BOSTON WOOL MARKET

DEVELOPMENTS in the wool market,
| following the heavyweight openings,
have been discouragingly slow. The
wool trade is watching The outcome
very closely, as it is believed that the
success of the wool year depends in
large measure upon what is being
done in heavy-weights. Prices here
are well maintained, especially on
domestic sorts, owing to limited Of
ferings, though the low level at which
worsteds have been priced tends to
bring about an easier feeling. No
contracting has yet been done in the
territory wool states; nor in Texas,
and eastern buyers are not yet ready
to pay the prices demanded b. west
ern holders of old wools. Australian
primary markets are strong for the
best Wools, but top-making Wools are
rather easier than super-comblng
stock, Americans are showing more
interest in all Australasian markets,
purchases having been quite liberal.
1t is reported here that good orders
have already been placed for some Of
the new heavy-weight lines, and it is
believed that wool buying to cover
can not be long delayed. When, and
at what figure, are matters OF much
concern among local wool men. Prices
are nominally unchanged for the best
wools, though mill buyers seem most
interested in the cheaper woods. Much
of the recent trading has been in top
making Australian merinos and in
Montevideo crossbreds, owing to their
relative cheapness when compared to
domestic sorts. The market is still q
waiting one, and this condition is ex-
pected to prevail for most of the cur
rent month.

STOCK THIEVES MAKE
WHOLESALE SHIPMENT

An attempted theft Of 167 head OF
cattle, more daring than any recalled
in the past reckless history Of south
ern Arizona, has been frustrated by
Pima county officials, who have been
working on the case for several days.
The large herd, valued at approx
mately $4,000, disappeared mysterious
ly during the night of February II
from the ranch of Edgar M. Col
glazier. which is located in Pima coun-
ty, near the Cochise county line near
Benson.
After three days of ardent investi-
CATION. Sheriff Walter Bailey an
nounced that the cattle had been To-
Gated and recovered in Los Angeles
and that complaints were being filed
against number of well known resi-
dents of this and Cochise county.
News was received at the sheriff's
office that another loss of 65 head
was sustained by Cochise cattleman
named Negle and who resides in the
vicinity of the Colglazier ranch.
Three warrants have already been
issued. Arrests are expected to fol-
low in Tucson; points in Cochise coun-
ty and in Los Angeles, where men-
bers of the gang are believed to have
gone to dispose of the stock.
1t is believed BY officers that the
thieves carefully planned their catch,
driving the large herd off the Col
glazier ranch during the night of Feb
ruary IL, loading them at Miramonte,
a small shipping point on the Ell Paso
& Southwestern railroad line recently
taken over by the Southern Pacific
and shipping them to a Los Angeles
firm.

Editorial Comment
Our Neighbors to the South
New York Worldl

One Of the chief curses Of the Pan-American rela-
tions lies in the rubber-stamp misconceptions which
Americans and Latin-Amercans have of each other;
one of the chief objects of the Pan-American Con-
gress of Journalists, addressed by Mr.. Coolidge,
should be to destroy them.
The Latin-American is prone to think of this coun-
try in terms of canting, long-nosed Uncle Sam with
dollar marks all his clothes, Selling Panama,
abusing Haiti and grabbing at concessions in b.
liva. He pictures the United States as land OF
lynchngs, bootleggers, ugly skyscrapers, vulgar mil.
lionaires and home life a la Hollywood. The Amer
lean. with equal ignorance, is likely to think of
his Latin neighbor shftless, febrile fellow, who
lies in hammock, catches dropping bananas and
for excitement every few months gets up revolu-
ton to overthrow the chronicaliy bankrupt govern
ment. Even when the views are not so absurd as
this they are far from accurate
The special character which Mr.. Coolidge felt it
necessary to give his speech in itself tact ad-
mission of our American parochialsm. He wishes
to impress upon our people the necessity for warm
attitude toward Latin America What does he
do? The president feels it necessary to resort to
the most elementary facts. He has to inform his
American auditors and readers that Brazil is larger
than the United States, and Argentina two-thirds
as large. He must point out that number of
South American universities are older than Harvard.
He has to assure the United States that Sarmien-
ta Jorge Isaacs and Dario are authors worth read
ing, and that Latin America has costly theaters and
art galleries. In fact, he even goes so far as to
tell our ignorant public that Latin America has
100000 square miles, 100000 people and enor.
nous undeveloped resources.
To apportion the blame for past indifference and
misunderstanding would be bootless task; the
press the schools the universities are not so much
responsible racial and historic facts. But the
remarkable progress Of Latin America is fast COM
pelling new American interest.

Loan or Gift?
Chicago Journal of CONNER

(ChicagO Journal of Commerce)
The Tincher agricultural relief bill, drawn in
accordance with Secretary Jardine's suggestions,
provides for the creation of federal farm board
which shall use a revolving fund to grant credits
to agricultural cooperative societies. The bill
contemplates repayment of the loans in twenty
years.
There certain ways in which new credit may
benefcially be applied But about the worst thing
that can be done for the farmers is to load them
up with crop and marketing credits on long-ti
payments. No longtime loan can serve either the
borrower or the lender unless it is based on endur-
ing security.
Talk of paying for dead horse! That's easy as
compared with the repayment Of loan based on
bushel of wheat which was sold and consumed
twenty years ago.
Credit granted to farmers, or to farm co-opera-
tives, should enable them to withhold a crop till
the right time to market it, that there shall be
no necessity of premature sale. But as soon as
the crop is sold the loan should be sef-liquidatng
The proceeds of the sale should pay off the loan.
Otherwise farmers and farm co-operatives will
be borrowing money on perishable consumptive
goods and then will be called upon to pay it back
twenty years hence
Such repayment would work tremendous hard
ship on the farmers. National sympathy would be
stirred, and it probably would be easy to obtain
governmental cancellation Of all or most Of the
debts. The only way to keep the twenty-year loan
from injuring the farmers would be to convert tho
loans into gifts
II the United States wants to make hundred.
million dollar gift to the farmers, the fact should
now be stated.
The length Of the so-callcd loan makes it i'm.
practicable as loan. And that very length makes
e most pleasing to politicians. For The pelitjcian'

North Dakota Farm Outlook For May
BY Rex E. Willard, Farm Economist,
North Dakota Agricultural College

Prospects are that this will not be
absorbed before next fall, and low
prices are indicated for the fall of
1926.
Those who are planning flax acre
ages may we'll consider shifting some
of this to wheat this spring, as the
probabilities are that greater pro-
fit will be made in wheat than in
flax.
Hogs
March prices of hogs declined. the
cause being an Over-supply, not .
lessened demand. Heavy type hogs
prevailed. Probably the number of
hogs to be marketed between now and
June will not be much different than
last year. but from July to October
it will probably be larger.
Cattle
Match cattle prices were weak, the
chief decline being in dressed beef,
due TO lower demand and not to over
supply. There are shout the same
number Of cattle on feed in the corn
belt as Z year ago. High prices Of
feeders is discouraging feeding.
There will probably be slightly great
er marketings in May last year. Il
this happens the prices may fall Oft.
Lambs :
Receipts Of lambs in March were
IL per cent larger than q year ago,
and the price declined. Live weight
prices were Is to 20 per cent lower
than in March, 1924. Lambs have
reached marketable weight earlier
than usual. Apparently the supply
will be less in April and May than
it was year ago.
