SETBACK IS FELT INV GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. Jan. 14.-Although prices bulged in the grain markets today with corn and oats reaching the topmost values yet this season, heavy profits taking brought about a setback. Simultaneously with the reaction, estimates, were current that the amount of livestock on farms is smaller than was the case a year ago and that the actual consumption of Wheat closed weak at 1-2 to 3-4@7-Sc net decline, corn unchanged to l-2Q5-8c lower, oats varying from 1-4c off to 8 shade advance. and pro- visions unchanged to 17c down.
 Most of the time until about mid day, bulls in the grain trade ap- peared to have the advantage. chiefly corn and of wheat and oats as well. It was also correctly assumed that decrease would be shown in the United States visible supply of wheat. corn and oats. Besides, Liverpool wheat quotations were higher. tenn porarily offsetting more or less a break in foreign exchange. Active selling in the corn market, however, ascribed largely. to eastern houses that had been buyers at lower levels proved to be 8 big weight on prices of all grain.
 Nevertheless corn values held more stubbornly than wheat, re ceivers being almost unanimous in the opinion that the country was sell ing virtually no. corn to arrive. It was said too that demand was keen for all the corn obtainable from farmers.
 Bearish estimates regarding corn consumption and the amount of live- stock on farms had a leading statisti- clan as authority. and the effect of the estimates was emphasized by in- creased weakness of New York stock market quotations and of foreign ex- change. On the other hand, the farm consumption of oats this season was estimated to have increased nearly per cent.
 Provisions went lower in sympathy with the hog market and foreign ex- change.

Mrs. Quackenbush Writes

Continued from Page One)
The people here are very sociable
and try to make you feel at home
and have a good time. We never
missed but one week last summer 60
ing out on a week end camping trip.
picnic or long hike and surely had a
most wonderful time.
We always took Genevieve Mont.
gomery with us after she came il
July. Then Elizabeth Brown came
and we made room for her. They
only caused us one trouble apiece.
Elizabeth never got off her favorite
log in time to get her shoes and
stockings on in time to go home, and
Genevieve would never throw away
the coffee until we had to put the
coffee pot into the lunch box.
l have spent ten months here the
23rd of March and have never spent
a nicer ten months, as I only had
one mosquito bite and only killed
about half a dozen flies all summer.
Ninty-two degrees was the warmest
day we had last summer and you
never feel the heat if you are in a
building or under the shade trees.
Our winter has been real Califor-
MIA weather, excepting one week the
first of the new year and some said
it registered 18 below then.
We find the graded schools here
farther advanced than the w. P.
schools and the girls like their work
and are getting along very nicely.
They both take piano lessons and
have a wonderful instructor. They
teach music in every form except
ing piano here in the high school. I
surely appreciate the fact that my
children have had the chance to pick
apples, peaches, plums and cherries
off the trees and strawberries off the
vines.
I always have a soft spot in my
heart for anyone that has had the
opportunity to live here and then
wants to go back to sage brush,
heat, snow and wind. Although if
we had Wolf Point and it's people in
western Montana we wouldn't ask
for anything better.
I will take advantage of your dol
lar day saving on my subscription
for the paper. Please find check for
two years enclosed.
Hope you win the county seat
soon, and best regards to you and
yours.
Mrs. R. L. Quackenbush.

determine the ratio price to be S1.5s
a bushel. Assuming that the tota-
crop is $50, 10000 bushels, and il
should estimate the exportable sur
plus at $50, 200 900 bushels, which
would leave 600, OO0, 900 bushels for
domestic use. If the 600, 100000

the 600, 600, 900 bushels, and if the
$50, 600, 900 bushels were sold in
foreign markets at $1.09, the cur
rent price, on which there would be
no profit or loss over or below the
current price, the world price, the
net gain would be $780, goo, 600 less
operating expenses.
Operating Cost 1Oc a Bushel
"The operating expenses would
run about 10 cents a bushel. If the
corporation paid $1.39 a bushel in
cash and 20 cents in scrip at the
time of purchase, the corporation
would at the end of the year pay
the producer 10 cents a bushel on
his ccrip in addition to the $1.39
paid at the time of purchase, or net
40 cents a bushel ove the world
or a gross profit of $500, OO0,-
700 less operating expenses.
"Had the corporation been fun
last December, according to
he Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
price authorized would have
,een at the Chicago market 90 cents
bushel for corn, instead of 73c,
he average price paid for corn in
December. On cattle, S1O.94, in
tead of S9.78 a hundred pounds. On
ogs, $11.24, instead of $7.05, and
S before stated, on wheat, $1.59
instead of S1.O9. In other words
he farmer would have received in
ash and scrip % cents a bushel
lore for his corn, $1.16 a hundred
ounds more for his cattle, 1929 a
undred for his hogs and so cents I
bushel for his wheat. !
