endorsement, OBJ
jected to the agreement which had
been reached and threatened to be a
candidate in June anyway. He was
quickly silenced by the entire con-
vention, and adjournment was then
ordered.
Cong. Burtness, Of the First Dist
riot, and Cong. Young, Of the Sec
ond, were re-endorsed, and q commit
tee appointed to select candidate in
the Third.
As things now stand, there is no
conflict whatever on the state ticket.
For senator, there win be but two
main contenders Messrs. Frazier and
cCumber. Gronna may or may not
epter the race. And the same holds
good in Norton's case. However, nei-
ther can hope to receive more than
few thousand votes at the primary.
It is universally admitted that either
McCumber or Frazier will be-. the
nominee in June. And many Of the
anti Met umber forces in the: conven.
ton signified their intention Of sup.
porting McCumber as the lesser OF
two evils, as they view it. There will
be a small independent bloc Of vot.
iers who propose to vote for some one
other than McCumber, with the idea
that if Frazier wins the nomination
they will support the democrat in thu
fall. These men. would have followed
the same course even had McCum,
ber's endorsement been forced in The
convention, and. the percentage Of
"soreheads" would have been in,
creased in that case. ut is possible

Why Bonds Sell at Premium

Suest,on~~Mhy is II that bonds 20 to
premium when within year Of na,ur.
10y, ana how high may such premium
logically zoe. l.. NJ.
Answer--A so.a.. Of 5ia per cent on
temporarily idle funds is remarkably
attractive at time when United States
treasury is offering new certificates on
~ per cent yield basis and bankers
acceptances are quoted at lower return
than that. Herein lies the reason whv
PONDS within q year Of their maturity
can sell at a premium. At eli tjmes
there are varying amounts of money
seeking short term investment, cane
clally when business is poor. CORPORA
ton balance sheets published within the
last two months have shown that GER
tam companies have great reserves of
cash and readily markets securities
the latter mostly short term issues
lake Texas Company per cent notes.
Tor instance. Corporations and bust
ness men with idle money are willing
to pay 10l L for them because the WELD
at that price is better than 51b per
cent, and that is much better than thew
can get for funds that must remain
thoroughly liquid. At certain dis
lance from maturity these bonds and
all others of the same class will begin
to move gradually back toward par. If
the short term holder should find use
tor his funds before maturity of the
notes he can avail himself Of ready
market and sell the securities. Thero
can be no set rule for measuring the
premium that short term bond of this
kind can command That is thina.
which depends on the condition of bust
ness and the state of the money market.
