FARMERS REJOICE
AS WHEAT SCARS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 4.-Busi-
ness sentiment in the grain-raising
States has jumped up and down like
mercury In thermometer in the last
few weeks in coordination with
wheat prices. At present the
price level points to fair and
warmer" The amount of wheat
shipped and the money which went
into the farmers pockets in return
fell OFF sharply In October and No
vember, but recent spurts in prices
have released a large quantity OF
grain, especially in the last few days.
Grain ships on the Great Lakes
loaded hastily today to take advan-
tage of the old insurance rates. which
rise at midnight tonight and increase
again on December -. In the Da-
kotas, Montana and Minnesota the
larger portion of the grain crop has
been hauled to market. but stiu re-
mains in the ownership Of the grow
ers. This volume of stored grain is
heavier than in any year since the
war and has tied up a large sum-
which normally would be in posses
sion Of the farmers-or the mer-
chants they patronize.
Half Crop Still Unsold.
The proportion of the crop still un-
sold is conservatively estimated at
90 per cent. Grain shipments, how
ever under the influence OF the last
excited jump in the wheat market
are now returning to normal. The
storage capacity of the country ele-
vators has been about fully taken I'd
as was possible and still leave work
ing space, but the latest report of
the Minnesota State bank superin-
tendent shows that the growers are
now cashing in on their holdings
State bank deposits show a gain OF
S25 100000 and savings accounts of
t17 900. 900, according to his report.
When grain Is held in country ele-
vators extensively the surplus usually
comes in to terminal markets, and II
Is indicated that considerable
amount has reached the Northwest
terminal elevators. This is confirmed
by the fact that grain draft collec-
tions by banks are 20 to 25 per cent
below those of a year ago, although
the decline in receipts Is not more
than 9 per cent. Since August l the
amount paid out by grain firms On
drafts at Minneapolis has aggregated
S165 100000.
Rap Board of Trade
Farmers in the Northwest still ex-
press dissatisfaction over the reglla-
tions governing trading on the Chi
cago Board of Trade and other ex-
changes, declaring that the prevention
of more than 10 per cent price varia,
ton is not adequate. since such a
reriation has seldom occurred.
The farmers also are bitterly op-
posed to an increase in grain rates
for the Northwest roads. j. F. Reed,
president of the Minnesota Farm Bu-
reau, has made a point blank threat
that farmers will establish a freight
truck service If railroad rates are
raised. The Northwest roads have
complained already over the competi-
ton furnished by truck and bus lines
and have used all efforts to have this
competition checked.
