Box 938, Reference: Markets GRAIN GAMBLERS' GROAN Fear that the government might set a maximum limit to the price of wheat, took all the joy out of life for the traders last week. Armed with the certainty that there is not much wheat to throw away, and that it is all out of the farm- ers’ hands and in their own, they started the week with the sky for the lifit, but immediately the bearish rumor that the government might respond to the wide- spread demand and limit prices krfocked 23 cents off the top at one blow, and the best recovery that could be made, left futures ranging 14 to 18 cents below the opening. The_ Chicago board of trade stopped all new buymg for future delivery for 48 hours in a further groping about for some way to control wildcat speculation, and head off government interference. The next day there was a further drop of 19 cents, on the following day again a further drop of 24, and on Thursday 16 cents more at the extreme limit. On some of these days there were slight re- actions that left the net loss for the day a little smaller than the extreme drops -indicated. The bears had the best of it for four days, but there was little dumping of wheat in spite of the big declines, those who had the grain in elevators, shrewdly keeping hold of it, and making but few efforts to sell the imaginary article. Usually there is_a big ‘‘dumping’” move- ment with big downward drops, but not so last week. On Friday the bulls rallied, and with the rumor (perhaps founded, perhaps not) that the government is su- pervising the cross-country movement of wheat from the Pdcific coast, the big Chicago and Minneapolis traders used this as a hint of a continued shortage of actual grain and started the price upward, ‘With this bull rumor went the first " truth about the spring wheat crop that has thus far received notice on the ex- changes, namely that the hard wheat belt is not going to produce a large crop, perhaps not even a normal crop this year, owing to the water that stood on the land all last summer and prevented fall plow- ing, and still prevents the sowing of many fields that ordinarily produce spring wheat. The rumor that Argentine is going to embargo grain also was dug up again, and for one day, Friday, the bulls seemed to have regained control of the situation. Renewed rumors Saturday of impend- ing United@ States government action to put a stop to the grain speculation, quieted down the movement. It was said this country had requested foreign hold- ers of American futures to relinquish them, which would be one effective way of squeezing the wind out of wheat, and flour quotations; for with the immense bulk of futures held against the American crop of 1917 cancelled, speculation prof- its would collapse and trading would have to go back temporarily to a basis of sup- ply and demand, the supply being what will be produced this season, now grow- ing in the fields, still in the farmers’ - hands instead of in the hands of the speculators.

The packers entered boldly into competitiom with the feeder speculators, as though buying beef to fill orders already receivs ed, and prices went up and remaine strong all week at 25 to 35 cents over the previous week, The speculators-bought as much of the choice finishing cattle as they could get at prices which would give them their profit when ‘the stock are turned back to country buyers for fattening, but & good deal of thin stuff that would go for further feeding in normal times, went asg low grade killers direct to the packing houses. While there were plenty of country buyers looking over the offerings last week, there was not much buying, the fatteners apparently weighing the possie bility of getting their money back again after paving $8 to $9 for steers, feedin them on high priced grain and hay, an selling them a year from now. With this waiting and weighing attitude strong on the part of the farmer buyers, the speculators cut down their selections fro the receipts to only the best quality stu that would appeal to the few feeders, who make a speciaity of topping the market with fat. stock. Dairy cows continued to bring top prices. Many calves were offered and went as veal at around $13. A new record top price was made on hogs Monday, when $16.05 was paid for some choice lots, and a nickel more for a few extra choice individuals. Then the market dropped back to it 15.70, $15.85 spread for the best porkers, with strict culling of lighter weights and step-offs of around $1 for the decreasing weights. On two or three days there were un« usually good receipts of sheep, some clipped lambs bringing $14.50, a new top for that kind of meat. Mixed ewes and wethers of good flesh sold on Monday at $11.75, but for the last three or four days of the week, the run was about the same as usual with medium clipped lambs and a few wooled sheep of different classes bringing moderate money.

Oliver of the Consumers Battery Co,, are very much alike as far as care goes, and if ‘the motorist would learn to think of them both in the same way, he would save himself all kinds of trouble and disappointment. There is not a motorist in the coun- try who does not regard tire renewals as a perfectly legitimate expense and buys new tires as cheerfully as he buys gasoline. The storage battery is just as legitimate an expense. It ig“‘not designatéd to last- as long adg. the mechanical parts of the car nor should any man expect it. 5 Just as tires should be kept fully in- flated up to a proper pressure, SO & storage battery should be kept fully charged. A half-charged storage bat- tery is-not going to give any hetter service nor have any longer life than a half-inflated tire. Just as hard, rough riding overi poor roads causes stone bruises and cuts in tires, so it may cause a broken jar in a battery. This, of course, means that if broken jars are to be avoided, the battery must be firmly clamped down and the machine driven with the same amount of care. No motorist would attempt to run his machine, on a blown out tire nor should he try to' use his bhattery with one cell broken. A battery begins to wear out asisoon as it is made whether it is jn use or not. Deterioration in an unused bat- tery, however, is very slight, A second hand battery is no more salable than a second hand tire. No car owner, then should bring a tem- porarily inoperative battery to’ the dealer and want it exchanged for a new one, even if he is willing to “pay the difference.” If upon examination, it is not worth repairing, supply houses will allow its full scrap value toward the purchase of.a new bhattery.
