Wheat Receipts Heavy, But No C o rre-;spending Increase in Stock—CornSaid to Be Worth More Than.Pres-

” ent Prices—Narrow Range - v; in Oats.

Wheat prices shd# va firmer, tone during the past few days and quite a sharf) advance > was registered, probably caused by the growing ap- •' prehension in regard to the Wheat crop and the continued heavy clear­ances. Primarily receipts of whe&t since July 1st in the Chicago, m arket have been 295,400,000 bushels, or' ap-. yfjj proximately 112,000,000 bushels more than a year ago, but in spite of this * tremendous movement there has been ~ no corresponding increase in stocks. Wheat has been distributed a t a rapid rate in this country to supply the needs of mills and the exports have been and continue much larger than a 'year ago,. Minneapolis stocks, fp f ; ail the tremendou^ jreviexbts, are only:-'W about 2,000,000 bushels more than a .

' year ago, and stocks at St. Louis de- ; creased nearly as much • during Jan­uary as a year ago; when receipts < were mot one-quarter as lUrge as this .: year. Exports continue Heavy via tlfe ’? gulf, and prices « re not far frqm -

; Working basis. ' , . vi Reports. received from the north- west on Saturday said country re­ceipts had dropped off to practically .?]

■ nothing and while country elevators“ , have liberal stocks, 'sm aller arrivals at terminals are to be expected-. This ^ would s.eeni natural in view of the ; enormous marketings to date4. -Cash men look for a 7 continued good de& |S mand from the central and eastern >;ji states throughout the remainder of ^ the crop year. Consequently the sup- ^ ply and' demand conditions appear. ' quite evenly balanced^ with^crop ;jde- velopments promising to be thp deter­mining factor in making prices; . i

-In corn the chief influence has beefa ’ the Argentine news, the drought cou- tinuing in tha t country with prices a t; Buenos Aires scoring sharp advances. Local prices advanced sharply and on all the dips the market was given ;■ good support by - the bulls. Clear- . ^ anees are now showing up big. indi*; / | eating the big volume of business th a t ^ was done a few weeks ago and not ' reported. Prices a t the prreseuKtime Wjl are close to a working basis for com , for export, but the domestic trade ls rvs | quiet. \ ' • -

There has been an enormous /t amount of. corn saved from a feeding, \ standpoint by .the mild winter ;copdi- ; tions, which have eh*t)Ifed stook, to . be kept on pasture in many Sections. - . Moreover, the njuttbet of hogs is about 6% per-cent less than a year agp, and the number of dattle ' sfieep urb-/aiso less than a. year. $%<>• ' -

natural thing to do—they climb a tree;-¡ They have escaped the dog i-they are out o f his reach; but, “confound it,” remarks- Uncle Bill Qoon, “them aire dogs will keep’ up th e ir yelpings, until their master comes with his gUnr^and then

he will make use of the bright moonlight, and incidentally hjs gun.” Hay dealers, bean jobbers , and produce^ dealers gehetálly^. adopt

Uncle Bill Coon’s .plan of getting sure profit». W hen m arket condi­tions are serene ,* when the demand floats qu ietly over the supply, making a tem pting offer here and thqfe ; tbe.se, feliows- are veÌy 4)òi(Ì,

' A T B E O N E B rG v P A O |L Ê M . ; ; ^ ,> .To the Editor*.

I háve^Jast been rea^hig^ soine of ; the editorials and would like ;to.: add Some qï «iny ; experiépces- -, íC - ’ •

Last fall ‘ Vííén I yPP|BÌim; a peti- tiop. against ; the . réiprooíty bill, I ventured to: ask 'sonab of. the bank­ers to -sign; mereljNtb see what ans­wer theÿ would gite:’ . They '-didnTt sign', and' äff discüssioO. skid the farm-!. . erk werè getting too good, a thing afi : it . tfaß-t-that prices were top hig i*

and many times ventures even ont i nto- thè country, a wav from/ on farra-prpdúcó; call^ my attentiontheir elevators,.'to get a supply of the farm products. > I t’s i sj-irC shot for them ; if they cah get info the corn field they shre can fill their bellies. - " V-' C C ^ ,r'?

But occasionally the m arket weather is unsettled^ conditions ^Outside are_not exactly serene; the contrary winds persist in blowing

and an ^occasional howl from the' market dogs in the distant cities, are heard ; profits are somewhat uneertain-^and this is the time when the benevolent bean jobbers, th-e bold flay dealers and the wander-. ing elevator men stay right around the home m arket «place.

