ton in grain terminal markets un-
less shipments are lessened from the
farms Of the northwest tributary to
Duluth and Minneapolis, members
O. the northwest regional advisory
board at their meeting here yester-
day gave to their special joint

When the serious condition pre-

announcement made by II. l.. Taft,
cashier
The practice heretofore has been
to advance 70 percent of the local
market price, but not to exceed SO
cents per bushel. This limitation
was set by the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank, which is financing the
movement of grain for the assoca
ton, in order to safeguard its
loans, Mr.. Taft stated.
In the early part of the season
this worked out satisfactorily but
Since the climb in price, the 80 cent
limit prevented the association from
advancing the full 20 percent. This
limit has now been increased to 95
cents per bushel.
"The growers have already deliv-
cred almost million bushels to the
pool" Mr.. Taft declared, "and the
prospects for big volume are very
bright. The pool has splendid OPP
portunity this year to make good
showing, for world conditions indi-
cate. continued strong market and
rising prices. The market value OF
the grain already delivered to the
pool, and still unsold, has increased
in value about $500, 100000 since the
beginning of the season." he pointed
