Y- @, - —_e v v ] L Y EEET N Ea . % v ® Speculative wheat gained 11 to 14 cents at Minneapolis and 3 to 7 cents at Chicago last week, preceding its final retirement from the field, Septem- ber 1. At Chicago trading closed faturday, and the enly deals of the week were reported to be “evening up” gales. The Chicago board of trade was to fix a price before the government takes over the wheat trading, at which September contracts between traders were to be closed out. At Minneapolis stimulus to the fu- tures market was apparently due to the increased cash demand due to the pressure for flour, to which pressure some mills yielded and increased their purchases of wheat. ) Cash wheat was selling at $2.50 for the No. 6 grades.to as high as $2.70 for the No. 1 grades last week, millers making but small distinctions between different grades, for grinding purposes. The big rush of grain to market was in striking contrast to the slender fig- ures of a year ago, and the quality of the present crop was said to be better than any for several years. ¥ September Wheat Minneapolis| _Chicago High| Low | High | Low August 20 ......[2.08 [2.04 [2.05 [2.05 August 21 . .12.13 (2.10 |2.10 |3.07 August 22 . .[2.18 |2.10 2.04 2.10 August 23 ......|12.16 [2.14 ]2.07 [2.0414 August 24 ......[2.19 [2.18 |2.12 .08 f LIVESTOCK | — % Slim pastures everywhere through- out the stock-raising regions last week drove thousands of head of cattle to market, continuing the increase in re- ceipts over those of the corresponding period last year. The weekly receipts at South St. Paul have for several months been larger than they were for the corresponding weeks last year. In feeding cattle there was .a little more stimulus last week, but specu- lators were able, from the compara- tively heavy receipts to select from, to cut prices to sellers. - This was satis- factory to outside buyers whe had the feed to finish them with, and they took them in more liberal quantity than they have have generally done this season. Apparently the continued sluffing of cattle by farmers short of feed, has brought out the corn belt feeders, and, taking the cattle at prices that attend heavy selling, they figure they can feed them to advantage. Herbert Hoover announced last week the nation and the world are facing heavy meat shortages for several years to come. Hogs hit the sky last week in a series ADVERTISEMENTS Let’s Go!

Cash corn of the No. 3 yellow $1.75, and the lowest grades quoted were $1.50 and upward. Something of a scare was thrown into corn gamblers when reports of cold weather from the center of the corn growing section reached Chicago. Danger of early frost that will bite into the going estimates severely is strong. Generally favorable growing condi- tions, however, have prevailed of late, with good scattering rains to help out. | December May / High| Low | High | Low August 20 ......|1.087%/1.055/1.07351.03% August 21 ......]|1.097%/1.07%/1.08 ~|1.063% August 22 ......{1.08%1.06% 1.07 [1.05% August 23 ......11.08% 1.07%]1.07-»;;’1.053/, August 24 ......[1.10%5]1.08%]1.08%]1.063% 5 FLOUR | - —® Though wheat has declined, flour prices were still arbitrarily maintain'- ed by the Minneapolis millers who con- trol the principal supply. Millers last week continued to refuse to fill orders for flour, except in a few cases, al- - though the demand for it has been strong for several weeks. They are still waiting for the government to set low wheat prices, which would enable them to hold “their flour at present prices and add a big percentage to their profits. More mills were in operation last week than for many weeks, despite the general refusal of the grinding indus- try to fill orders, and shipments again last week climbed above those of the previous week about 66,000 barrels in the Minneapolis market.