If a farmer appears, with something to sell. these feliows point their noses market-ward^’ let yiut a dismal howl—and i f they; take the farm products at allC il is at" mighty loyv prices, and with the understanding that« the transaction wa^ made w‘simply as a m atter of accommodation.” Aitd a second farmer folfows the first; tfcen' a third; and fourth, and '• . C !

TH E HAY BUYER, HE DID CLIMB A TREE.

> A half hundred hay buyers, right her.e in IVpehigan, ar^ now right up^.in the tree, hanging tightly to fhedim b, while hundreds of farmers ai*e'f beckoning ^them to come, down as they have hay- to sell. The “Pink Sheet” has xfeceived hundreds of letters during the p>st week, stating that “thg. local dealer^ will not even make' a price -on anything but. No. .1 hay; arid they scarcely grunt when they make

Tlie price on the best.” * * . * ' v y4 - * . ^The hay dealer fs^in the hay btisiiiBss-^tO nia,ke mohey, so we

can’t, blame him if. He takes to his heels, uhless lie^sees 'sure profit in the transaction. 'The flay situation this/Season has-'been: anything, but stable and encoufaging; but tha t doesn’t detract phje whit from ' the point w.e want tp make in.i.connectiori with th j» cobn story, Remember last year? Remember how the coon went out ipto th e . country and; contracted fo)f hay at ten dollars a;ton which was iRrortn eighteen dollars!thie moment the contract was signed?- - ' ; 5^

They dfd riot recognize the fact tha't th& .farrrier has any capital in- yestkd, but placed them equable ;srith the day labPrer. . • !- ;, 1. ~?M} !v, At another time I Was -attending

the ofB^ers’ . meeting ot tbe- Allegan County < Schools,' and the propPsition of . a farm expert was brdttght up ;: Everything seeme^;. to be running very smoothly until I arose" and asked if the farm- expert, was for the puK : posei pi^'educating-the farmer for his beneflt,-50.r. for The ’ if&rpose of lower­ing' |he »high. cost of -Mving. There was a little hesitation and ' a few- smoothing remarks ‘and the question , Was '■drppjgbd. j~ y

Now lTdon’t/know ag I have apy-U thing against the proposition of a farm expert..

BUTTER IH CHICAGO ANI) NEW YORK

NEW YORK QUOTES A LITTLÉ HIGHER PRICE—MARKET

IN GOOD SHAPE. -.

Chicago, Last Week’s Basis ' Holds- Sr Tone of the Market Healthy.

'■-* JL dispatch from New York says that the receipts of butter since May- 1 up to Saturday of last week were 4,887 629 packages against- 1,880,tig) the same period la s t yqar;;’ Receipts to r "the Week ending last Saturday were §7,529, compared with 43,621 packages thè same week a year ago. Receipts Monday, were 5,438, Tuesday 7,709, Wednesday 4,457, •'‘Thursday

,"7.896, 'Friday 3,490; * \Butter seems to be holding its -Own

in pretty good shape; Monday th e m arket. opened very firm and before hoop showed an advance jn*"priee alT along the line, which advance • was hòid later in the week. Business was generally done at 34^0 to 35c for creamery extras' and at times dealers could n«5t get enough stock at those prices to fill .their orders. Oc­casionally a slight.premium was paid for something very, fancy. The bulk of the butter coming grade®’as firsts and many, of the .troyèrs who itapè ex­tras as a rule are taking firsts, but thesjrange is wide and the fine butteri buyers are paying as high as '34c for the best firsts offered' while some of the receipts, of this grade will not sell for rhore than 31C.

Fancy storage creamery is firmly held. In fact, the storage butter s it­uation is in the pink /of condition/ Dealers will not part with - their .fine held extra for less than.*32t&c to. 33c, while firsts sell down as low as 29c •and up t a ‘3Ì%c. The main thing .iè to show samples of butter of fine qual­ity. That is wtyat th e trade \yants àfid what they »will pay" for. AH fresh

made butter coming ip is selling rap­idly a t quotations. .

Packing stock is steady and 2(fc .1«. 2016c for best, current ma^e. .is oh:

tained,: while held stock a t / times . makes as high as' 3£%c. ;

There was a noticeable, shortage-of- fancy table ^ibutter on ' the ,street

Wednesday and creamery extras ad­vanced to 3516c-to-36c Some Of..the.

Y-best buyers Who have , been working . on storage cannot use tha t now and : declare they vmust ha v e v fi n e f re si i
