Urge That Wheat Be Used For Hog Feed

KANSAS CIHY, Mo, July 24.-At present prices, wheat could be ad. vantaseously fed to hogs instead o1 corn according to reports from the state schools of agriculture of Mis- souri and Kansas, made public to- day With corn worth S5 cents a bushel, wheat Is worth S1.11, when fed to hogs, l.. A. Weaver, head of ] Ee Missouri agricultural expert ment station, said. Feeding of wheat to hogs would enable the farmers 10 get his hogs to market early, said H. Umberger. head of the extension service of the Kansas State Agri- cultural college.
 Kansas would use more wheat than her population can consume in year by finishing out in the next 90 days one half of her spring pig crop on wheat, MT. Umberger said. he said. shows that hogs were worth on the farm exactly s1 per hundredweight more on October 1 than on January l. This year there is an abnormally large number of pigs in the country. If prices fol- low the usual trend under such cir cumstances, considerably greater difference should prevail between fall prices and those existing after the bulk of hogs has been finished on the new crop.
 The average farm price for corn in October in the last 15 years has been 91 cents. while on August 1 it has averaged S1.15."
 Under these circumstances, MT. Umberger urges that it would be better to hold the corn crop this year for a higher figure and feed wheat to hogs. Holding wheat at this time for a higher price is a prob lematic procedure, he said.

MAKING OWN MONEY

LONDON, July 24.-Germans in the occupied territory are turning out home made currency notes to take the place of paper of the Reichbank, which Is unobtainable, writes the Dusseldorf correspondent of the Daily Mail, who says the private firms and manufacturers are inun- dating the finance ministry at Der lin with requests for permission to print their own currency. Otherwise they say they are unable to pay their employees. Some business com pines already have issued such notes and there are instances where the managers of mines have put out 100,- 900 mark bonds against the assets of the mines.
 One Dusseldorf firm has issued metal tokens of various amounts. Such private enterprises are in addi tion to monetary issues made by mu- nicipalities. Some of the Ruhr towns have been using newspaper presses to turn out notes under authorization of the Berlin government.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 NEW ORLEANS, July 24.-After mak- ins fairly wide declines today, the cotton market commenced to react on realizing by the short interest and new buying en- couraged by complaints of high day tenn peratures in Texas and claims that lower prices were bringing in a spot demand, with a consequent tightening in the basis small net advances were established but these were reduced somewhat on the close. which was II points down to points up net for the day. July closed at the bid price of 23. 35c a pound. and October at the range of 21.74c to 21. 76c.
 In the early trading the market still felt the influence of yesterdays break in the western spot markets, and July fell off to 2Sc. or 40 points under the close of yesterday. After that July turned al most inactive and appeared well liqui- dated, trading in that position teasing at noon tomorrow. On this first decline Oc- tober fell off to 2l 66c and the new crops registered losses of II to 20 points. Sow ering by shorts stimulated enough demand to bring about complete recovery. and finally met gains. October trading up to 2l 93c. Here the new crops were to 26 points higher than the preceding close. What was taken for hedge selling ap- peared. and the new crops broke again, this time to 21. 44c for October and to net losses on the new crops of 23 to 41 points. In the late trading shorts realized on a large scale. and new buying for long ac- counts increased. The tone on the close was called very steady.

quits bouncing!' Raggedy as

 And, of course. this was true, for anyone knows who has ever bounced upon pop corn" clouds, you just bounce and bounce and bounce!
 So little Ned Gnome flew down to the deep, deep woods with the Rag gedys and as soon as they touched the ground they all gave a happy shout, for there not over 20 feet from where they were was a mud puddle of chocolate ice cream. Of course, an ice cream mud puddle Is nothing like an ordinary mud puddle except that 1t looks a good deal like one.
 The difference, though, is that an ice cream mud puddle is just as clean

TRADING IN STOCK MARKET |S ALONG REACT|ONARy LINE
Professionals Show Tendency To Feel Out Bearish
 Possibilities
By WALTER E. BROWN,
 Editor New York Commercial tLeased Wire to The Age-Herald.) )

