We think that each member of

.L0W-PR|CE GRAIN
AIDS HOG MARKET
Middle Western Farmers
Plan to Sell Bumper
Crop On Hoof.'
BY PAUL ID. SHOEMAKER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.


CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Farmers who
market their corn ION the hoof," and
most Of them do, figured today they
stand a good chance of disposing of
much of this years big corn crop
profitably.
Throughout the corn belt farmers
are concentrating efforts on heavy
feeding schedules of meat animals on
the premise that factors are favorable
for converting low-priced grain into
cash through hogs and beef cattle.
With the corn-hog ratio ranging
around l8 in the corn belt today, feed
ing corn to hogs is regarded as the
Hofitable thing to do. This ratio
means that 1t takes l8 bushels of corn
to buy 100 pounds of live hog, as
compared with 95 bushels year ago,
when both corn and hogs were selling
at top prices. When the ratio falls
below IL or II farmers agree it is un-
profitable to feed corn.
Low Storage Supplies.
Another factor regarded as favor
able was the low storage supplies of
pork, which latest Government fig-
. ures give as 379 100000 pounds, COM
pared with 467 100000 pounds a year
ago and a flve-year average U929-
1889 Of 726 100000 pounds Storage
supplies of beef were 81 per cent be-
low year ago, with present stocks at
100000 pounds, as against 5l,OOO,-
600 pounds. Approximately 10 to IL
per cent more feeder cattle are in lots
in the North Central States now than
year ago and during the hog mar
keting year, starting October l, up
ward of 100000 more hogs are ex-
pected to be shipped to market than
the 100000 head figured as this
years slaughter.
In view Of low storage stocks and
with prospective improvement in con-
sumner demand, farmers believe the
market will be able to absorb additional
hogs and cattle without disruption.
Corn Loan Will Aid.
Ait AN PdA VI hSI
corn loan of 81 cents a bushel will
aid, some farmers assert, in maintain
ing the corn-hog ratio near its present
range.
Recent weeks have seen a slight up
turn in the farm price index and Bu-
reau of Agriculture economists think
prospects point to the 1898 farm out
put being sold under improved demand
conditions. improvement in the ex-
port demand for pork products was
regarded as another favorable factor.
Livestock numbers ON farms are
low compared with pre-drought years.
In Illinois and Iowa many farmers are
starting their own herds of beef COWS
and will produce their own calves. in
stead of buying them from Western
ranches.

PRICES ADVANCE
0NCRUDE RUBBER
Shows Greatest UpsWing of
Any Commodity Except
Raw Silk.
BY ]. G. DONLEY.
Dispatch to The Star.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Next to raw
silk, crude rubber has had the largest
percentage advance since the begin
ming of 1888, its rise Of IA per cent or
50 contrasting with declines Of over 80
per cent in wheat, 1914 per cent in
sugar and 93 per cent in corn.
Rubber is a controlled commodity,
and control has achieved varying de-
grees Of success at various times, in a
rather jerky manner. But that does
not tell the whole story. The course
of rubber prices has not been steadily
upward since the first of the year. In
fact. the price curve for spot smoked
sheets at this center forms a wide
topped "U," with the second leg higher
than the first. Before it worked
higher, the price dipped more than 3
cents under the average weekly level
Of about 147s cents in January,
reached bottom in May and currently
Is above l6 cents, or about 2 cents un-
der the level prevailing a year ago.
Rubber presents the interesting
anomaly Of price rise while con-
sumption has decreased. In the first
seven months of this year domestic
consumption was 429 per cent under
the like period last year, and total
world consumption was 26.1 per cent
under, according to statistics compiled
by A. b. Tatistcheff, chief statistician
OF the Commodity Exchange, Inc. As
against this decline in use of rubber,
however, there were set up two con-
structive factors in the price situa-
ton. The International Rubber Reg
ulation Committee reduced the allow
able shipments for the third quarter
to Is per cent from the so per cent
effective during the second quarter
Tire and tube manufacturers sharply
curtailed output, bringing their inven-
tories down to relatively low levels
The result was that stocks of crude
and finished rubber went into a de.
cline.
With the commodity in an improved
statistical position, along came the
abrupt rise in the stock market. rails

mand for motor cars in the autumn
