MARKET IS IRREGULAR
 IN TRADING
Grains Swing Generally as Cotton Drops : Big
 Question Arises

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-tR-Prices were irregular in the commodity and security markets today after one day "breather" in observance of Lin colns Birthday.
 Grains showed widely divergent tendencies. Corn swung down as much as the full limit at the start, but wheat and oat deliveries were steady to slightly higher Corn pric- es subsequently, came back from the lows
 Cotton fell almost S4 bale at New York. Shortly after the opening. however, mills began buying and there was rebound that brought the price about $2 above the lows at the start.
 At New Orleans, cotton as SIPS to $260 a bale lower.
 Stocks were irregular and activ- ity was moierate. Price changes were small
 At Chicago, sellers were holding hogs at about yesterdays prices of $23.75 to $2425 a hundred pounds. The lest bid shortly after the open ing was $2350.
 The question in economic and poll itical circles was whether the prob lem was imitation or deflation.
 President Truman saw in the re- cent commodity price drops a step in the right direction. But inflation- ary dangers have not been removed by the market decline, he said.
 Republican National Chairman Carroll Reece said the downward trend in commodity prices was what Republicans had expected would happen once normal forces were permitted to operate
 The National Association of re- tai grocers surveyed independent food stores and found price cuts ranged from 10 cents a pound in ba- con and porkchops to 4 cents a pound in hamburger. Flour, lard, butter and eggs were lower in many stores.

 All Kinds of losses
(By The Associated Press)

Another came sailing up from a Southern Strong hold Of his own Democratic party On the side, two candidates for the COP Presidential nomination differed publicly over how generous this country should be in helping Europe.
 The added attraction featured Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Senator Taft of Ohio.
 Policy Gets Raking
 Both gave the Truman foreign policy a severe raking, but they split in their discussion of the Marshall Plan.
 Dewey told a Boston Lincoln Day audience the foreign policy should be thrown overhoard-lock, stock and barrel" Taft, speaking at St. Paul, blamed it for the lcsing of the peace thus far.
 However, Dewey said it would be better to give the administra- tion all it has asked for spending under the Marshall Plan than to limit it with an amount which night fail to do the job
 Taft insisted that foreign aid spending should be held to essen tial food and industrial pump priming.
 Stassen Talks
 Former Governor Harold E. Stas- sen of Minnesota, who also is run ming for the Republican nomina- ton. said in Germantown, Pa, he thinks the Marshall Plan should be carried out as finally developed under the leadership of Senator vandenberg (R-Mich).
 California's Governor Earl War rent, who also aspires to the White House, told his Republican listen CTS at Los Angeles that if the COP wants to follow Lincoln it should be the party of the poor and rich alike.
 The new outburst by Southern Democrats who have been steam ing over civil rights proposals rom the White House came at Jackson, Miss
 There were 5000 party members called for a conference of all true white Jeflersonian Demo- crats" to consider withholding the south's electoral vote from MT. Truman in November.

 MOSCOW, Feh. 13-P-Pravda told the Russians today that the British Flag is being taken down all over the British zone of Germany and the Stars and Stripes raised in- stead, as Americans "uake over" the Ruhr and other British administer ed areas.
 A Munich dispatch printed in the Communist paper asserted the Uni ted States is continually buying in to Ruhr mines and German factor ies and otherwise assuring itself permanent footholds in the German economy. The Americans are turn ing back industrial firms to former Nazis, Pravda said.

WASHINGTON When the first friendship Train finished it's run across the country, Henry Kaiser, who acted as special conductor on the New York Central division, suggested that one way to solve European relief was to let the American people run a series of friendship Trains from different parts of the country.
 My reaction was that it could rot be done. In the first place, the job seemed too tremendous. Second, I thought we had imposed enough on the railroads for free freight. Finally and selfishly. l told Henry that my office had been turned topsy-turvy by the job of running one Friendship Train. that was a physical wreck from riding on it, and that didn't see how any more trains could be organized.
 However, Henry Kaiser was right. Even as we talked, the Wichita Eagle and other energetic citi- zens of the Southwest had organ ized special wheat section of the Friendship Train. Simultaneously

Stock Notes by Gill

A NEW HEREFORD class offered
at the North Montana State fair,
Great Falls, will be a class of five
Montana bred animals and at the
Midland Empire fair at Billings, the
Junior calf class will be open this
year for the first time. Both classes
are of distinct value to the average
breeder, especially those who find
it hard to come out with a full show
string.
While we were thinking IN terms
of show cattle, why not a show

straw, grain strbb1e, salt grass, or
other standing feed which is thick
enough to be sprayed, seems to be
the most practical method yet de-
veloped for feeding this material.
If just enough of this material is
sprayed out for a days feeding, so
the cattle are still hungry and con-
tinue to Craze, they do well. If it
is fed straight, the cattle tend to
gorge themselves and do not pick up
enough roughage to make a bal
anced feed.
Agricultural scientists say that
the new process Of spraying the
grain substitute is of the greatest
importance to the western part OF
the United States where the range

tein-deficient that it will not Garry

Approximately 400 head of saddle

Top price of the sale was $3.50
paid for a registered Palomino stall

from $165 to $685.. All popular

After using the bull for three years,
he offered the bull for sale to sew
eral of his neighbors at $500. No

local sales yard. The price-better
than $3.50. In other words the ba-

shows.
1t has been a long time since an
individual breeder in the state has
had a full string for these shows,
and it may be a long time before
any one breeder can swing the deal
alone, but with several grouping
their cattle into a strong unit, they
could go a long way toward bring
ing Montana into the place it should
r%ightfully have in the eyes of the
nations cattle industry.
The end of the month will see the
start of the annual fall livestock
marketing season. From now on
cowmen will be paying more and
more attention to market reports.
Last year at this time a large per-
centage of the cattle in this area
had been contracted. This year the
percentage is apparently much
smaller.
Contract buyers have thus far
been waiting to see which way the
market will turn, if turn it does.

a meaningless phrase, say they are
in the dark than ever, that
the market can change very sud-

are holding the guess bag.