NEW YORK, July 24-With pro- fessionals showing a tendency to feel out the bearish possibilities of the market, trading was generally along the same reactionary lines as that Of yesterdays trading, leading opera tors were putting out moderate sized short lines in an apparent at- tempt to dislodge any weak longs which might have survived the last previous drive. This movement was aided by the weakened technical po- sition which resulted from the gen. eral covering operation in last weeks upswing.
 Most of such weakness as is evil dent in the market is apparently due almost entirely to such technical cconsideratit The absorptive qual- ities demonstrated by yesterdays market offered more or less con vincing proof that selling was now being based upon and directed against the lack of public spport, rather than any further suspicion of inherent instability
 Spectators Pessimistic.
 There is a rather interesting line of demarcation between the express ed optimism of the banking fratern- ity and the frank pessimism of the speculative element, the latter exert ing the more weight by virtue of
  willing to sell the market, while bulls are more cautious in pairing their actions with their sentiments.
 Despite the quiet tone of confi- dence, assumed in banking circles, it is admitted that the general in- Vestment situation leaves something to be desired and that some of the very large issues pending such as the proposed 150000.000 peso, Ar gentine issue. which stand little, if any chance, if offered at this time. II is also worthy of note that very little industrial CT municipal financ- ing is being brought out.
 The entire situation, or at least so far as surface indications offer a safe guide, appears to be one of cautious waiting with the leaders in the financial world are inclined to talk somewhat more freely about the continuation of the high operating rate Of industry in this country, while a more cheerful view of the railroad situation Is also being taken,

BEAR SENTIMENT IS AGAIN SEEN IN COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, July 24.-BearIsh sem timent again predominated in the cotton market today, and while oc- casional rallies occurred, one of them near the close. the market had very little substantial support, and most of the buying represented covering of shorts. The final tone was firm with prices from GO points lower to 5 points net higher.
 At one time July contracts sold as low as 23.S0c, or 7U points down from the previous close. New crop posi- tions, while not so weak, failed to show the strength that many had ex- pected to see in view of absence of rains in Texas and complaints that yesterdays precipitation had been limited to southern portions of the state. where the crop now is being gathered. It was estimated that Wall street alone covered over 5o,000 bales of short cotton in the after noon.
 A good deal of resistoance was noted around 22.24c for October, which proved to be the low point of the day and in December at 2a05c. also the lowest, and this doubtless had a bearing on the rapidity of the late advance. The weakness in both grain and stocks and an absence of business in the cotton goods market encouraged bear operators during the session. Notwithstanding the less favorable news from Texas. wires from that state again reported that the basis was weak and the interior offerings very free, both for August and early fall shipment. Tempera- lures were high at many Texas points. but this seemed to be offset by generally favorable advices from other sections of the belt.
 It was felt by many that the future would be more a question of demand than of supply the coming season, in view of the renewed buying power of the western farmer. No notices were issued today, but there have been some recent arrivals of cotton here, which. 1t Is understood, will be cer- tlflcated and against which notices will be issued tomorrow. some esti- mating the total deliveries as high as 10000 bales. With July contracts eliminated at noon tomorrow, some were disposed to anticipate a broader speculative demand and possibly a steadier market.

CHICAGO, July 24.-More than S6OOOOO will be appropriated to further "a truth in advertising" cam paign of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, according to ac- tion taken by the executive council, which met here yesterday.

 Little Ned Gnome and the RagGedys enjoyed seeing it, for they knew just how nice and sweet the chocolate ice cream mud puddle was.
 They pulled large leaves from a nearby bush and in two minutes were all eating the lovely chocolate ice cream. They forgot all about the mean old Witch.

PRICE OF WHEAT NEARLY REACHES LOWEST LEVELS

CHICAGO. July 24.-Wheat dropped in price today to within a fraction of the lowest prices reached by the 1923 crop. Weakness of the New York stock market had much to do with the lowering of values here. Wheat closed unsettled at 1% Q2c net de- cline, with September 96 M 097c, and December s1ff1.00B Corn finished at a range varying from q off to d shade advance, oats Is e 14 N $s c down, and provisions unchanged to a set back of 15c.
 From the outset pressure to sell was evident in the wheat market. A sharp decline in Liverpool quotations tended to emphasize the effect of bearish views expressed by a leading Chicago banker as to the outlook for improved trade with Europe. In ad- dition, the downward course of se- curities in Wall street put wheat bulls at a decided disadvantage and, although hedging sales of newly harvested wheat during the first part of the day were only moderate, the market later felt the weight of per sistent commission house selling and of increased hedging, as well as un- loading on the part of early buyers.
 The fact that receipts of wheat at Chicago again were heavy, in con- trast with exceptional smallness of arrivals in the southwest and west, where farm organizations are striv- ing to have as much wheat as possi- ble stored on farms, apparently was responsible for some of the selling pressure here and so was slowness of export demand. Announcement that harvesting had begun in the Cana dian northwest. with weather favor able and big yield in prospect, was effective also in depriving the mar ket here of support.
 Corn and cats sympathized with wheat weakness. At one stage, how ever, July corn touched a new high price record for the season, 87Lc.

 Then, before she could scramble to her feet again, little Ned Gnome had given her such q push she slid right over the edge of the tip top cloud and went tumbling head over heels way down toward the next cloud.
