AT LAST A MARKET PLACE FOR THE FAMERS OF NORTH DAEOTA A market place where over 60,000 farmers meet every week—look over their brother farmers’ offerings—AND BUY. It is located in the Nonpartisan Leader Classified columns, and is getting bigger and stronger every week. What cou{.d be a better sign of success? Have you reoei?ed your share of the benefits? If not you have neglected to send your offerings to “the Market.” Seeds, Poultry, Livestock, Farm Machinery—all are finding lots of buyers in the Leader Classified columna. Write an ad now. Do not miss another issue of the paper— you will be the loser. Mention Leader when writing advertisers Markets LIVESTOCK SUMMARY Very light receipts of all kinds of cattle and stiff prices for hogs were the only features of last week’s market at South 8t. Paul. In the hog line, every- thing good and heavy ranges from $11.25 and up to close to $12, and fat spring lambs that would make choice cuts are bringing $14 and close to that, with other grades of sheep in strong demand. The blizzards and tieups of trainsg made the stockyards a dull place much of the week. Farmers and shipping associations declined to put stock into cars for the kind of a trip in prospect most of the time. There were days when the packers were almost unable to buy beef and even hogs. ‘ Good fat steers, of which the propor- tion was slight, were in the lower grades of killing material, second rate + steers and bulls. A few choice wveal calves brought $13, but these amounted to no more than a few wagon loads. The stocker and feeder business con- tinued to lag and few of the yard deal- ers were seeking cattle. WHEAT SUMMARY Submarine activity appeared to influ- ence the wheat market of the whole country last week and on the whole it was a week of small trading at Minne- polis, Chicago and elsewhere. There were some lively spurts lasting 15 min- utes to half an hour on, different days and it appeared as soon as these gave way there were some buyers willing to take everything. Jaded as the traders are with a sur- feit of war news and political news for making the prices go up or down, there were no big movements in the marketing observable throughout the country during the week. Someone is going to eat the wheat whether it goes to Europe or stays on this side of the Atlantic, and there is no buying factor now to declare that leaving the wheat in the United States is going to lower prices. There is believed to be a real scarcity facing the country now. * Crop reports came in for a little at- ‘tention. Kansas has had a cold spell and its winter crop endangered and Nebraska is similarly affected. Aus- tralia’s grain prospects are reported good. Snowbound trains kept actual wheat from arriving in Minneapolis in quan- tity last week and there were several dull days for the millers. It is said that 75 per cent of the mill capacity of the Twin Cities is idle. The flour trade was dull and car shortages were partly responsible. Shipments dropped down to but small fractions of what they were for the corresponding time a year ago. MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT FUTURES .

D., Jan. 27, 1917, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am glad to note the farmers of North Dakota are going to put the in- terest rate to 8 per cent. I hope South Dakota will do the same two years hence when the League will no doubt control. Since the farmets are coming more into their own, why not laws, state and federal, so we ‘can have plants for the manufacture of denatur- ed alcohol? When potatoes again be- come abundant and cheap and apples go to waste, convert them into de- natured alcohol This might help solve the problem of the increasing price of gasoline and kerosene.
