Are on the Increase

A divided picture of increasing farm
ers' purchases and declining buying in
industrial areas was presented a few
days ago by the federal reserve board
in figures showing the value of depart

pared with a year ago.
Federal reserve districts that have re-

reported heavy gains in sales value.
The Kansas City district reported
gains of 10 percent, Minneapolis district

HIGH POINTS IN
FAR N PRICES
CASH RECEIPTS SMALLER, HOW
EVER, BECAUSE MARKETINGS
ARE DECREASING

From Bureau of Economics, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture
September and October ordinarily
mark the high point in yearly cash
receipts of farmers. Present indica-
tions are that the high point in
farmers cash income in 1884 will
come in these months, but the in
cas- over preceding months may be
smaller than in past years. While
farm prices have advanced sharply
in response to the dr0uth, farm mar
ketings are just beginning to decrease
owing to marked reduction in output
of many of the staple crops this year,
also to smaller production of pigs and
chickens.
Grain markets are responding quick
ly to changes in foreign markets be-
cause domestic prices are neal the world
price level, allowing for tariff charges.
Any sustained rise here would tend to
attract imports Of wheat, rye and corn.
Price trend was slightly downward in
early October, owing partly to heavy
shipments of Argentine wheat to Eur
ope, but the light domestic supply has
checked any sharp declines. Rye, oats
and barley sell considerably below Sep
TENDER top prices. owing to threat of
foreign competition. Corn has followed
the declining wheat market to some *
tent, with declines of 2 cents or more
in late September and early October.
Barley is 5 to l cents below top of last
month.
The better grades of fed steers and
long yearlings held steady to strong
price levels, while the lower grades,
heavy heifers and all grades Of COWS
sold on a slow to somewhat lower basis.
Best fed steers sold at Chicago at 81 rs.
Fat lambs declined rs cents. No lambs
sold at Chicago above $6.75. Demand
for feeder lambs was well sustained at
around steady prices. Heavy receipts
of western lambs indicate that the
market Involvement of range lambs is
about three weeks in advance of that Of
last year. Many lambs received in
September from drouth areas were light
in weight. Those from mountain graz
ing sections were in much better con-
dition and sold with little or no sort
ing.
Wool markets show increased activ-

unchanged despite some price gains in
foreign markets. Hides and calfskins
sold at steady prices neal the beginning
of October with more active demand
and less fear of over-supply as a result
of government buying Of livestock.
Continued dizziness prevailed in feed
markets at the beginning of October
as a result Of lower grain and livestock
prices, improvement in later pastures,
and further slackening in demand.
Wheatfeed prices declined SO cents to
81 a ton. At Denver mill feeds sold
slightly lower than a week earlier, but
the output of local mills was moving
freely to other Colorado points. At o.
den millrun sold readily, particularly
to buyers in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.
Prices we're unchanged. Cottonseed
meal and gluten feed were firm, with
prices generally so cents to 81 higher
than the week before. Tankage dropped

Shawdow that fish were feeding. He

captain, who 25 years ago was in the
Halifax whaling trade. A moment
later, however, tails and fins appeared
on all sides and the skipper realized
the craft was in danger. He cau-

This can be accomplished if West
holds the ace of hearts.
The ten of spades is ruffed, de-
clarer returning to his own hand
with the queen of diamonds. An
other spade is ruffed. The ace and
king of diamonds are cashed, two
clubs being discarded. The ten of
diamonds is played next, South
trumping with the eight of hearts.
South now must lead a small
heart toward dummy's ten, hoping
that, if West holds the ace and
ten of hearts, he will not go up on
the first heart. West makes the
careless play of a small heart,
which is won in dummy with the
ten of hearts, and now the seven
of hearts is returned.
West is forced to win with the
ace. Now he is helpless-if he
leads a spade. the declarer will ruff
in dummy and discard the losing
club, while if the club is led, it is
right into the declarer'S ace-queen.

II you make every slam you bid,

slams-you are too conservative.

optimistic bid, but there is one
