w CORN PRICES RUN UP BRISKLY' IN FACE OF | PURCHASING IN EAST Wheat Also Is Raised, Influenced * by Reports of Absence of Moisture Chicago, Jan. 27.—()—Corn prices | ran up briskly yesterday, and other | also advanced. Eastern buy- ing did much to hoist corn, and there bikes @ scarcity of future delivery of- | Unusual absence of mois- ture was reported over the sprin; wheat belt in addition to the deart! in winter crop sections. Corn closed unsettled. "4-1%4¢ high- er, May 66%4-%c, July 67 wheat at %-‘sc, gain, May 81%c, %e. Oats %-ige wp, and provisions unchanged to 10c off. Word that central Illinois creeks and springs never before known to have gone dry had failéd was a not- able bullish influence both as to wheat and corn. Friends of higher prices laid stress also on senate ac- tion looking to emergency relief use of 20,000,000 bushels of wheat owned by the Grain Stabilization corpora- tion. There were indications, too, that overnight export business in North American wheat was of fairly liberal volume, and that Argentine shippers were unwilling to accept any further the low price levels of the Jast_ week. Corn developed strength _ faster than did wheat. A trade authority said official estimates of a reduction in grain consuming units of livestock was less than one per cent compared with a year ago, whereas production of feed grains was 11.5 per cent less and hay production was 16.5 per cent less. Primary arrivals of corn were 639,000 bushels, against 734,000 a week ego and 1,056,000 at this time last year. Oats derived firmness from other cereals. Provisions tended upward with grains. WHEAT FUTURES RALLY SLIGHTLY Minneapolis, Jan. rallied eg Sentiment was a little more friendly and there was some mill buying. Shorts covered freely on the first dip and rallied prices a cent or more. May closed unchanged and July %s-%4c higher. There was not much action in coarse grains. Flax opened lc lower and held dull at the decline. Cash wheat was slow but the farm board agency stepped in and took large quantities at unchanged bids. Winter wheat was unchanged. There was a shade improvement in the dur- um market. Cash corn demand was fair and offerings moderate. Oats demand was quict to good depending on quality. Rye demand was steady with offei ings light. Barley of medium qual- ity was slightly firmer. Flax tone was easier and slower with offerings light. SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK South St. Paul, Jan. 27.—(P)—(U. S. D.

