SEPTEMBER WHEAT | I Last week closed future trading in wheat on the Minneapolis Chamber of: ; Commerce. . exchange, = The , Chicago board: of trade was;closed so far. as. wheat trading was concerned, a week, . earlier. s The week’s proceedings in September wheat at Minneapolis indicated that the speculators had a. good idea, some days in advance of the farmers, that the, government price-fixing board would settle. on a figure of $2.20 at Chicago for No. 1 northern, which means $2.17 at Minneapolis. Through- out the week the price of September options ranged from $2.131% to $2.17. Prices of September wheat a year ago at this time were around $1.50. The following table shows the range of price up so September 1 and how closely the traders “guessed” at the price board’s action: September Wheat—Minneapolis High | Low | Close August 27 +(2.14 [2.13%(2.13% August 28 . .|2.17 (2.13%12.17 August 29 .|2.16 12.15%(2.15% August 30 .12.17 |2.15 |2.16 August 31 . .12.17 [2.16 |2.17 The settling price on September wheat at Chicago was fixed at $2.13. i CASH WHEAT | 0 Last week’s cash wheat market open- ed at Minneapolis with receipts of 496 cars, the largest receipts for "many weeks. Derhand was brisk as the mill- -ers had large orders for flour, which they wanted to deliver before govern- ment price-fixing became operative, and ‘No. 1 northern brought all the way from $2.35 to $2.55. At the same time many local elevators were buying wheat from North Dakota farmers around $1.80, telling them that the price-fixing board probably would fix & price of about $1.65. After the millers had satisfied their demands for immediate needs the price slumped off till No. 1 -northern was bringing only $2.25 to $2.30. There were slight pickups in price until the result of the price-fixing board’s work was announced. The cash prices ob- taining at the end of the week, with a _light demand, were: No. 1 Northern ....... to $2.40 No. 2 Northern to 2.35 No. 3 Northern to 2.30 No. 4 Northern to 2.25 " FLOUR AND MILL FEEDS ‘ P ke S e i A R Flour shipments during the week were comparatively light. As compar- ed with a year ago they were: Last week Year ago AaY T 6169 69,597 iy i 1150732 72,902 Wednesday 185,320 85,952 Thursday .. 158,208 56,554 FrAAY o osnes BRI 51,133 75,406 TR 360,411 Prices for first grade patent flour were $12.80 to $13 at the beginning of the week and took a jump to $13.20 at one time. Evidently in view of the proposed reduction of profit to 25 cents a_barrel, the price took a sharp glump toward the end of the week, when first patents could be had for $12.10 to-$12.30. The food administration’s expecta- tion that a limitation of profit on mill feeds to 50 cents per ton would work marked reductions in the price of feeds (ADVERTISEMENTS Fish for Sale Direct'to Consumers We quote freshly aught and acked % Take Superior Herring % (family Whitefish) 6.50 per 100-1b. keg, .$3 76 per b60-lb. keg, 2.00 per 20-1b. paijl.

The market closed last week with prices von the; Minneapolis- market as follows: Red dog, $56 to $57; bran, $27.75 to $28.25; flour middlings, $46 to $47; standard middlings, $33 to $34. CORN, OATS, FLAX, RYE i @__~_ One result of the announcement of the $2.20 price for wheat was an im- mediate advance of the corn market. ‘While best grades were stationary at around $1.90 early in the week the $2.20 wheat price shot them up to $1.98 with corresponding increases in lower grades. The oats market has been the sur- prise of the week. Receipts were very light and shorts were hard put to cover the options they had sold. The surprising feature was that December options ran only about 1 to 11 cents less than cash oats.. This resulted in one firm, which evidently was short, sending out word to country elevators urging farmers to sell their oats im- mediately and buy December options instead, thus getting the use of their money immediately and virtually stor- ing their oats until December at a cost of one cent a bushel. During the week No. 2 white Montana oats advanced from 58 to 61 3-4, standard from 53 to 56 3-4. Flaxseed is finding a ready market at Duluth. Prices at the end of the week were $3.51 on September deliveries, $3.46 on October and $3.4214 on Novem- ber. September rye closed at $1.68. i LIVESTOCK : i The reason for the drop in prices on cattle and the remarkable increase in hogs is shown by the following com- parison of receipts at South St. Paul last month and a year ago: August Cattle Calves Ho shéep 1917 78,187 17,641 50,037 18,527 1916 70,671 17,130 84,658 21,817 The poor crop continued the hasten- ing of common cattle to market, many in poor condition for sale. The market was draggy and the constant tendency was downward. The announcement of probable reduced prices on millfeeds slowed. the rush to market only slighly. Following were representative sales at the end of the week: Beef Steers—2, 1,030 1lbs., $8.50; 1, 1,030 Ibs., $8; 3, 843 lbs., $7.75; 1, 920 Ibs., $6.50; 6, 593 Ibs. $6; b, 532 Ilbs., $5.75; 1, 590 1bs., $5. Butcher Cows and Heifers—1, 1,000 1bs., $8.50; 1, 700 Ibs., $7; 2, 850 lbs., $7; 1, 1.040 1bs., $7; 2, 715 lbs., $6.75; 1, 850 1bs., $6.50; 1, 780 Ibs., $6.25; 1, 770 Ibs., $6.25. | ’ i Cutters and Canners—1, 960 lbs., $6; "2, 805 lbs., $5.75; 3, 1,030 Ibs., $5.75;.3, 526 Ibs., $5.50; 1, 1.060 1lbs., $5.25; 1, 910 1bs., $5. : i e Butcher Bulls—2, 1,070 Ibs., $6.25; 1, 820 lbs., $6; 7, 607 lbs., $6; 3, 586, Ibs,, $6; 1, 720 lbs., $6; 2, 725 lbs., $5.60. . Veal Calves—15, 152 1lbs., $14.50; 4, 177 lbs., $12; 2, 140 lbs., $11.75; 5, 100 1bs., $10; 8, 158 Ibs., $9; 3, 110 lbs., $8. Top notch prices of $18 a week ago led to something of a rush to market of hogs and as a result prices were knocked down a total of $2, one day alone seeing the price knocked down $1. This stopped the shipments and prices started to go up again. At the end of last week hogs were selling from $17.10 to $17.60, the bulk of the sales being made between $17.25 and $17.40. The sheep market has been quiet. At the close of the week prices ranged as follows: ; Top lambs, $16; seconds, $12.50; ewes, $8 to $9.50; wethers, $10. el HERE,'S LOGIC Fix .a fair price on what the farmer has to buy, and he won’t object so strenuously to the fixing of an unfair price on what he has to sell—PAL- LADIUM, Bismarck, N.
