SEES BLUNDER IN PLAN
TO RAISE GRAIN PRICE

CHICAGO, y October 13.-Applica-
ton of fruit marketing rules to grain
| and cotton is "the greatest blunder
I; ever made in the cooperative move
| ments." John J. Stream, president Of
| the Chicago Board of Trade, declared
here.
''The thought seems to prevail" he
said, that cooperative ventures are
| in some way superior to the efforts of
the Independent dealer or the present
| marketing system, while official
records show that they are subject
, to precisely the same hazards of any
other business"
Department of Agriculture reports,
| he said. showed 243 farmers aSsocia-
tions had failed since 1913, but added
that cooperative marketing could
serve distinct purpose in the hand
| ling of perishable crops, such as
vegetables and fruits, where 1t is
necessary to create or stimulate the
demand.
Farmers have been told by ILL
| advised organizers that cooperative
grain marketing would greatly en-
| hance the price. To the practical
| grain man or student of marketing
| such talk is ridiculous. Should there
| be a successful movement to pool or
| store wheat and hold it from market,
! any price advance would be only
! temporary, for sooner or later the
wheat would have to be sold" he
said.

NEW YORK, October 13.--Cnder-

uneasiness relative to the future, and

Copper has shown further decline.

week. Sales of about 20.000.000 pounds
were reported to manufacturers of
electrical shipment on the decline. In
copper, brass and bronze products
further declines of half a cent were
recorded. Continued weakness abroad
unsettled the market and prompted
producers TO shade prices in order TO
prevent more accumulation of stock.
Tin Market Unsettled.
Tin was easier, with futures at a
discount under spot. Consumers are
still indifferent and the market re-
