The Chicago Pit
Chicago, Aug. ! 17. (I. N. S.) All
grains reacted from an oversold condi
tion iat the outset thi morning and sharp
rallies in wheat, corn and oats were In

ering In corn and a good deal of com
mission house buying in wheat because

S Vic. advanced : December 2c up and May
delivery 22c higher. ,
Osta displayed more resistance, especially th
September future which was sold bearily by a
houae with Northwest and seaboard connections.
September oats closed unchanged, December op
He and Hay up He. ,
Rye future in sympathy with tbe strength
in other grains, together with reports for export,
led tn commission house buying in this market.

jards intarerta and shorts bought.
Chicago, Aug. 17. (I. N. 8.) Wheat
stsrted easy with scattered selling by locals.

easy on eelling by a bouse, with Northwest con
nections. He off for September and ateady for

JentraUa, Waalu. Aug. 17. Fords Prairie
crops thia year have been unexcelled ,ln many
years, according to reports coming from; nearly
every farmer in thia district.- This week the
prairie presents a busy scene. . For; a district so
closely settled and cut op into such small farms,
there is an unusually large acre ire iof grain, and
threshing machines and mowers are Ibusy harvest
ing the crop. Rye, oata. barley, wheat and some
field corn comprise the variety of grains sowed,
and in almost every case th grain stands ahonl-
der high, unless it baa fallen on account of its
unusual tniekness. A larger. -percentage of th
acreage ia in oats than any other grain, with rye
taxing second place. un account) of splendid
weather for grains, they have ripened well, and
there ia no loas in weight after threshing on ao
count oc soft aamela. ' ' j . r .

Congressman Burton L French
1 of Idaho "Outlines Idea for
Helping Farmer.
Moscow. Idaho, Aug. 17. 'Burton
Tj. French, congressman for the first
Idaho district, spoke at' Genesee, Fri
day night, at the request of farmers
and business men of that place, on
his proposed plan for having tbe fed
eral reserve banks finance the mar
keting of the wheat crop by redls
countlng the "wheat paper" 'every
9 0 j days, with, the proviso that at
least 25 per cent of it must be taken
rip each quarter,- thus permitting, the
farmers to carry their wheat and sta
bilize prices, by not forcinsT more
than 26 per cent on the market dur
ing any quarter of the year. 'k There
was a large crowd and keen interest
was i shown.
Following the address, resolutions
were passed, aaking the united action of
eongreaxnen. United Statea senators.
Commercial clubs and - other, organisa
tions of the Northwest in presenting the
matter to the federal reserve bank
board, with an urgent demand that the
plan be adopted. - -
Congressman French said that he had
been asked if the federal reserve banks
were capable of handling the vast sum
necessary to carry the wheat crop in
this way, and stated that since the ques
tion was asked by a banker and farmer
several days ago, he had learned that
the funds at the disposal of the federal
reserve banks total S2,00,000,000 and that
This would buy the entire wheat crop
of the United States at a uniform price
cf $2.60 per bushel and leave plenty of
money after the purchase was made, so
there is no fear of not having sufficient
funds to carry the loans." He pointed
out that many farmers would not need
help, but the small farmer who needed
It most la the one who would "dump his
wheat on the market and depress the
price." V; ; ., .,
