GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Aug. % (P)-Wheat en-
countered realizing sales in the late
trading on the board of trade and
much of the early gain was lost. Initial
firmness was due to higher Liverpool
quotations and unfavorable weather
advices from the northwest. At the
finish wheat showed net gain of half
to Is cents, corn advanced to rs,
oats were 1s to * off and provisions
unchanged to Is up.
Wheat prices averaged higher
throughout the day and while some
traders were inclined to fight the adj
vanceS, there was sufficient buying on
these declines. Continued wet weather
in Europe where the harvest is late,
rains in American and Canadian
northwest with some talk of frost in
parts of Canada, were the bullish in
fluenceS. There was a good export
demand with sales estimated at l.
100000 to 100000 bushels. The wet
harvest abroad has been a factor in
increasing the demand, it being pointed
out that Europe will suffer severely
from excessive moisture.

other provinces. Light frost was pre-
dicted tonight in low ground in east
ern North Dakota. One report today
said that some of the territory in the
northwest experienced temperature
as low as 81 degrees last night and
another expert wired that the damage
in parts of the Saskatchewan district
resulting from rust and the recent
frost would be SO per cent, while the
outlook in the province was said to
have been reduced 20 to 25 per cent.
Corn was firmer on continued cool
weather and official and private re-
ports showed slow progress toward ma
turity. South Dakota's weekly report
indicated 60 per cent of the crop need
ed six weeks to mature, while a pri-
vate crop expert after a trip over Is
Illinois counties estimated Sc per cent
would mature in so to go days, and the
outcome OF the balance was in doubt.
There was a good class of buying on
all setbacks.
Oats were unsettled, with the market
running into selling orders on all up
turns.
Provisions were firmer with hogs.

COTTON RAISERS
TO COOPERATE
| N MARKETING

PHOENIX, Ariz. Aug. % tF-.
Virtual assurance that growers OF
irrigated cotton in Arizona will mar
ket their crops this year through an
organization comprising growers in
four states and that they will receive
q material increase in prices for their
cotton as a result of this marketing
system, was given today following a
conference of men representing CO..
operative associations from the four
states. The conference was held in
the offices of the Arizona Pima Cot
ton Growers, largest of the four
groups to be represented.
The joint marketing plan, as pro-
posed by C. o. Moser, president and
general manager of the American,
Cotton Growers exchange, which an
nually sells cotton worth 100000 900
calls for a pooling of the irrigated
crop production. This pooling, 1t is
believed, will accomplish two major
ends:
L. Elimination of competition be-
tween cooperative organizations, nan
ding the same type of cotton.
2. Greatly reducing the sales ex-

will not be effective until the boards
of directors of the four represented
associations approve the plans. APP
proval of one board was given in
a meeting Immediately after the con-
ference today when the directors of
the Arizona Pima Cotton Growers
endorsed the proposal. 1t is believed
that no opposition will be found
among the other boards of directors.

ers, represented by Captain Frank
Green, president; and the Arizona
Pima Cotton Growers, represented by
K, D. Helwarth, president, and T.
II. Kendall, manager, and the execu-
tive committee Of the organization.
The assembly, after approving the
idea to form a joint organization,
selected Mr.. Kendall as sales man
ager, subject to the approval Of the
directors of the four member asso-
Citations. Agreement to have the
headquarters Of the joint group in
Phoenix also was reached.
