FOREIGN NEWS
ADVANCES Grain
PRICES IN PIT
Reports From Kansas and
Oklahoma Force Wheat
Futures Higher.
BNTnitcf PrcSS

BV I'nitcd Press
CHICAGO. June 21.-Hcouraged
by the firm Liverpool market and a
forecast by the department of agri-
culture that the worlds wheat yield
will bbe about five per cent under
last year. the bull sentiment started
by crop deterioration reports from
Kansas and Oklahoma continued to
force wheat futures higher in the
early trade today. Corn and oats
registered smaller gains in sympa-
thy.
At the opening wheat was p to
IL cents higher, corn was up a
to 3 cent, and oats were Is to IS
cent higher. Provisions were Slight
ly higher.
Practically all messages from
southwest tell of Disappointing pros
poets. and some reports suggest a
shrinkage of 100000 bushels in
the Indicated wheat crop of Kansas
and Oklahoma as compared with
June 1. Excessive rains while the
plant was in bloom and premature
ripening are given as the main dam
aging factors. The Canadian north
west is again needing rain.
Corn has been following wheat,
but does not show the pronounced
strength featuring the small grain.
The crop is progressing rapidly and
receipts are running the largest in
a long time, although the fact that
corn is from ten days to two weeks
late, and shipping sales are in ex-
cess of arrivals tends to Offset these
beariSh factors.
Trading in oats has been ruling
very quiet, but the market has
shown no weakness in recent ses-
sionS

GRAIN HEAD HAS
LITTLE FAITH IN
FARM AID LAW
Sounds Warning Note at
Session of State
Dealers Here.

Laws enacted in an effort to save
business sometimes fail of the pur-
pose for which they are intended,
was the warning note about farm
relief sounded today at the mid
summer meeting of the Indiana
Grain Dealers Association by the
president F. f. Elliott OF Muncie.
More than $50 dealers we're in
attendance when the one-day meet
ing opened today in the Board OF
Trade assembly room
The high point of the program
is the discussion of the new farm
relief bill late today by Fred S.
Purneu of Attica, Ninth district
congressional representative.
Offer Aid to Hoover
Purnell is expected to describe the
benefits which will accrue to ae1i-
culture through the federal aid.
Elliott declared that all aid cNj
confidence would be offered Prczs-
dent Herbert Hoover and the beard
he appoints to administer the s,95-
sidy.
But. we still believe in the old
law of supply and demand and We
still believe it to be one Of the
fundamental elements in determin-
ing values and unless strictly adj
hered to success is endangered and
failure is inevitable.
Has No Faith in Law
Elliott explained that he believed
the farmer should receive a fair
and equitable price for his product,
and that if this occurred there would
be no need for federal aid.
He declared he had no faith in
statutory aid to an industry.
Il should say that the passage Of
this act justifes some optimism al
though it does not warrant the as
sumption that farm prices are about
to soar.
THE heavy carry over of wheat
and the splendid prospects for
new crop are a burden and will be
for some time. Patience should be
exercised and prejudice and ieaI-
ousy kept in the background"