Diamond, Helena, senior agricultural statisti- of many grain farmers and sheep men as critical but critical largely in terms of what 1931 may or may not bring in the way of yields and prices. “Given a favorable prospect for 1931 most of these men would pull out as they have done before,” he said. _ A movement of 51,900 cars of grain in the first quarter of 1931 compared to 48,136 the same period in 1930 was forecast in a report of the grain com- mittee by P. F. Schunemann. This forecast was a composite of four separate forecasts as follows: Shipments of wheat, tye and flax to Minneapolis and Duluth-Superior of 19,100 cars; shipments of corn, oats, and barley to Minneapolis and head of the lakes, 8,500 cars; shipments of all grain by rail out of the Twin Citics and nead of the lakes of 15,300 cars, and carloads of feed and seed elsewhere’ in the district of 900 cars. Wheat Marketing Rapid “The marketing of wheat from the four states was more rapid than ever before during the first few weeks of the crop yeer, but slower marketing during October and portions of No- vember and December parily offset an earlier rapidity of marketing,” the grain report said. “The peak of grain marketing was passed this year without congestion either at terminal elevators or at This was partly due to an increase of 16,000,000 bush- els in the capacity of terminal eleva- tors,” the report continued. | Country elevators in the four states | Dec. 1 were filled to about 59 per cent of capacity. Reports to the grain committee showed country elevators held 25,900,000 bushels of wheat, 2,- | 500,000 bushels of rye, 1,600,000 bush- els of flax, 600,000 bushels of corn, 6,200,000 oushels of oats, and 3,700,000 bushels of barley. i Another high reoord for rail trans- portation of livestock was established during 1930 throughout the region, the livestock and packing house pro- cucts committee reported. Railroad carriers were able to furnish cars when needed and no snow blockades were experienced, due to mild weath- er. . The committee cited figures by Paul H. Kirk, federal agricultural statisti- cian at St. Paul, showing livestock moved to market from Minnesota g@uring 1929 compared with prelimin- sry estimates for 1930. In 1930 there ‘were 569,502 cattle compared to 587,- 753 in 1929; calves, 605,716 in 1930 against 600,704 for 1929; hogs, 4,571,- 697 this year compared to 4,398,095 in 1929, and 601,734 sheep in 1930 com- Pared to 499,792 in 1929. Dairy Decrease Small . “Refrigerator car requirements for the handling of dairy products tor the first quarter af 1931 will require approximately 4,800 cars. which is about 3% per cent less than for the first quarter of 1930,” the dairy pro- Cucts committee reported. “The make than 1930, receipts of eggs show an increase of around 3 per cent while or dressed poultry there is a short- age of around 3 per cent.” Decreases in of cement, lime and piaster, lignite in North Da- kota, farm machinery, crushed sand and gravel was forecast by com- mittees on those commodities, while hipping instructions for flour are fa Fully ‘tWo-thirds of the flaxseed 31 | | jv |ents in the first skirmish aligned on we {balance of the winter, stock should |but otherwise appointed as acting come through in good condition, he | 's | cian, reported the financial situation |Cidental death or injury to passengers jin their machine, except under cer- jSusceptible to advances of bootleggers ;provision, was adopted when the vote the committee on flaxseed and relat- eG products reported. The remaining third probably will move in any quantity, due to present low prices and the general report that some farmers are using the seed for feed. | Oil sales are fairly brisk, but the vol- ume of movement will not be quite up to last year, the report stated. Neither improvement nor slump was experiericed in the iron and steel ity pointed out. ‘Though shipments now are.very light, predictions are that the total movement during 1931 will exceed in volume shipments of last. year, but that the rate of pro- duction in the iron and steel trade would control the movement. Western Area to Go Back to Old Time Basis Soon ‘Continued trom page one) nullify committee work and they might as well ‘be abolished. A vote showed 54 in favor of plac- ing the bill in General Orders and 43 against, with members of both fac- tions voting contrary to their leaders. The second dispute found oppon- one side. The bill involved was one reducing sheriff's mileage fees from 20 cents to 15 cents a mile. The or- iginal bill specified a reduction to 10 cents but after a compromise in com- mittee at 15 cents it was presented with a recommendation for passage. Trouble started when T. D. Ache- son, Nonpartisan, moved that the em- ergency clause be dropped. Acheson argued there was a moral obligation in that sheriffs had campaigned and accepted office on the assumption that 20 cents was to be the mileage fee. He held the amount: was not too much, considering conditions under which the sheriffs operate. Twete, Nonpartisan, and sponsor of the bill, opposed this plea, as did H. F. Niewoehner and R. E. Strutz also Nonpartisans. The emergency clause carried when a poll was taken. Offers New Amendment Strife began anew immediately aft- erward when Twete sought to amend the bill, making the mileage fee 13 there was a wave of economy sweep- ing over the house, which, although commendable, was getting out of reason. Twichell and Van Berkom supported Acheson's viewpoint. stat- ing there was moral obligation to be considered and endeavored to show that mileage expenses of sheriffs could not be compared fairly with those of other officers, who generally traveled only in favorable weather. Swett also supported the sheriffs. protesting it was better to have an officer well paid than to place him in a position where he would be more and other law-breakers. The majority report of the commit- tee recommending a reduction to 15 cents, together with the emergency was taken. Four measures relating to univer- sity and school lands were introduced by Representative H. L. Halvorson. Ward county. Make Marriage Easier W. W. Treffry, Eddy county, of-; fered a bill which would permit per- sons not ordained in the ministry pastors by their respective confer- ences, to solemnize marriages. ~ Automobile owners would be re- lieved of responsibility in cases of ac- tain conditions, in a measure pro- posed by D. L, Peters, Pierce county. Only in cases of intoxication, wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the owner, driver, or persons responsible for operation of the ve- hicle, would the owner be liable. An anti-vivisection measure was in- troduced by H. F. Niewoehner, Mc- Henry county. Under its provisions it would be unlawful to experiment or operate in any manner upon any liv- ing dog, cat or bird for any purpose save for healing or curing. Re-enactment of the law providing for refunds by the state hail insur-| ance depariment to hail tax purchas- ers and persons paying hail taxes for which they were not liable is con- tained in a bill introduced by John H. Lamb, Slope county. Urge Poor Study A concurrent resolution requesting the state judicial council to make a survey and study of poor relief laws and conditions was recommended for passage by the house judiciary com- mittee Tuesday. The resolution, introduced by Rep- resentative F. G. Fneeland, Stuts- man county, provides that the judi- cial council make a report of its find- ings at the next legislative assembly. Two bills also were recommended for passage by the judiciary commit- tee. One requires all bond issues of all state political subdivisions shall mature serially. The other provides that all four degrees of forgery shall be punishable by jail sentences of not more than one year in a county jail and not more than 10 years in the state penitentiary. Action on a bill providing for com- bining offices of county judge and clerk of district court in counties of less than 10,000 population was de- ferred to allow taking of a poll from counties affected to learn their atti- tude on the question. A bill remov- ing the emergency provision of the present law covering issuance of checks also was deferred for further consideration.

The best available information is that Moe will not be reappointed, al- keep the Valley City man in office. Moe took office in 1925 and has served continuously since that time, having the longest service of any highway commissioner in the recent} history of the state. He was last ap- pointed by A. G. Sorlie, then gov- ernor, in 1927 for a four-year term. During his incumbency Moe has | made many friends among the I. V. A.’s in Cass county and other parts of the Red river valley. These have recently been bombarding the gov- ernor with telegrams demanding that Moe be reappointed, Moe's friends! having taken this method of attempt- ing to induce the governor to keep him on the highway commission. Slope Wants Recognition From down in the southwestern cor- ner of the state has come sustained from that section. It is the I. V, A.’s rather than the Nonpartisans of the region who have voiced the request and it is they whom the governor may offend if he ignores their appeal. | At the same time there are other | candidates from other sections and sideration. A list of the names under consideration is known only to the governor and his close advisors.

As an antidote to the anticipated introduction of the Bonzer bill, Sen- ators Ployhar and Cain today offered @ bill to change the highway commis- sion law to relieve the governor from serving on the board. At present the chief executive is the ex-officio chair- man and, because of the fact that he appoints the other members, the acknowledged boss. The new bill and the Bonzer bill presumably will be presented to the same committee and at about the same time. As a result, a warm battle in committee is expected with the probability that the new bill, rather than the Bonzer bill, will be favored | there. There remained a strong possi- bility, however, that the Bonzer bill would be favored when the fight comes to the senate floor. The Ployhar-Cain bill is different | from the proposed Bonzer bill in that all commissioners would have an equal voice in the highway .depart- ment’s affairs except that one would be designated as executive officer, holding a position similar to that now fairs approved for passage a measure empowering the e1 commis- sion to make transfers from one fund to another in the same state depart- ment until June 30, 1931. The sen- ate committee also considered a measure compelling hospitals exempt from taxation to admit for practice any physician in good standing, but no decision was reached.
