Curb on Beef Prices
Jams Market With
Lighter Cattle
Producers Ship Steers
Rather Than Feed
To High Finish
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,


CHICAGO, May 30.-Imposition
Of price ceilings on beef has had
one pronounced effect on cattle pro-
ducers-instead of feeding their
steers to a high finish they are
sending them to market as COM
mon and medium grade offerings
AS result the cattle market this
week was swamped with the largest
run Of steers and yearlings since
1882. Prices broke sharply in most
classes, although COWS and bulls,
which were comparatively scarce,
showed independent strength.
The rush to market was in direct
contrast with action earlier this
month. when producers cut their
shipments drastically prior to the
date wholesale ceilings became eff
fective The confusion then appar-
ent has disappeared and producers
seem to have decided that it will be
Improbable to produce top quality
stock.
Hardships Foreseen.
The Department of Agriculture.
surveying the situation, admitted
that ceilings may cause hardships
for some producers, particularly
those who recently have purchased
feeder cattle at high prices on the
basis of an expected further ad-
vance in finished cattle prices"
With ceilings on beef. meat pack
ers contend they are not justified in
paying as much as SIT a hundred
pounds for choice steers. and they
haven't done it. Livestock men
pointed out that, with the incen-
tive for producing choice cattle re-
moved, the prime steak may become
somewhat scarce.
Steer and yearling quotations
this week were down Is to IS cents
Medium grades received most sup
port, losing only about IS cents. An
extreme top of $16.25 was paid for
choice to prime 1,417 averages. Bulls
gained IS to so cents. hitting a new
record high at $12.25.
Hogs Stage Recovery.
After declining for most Of the
week, hogs staged a substantial rally
on Friday to close on gains of about
10 TO Is cents. Top price on Friday
was $145O, only IS cents under the
16-year peak scored In mid-April
Sheep and lambs drifted so cents

Ever-NormaI Granary
To Be Crowded by
1912 Harvest
Nation to Have About
Two Yeors' Supply
At Seasons End
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN.


CHICAGO, May 30-The national
ever normal granary, bulging with
wheat, may have to encompass more
than 700-million bushels when har-
vesters have finished with the 1912
crop, grain trade statistics indicated
today.
This would be about half the all
time record supply in sight
Roughly, it means that enough
wheat to fill the Nations domestic
requirements for a full year will be
tied up within the ever-normal
granary to support prices with an
equal amount free" to meet nor
NAL consumption demands.
With more wheat held back on
farms and in country storage than
ever before, because Of the scarcity
OF space at terminals, the national
stock of wheat, enough for two
years domestic needs providing the
1912 crop turns out as expected now,
will be distributed about as follows,
free, ever normal granary and total
oarryover stocks, 210,0o0,ooO. '420.-
OOO, 900, $50, 900 600.
New crop, 5OO,O0O0Oo. 100000. GOO,
'o9SsY'"YH6 Tossl 10000 900. 7ao 900. 14so.-
including about $40. ooo. 900 owned
under loan.
These are only rough estimates
subject to weather conditions and
1912 production, but give an idea
of the situation faced.
The Government has announced
it will grant loans on new wheat at
IS per cent of parity.
On this basis the loan rate for No
grades in Chicago would be
around 81 80 bushel, or more than
dime over the current market
Grain men said this should prove
attractive enough to eligible pro-
ducers, provided prices do not rise
sharply the next month or so.
Calculations shown in the table
above suggesting 300, 900 900 bushels
Of 1912 wheat may be put into loar
are predicated, of course, on the
likelihood that prices do not 60 sc

tractive.
With a 194l harvest only slightly
larger than the one now in pros
pect, farmers last year obtained
loans on almost 800, 900 900 bushels
even though prices during most o1
the season have been above the loar
rates, which were $1.15 basis Chi
cago for No. 2 grades.
Should 00,0O0,000 bushels bt
stored, this would leave about 500,'
000, 900 bushels free, which, with the
free" carryover Of about 10000, ,00t
bushels would be just about enough
wheat for normal domestic require
ments and curtailed rate of export
Increased consumption of wheat
through livestock feeding or manu-
facture OF alcohol would be met
from Government-controlled stocks
since price subsidies are needed
to encourage use for these purposes
Wheat prices declined about q

for the past six months, July clos

What OTHERS DO FOR
RHEUMATIC PAINS

Sore, aching muscles are now
past memories for thousands of
people who use RUX Compound
(liquid) to relieve promptly the
simple but SO aggravating muscu-
lar and rheumatic-like pains
DON'T WASTE YOUR
TIME SUFFERING!
RUX Compound is not a liniment
or messy salve. On the contrary it
combines tried and true ingredi-
ents to relieve pains actually inside
(where the pains actually are)
That's why Relief in many in
stances is SO quick and effective
that sufferers are astonished! Even
Doctors say, mo Better Compound
can be made today to safely relieve
rheumatic pain suffering!"
The few cents day you invest
in RUX Compound is nothing COM
pared to the agreeable prompt re-
lief you may experience. So RE
SOLVE to get your RUX Compound

We Must Produce

The war news up to date has not been favorable to
the allies cause. There is dsputng the fact that
Germany and Japan thus far have been the more
cessful These things prove that We really in
peril and it is going to be hard struggle to win,
and in order to do so must produce and we must
sacrifice We have the wherewithal with which to
win but it must be turned in the right direction.
Appropriating billions Of dollars is thing that
is not difficult matter, but the infinitely diff
fcult task is to those billions into instruments
OF war but do it. America has the industrial
machinery What nation is rich in resources and
machines-motor plants, the coal and metal Mines
oil fields, electric and water power, plane makers
steel mills transportation agencies and thousands of
other enterprises which together constitute indus
trial empire that cannot be matched in the world
and we have the power with which to carry on;
also products of the farms with which to feed the
men in the service These things what free enter
prise has given us and we them to the fullest
and that without waste.
This is no time for strikes plants making defense
materials, and workers there should be the same
footing soldiers in the army, and know what
would happen the soldier who deserts his post and
refuses to do his duty.
Think what it would mean to fail in this

will be restored-if lose, the sacrifices and free
