A-MUS Main Mil ONIONS PRICE NOV Country Shipper Is Stubborn ' Rr ruses to Ship When Demand Best : and Sends Later With Glut. By Hrmats'H. Cohen There Is seemingly nothing that the average country shipper like to do more than anything else than to do exactly opposite what his best friends and advis ers ask him to do. 5 For instance, the wholesale trade In country meats has implored the country shipper to send forward his veal calves for a number of weeks when prices were at the extreme mark, owing to the scant supply. The average shipper seemingly did not care a snap for this advice, not withstanding the fact that it was offered by the best informed men in the business and who had tha interest of the farmer shipper at heart. "- All this time . they were crying for calves there, waa practically nothing be ing offered. The trade was starved and prices went to an extreme record. Now seemingly all country interests have discovered that they, have dressed: calves to ship. -All are arriving at the same moment. The result is easy to forecast a lower market,, and none to blama except the shipper. Country shippers aftcf producers desir jngr information regarding markets should write the Market Editor, inclos ing a stamp. - Corn and Oats in Downward Trend By Jos. F. Pritohard Chicago, March -(I. N. B.) Corn showed but very little change for the day, March losing He; May waa -unchanged to H W He higher and July was unchanged. Cash tran sactions were 80,000 bushels corn and 100,000 bushels oats. Oats were mainly better, advancee being shown of H S He for the deferred months, while March waa unchanged.

The combined surplus of the 12 fed eral reserve banks has been Increased from S22,79.90l to S49,46,34t, it was" announced today, as the result of aa amendment to the federal reserve act recently enacted hy congress. : This more than doubling of surplus means, treasury officials said today, that tha board can bo an independent factor In relieving any money stringency that may arise during the period of recon struction. . . ; CREAMERIES PREPARE FOR FINISH I FIGHT IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST Great Differential' Between Butlerfal Values Gives Advantage to Some of Those. Who Have Connections Where the Buying Values Are Low. Great straatb. Is thews la the market for batter here bat a very dark eload kas appeared apoa the horizon aad nay develop wlthla a very short tine into one of the greatest fights for eoatrol of the creamery batter iadnttry that the Pacific Northwest has ever known." Big Interests appear to bo prepariag for this fight notwithstanding the pres ent strength of tha trade la generaL It appears Just at the moment as If this fight will bo staged principally at Port land aad oa Paget Sound bat other sec tions la the Paeirie Coast territory will likely become lavolved. Those with eonaeetloas la various Pa cific Slope cities appear to be getting Into the posltloa where they can do some fighting and stlU not ase any of their wa moaey la the conflict. For Instance while as high at 6e premium Is being paid for bntterfat over the price of hat ter la this Immediate seetlon, as low as Se-below the pries of batter is being paid for fat la tha latermoaatala coun tries sack as Salt Lake. This meaas that practically Se a poand more Is being paid for bntterfat here than la the Salt Lake sectloai the creameries having connections cn both plaees maknlg heavy profits la the latermoaatala country which they are able to ase la flghtlag competitors here. --While the trade in general is not at the moment anticipating any further material rise in the price' of print creamery butter, still the situation remains keenly firm. With cubes quoted as high at 62o A pound Tor extras, further advance of lc over the re cent high record, and with stocks so nominal that aales are made before arrival of the ex press wagons, the situation cannot be aaid to be otherwise than strong. If this condition was local there might be some criticism for the sharp advance of late but the strength was uniform all over the country. While most of the strength waa indicated for fresh creamery extras and there waa scarcely sufficient' of this stock available at any point to supply current needs, there was a fair improve ment in the call for storage- foods. For the latter class prices were firmer at a recent ad vance. COTTON OPENS HIGHER IN LINE WITH NEW LAW New York. March 6. (L X. 8.) Ope rat ing under the new Lever law governing contracts, the cotton market today opened active and gen erally higher. The opening range on old style contracts was from 85 points higher to 22 points lower except for April, which was bid up 150 points over the previous close before a seller could be found. From the scarcity and char acter of the early trade it would seem that the liquidation of old style contracts would be con summated rapidly. : The first sale of new style contracts on the opening call waa at 23.00. It dropped to 22.75 on subsequent sales, thus ruling about 100 points ever the old contracts. At the end of the tiret 25 minutes the market was still active, old styles being about 8 to 15 points net higher and new styles about 100 points down from the open ing on May and 25 off on July. The close waa barely steady with old contracts 150 points higher to 80 points lower. Furnished by Overbeck Ac Cooke company, Board of Trade building. Open. High. Low. Close.

Bids will be received ,at New York office on Tuesday of each week up to 12 o'clock noon for acceptance within 48 hours from time specified, subject to toe specmcauons and conditions given below. It has been considered advisable to make a alia-ht chance in the standard for wheat flours purchased by the Grain corporation. The with drawal of food administration milling regula tions now permits Tie milling of a straight flour of more satisfactory quality than heretofore. From now on Grain corporation flour shipments will undoubtedly be made to many countries where the local flour, although of straight grade. may show up better in quality than our 74 per cent extraction war grade; therefore, in order to maintain the reputation of American flours in Europeaa markets, while continuing to pur chase a straight grade of flour, the Grain corpor ation will raise its standard and buy only Straights of improved quality. The following amended term and conditions shall govern offers submitted for consideration beginning with our buying day of Maren Avar. Character of flour Straight. unbleached. well-dressed and properly milled of clean sound wheat.. 5 tirades Spring or hard wheat straight, must contain not less 'than 90 per cent hard wheat; soft wheat straight; blended wheat straight ( mill east of Rocky Mountains), may contain not. more than 50 per cent of soft wheat; durum wheat straight; hard Pacific Coast straight, must be milled from at least 85 per cent hard wheats: soft Pacific Coast straight. Quality basis Sellers offering flour shall have submitted type samples, of improved grades as described above representing the flour they will ship on any contracts awarded to them. Each offer by, seller must refer definitely to date of samples oa basis of which offer is made, and in event of award of contract, all deliveries must be equal to such sample. Samples drawn from shipment by authorized port agents shall be accepted by sellers as basis for adjustment of any quality claims. These samples are in spected very carefully by recognized Judges of flour and all claims for deficiency in quality shall be based upon their inspection. However, where the judgment of Grain corporation in spectors is not satisfactory to sellers, the adjust ment claims may be referred, if so requested by seller, to the flour committee of the New York Produce exchange and their judgment shall be accepted aa final.
