Today’s Market Gossip
Chicago market letter by wire 6ays:
“Very recently Mr. Barues issued a state
ment calling attention to enormous re
serves of wheat. Since that time the
Igrain corporation has marie more than
lirgent efforts to clean up terminal eleva
tor accumulations. likewise to market
Holdings of Hour. This appears as a
Mxognitlou of the likelihood of a partic
‘yLlriv liberal carry over of old wheat
the new crop. I/ate yesterday the
States Graiu coropration asked
IfiSa'Crs to agree to the use of all enst
for i lie movement of wheat No
EjpCainent was reached and the matter
SHHecn referred to Mr. Barnes. Action
SUsHi* character means a complete stint-
of all movement of coarse grai is
Chicago. It is construed as bear
of rye and oats has nl
commenced and should now appear
York wire says that, there are
glides, like the present, when comment
because the influences con
trolling the market are so plain that no
one can mistake them. We find, however,
high rates for money that orinarliy fol
low a period of big speculation In the
stock market is with us today following
a .period of extensive liquidation. It
therefore ’looks as though the stock mar
ket is now suffering from over extension
of credits in other lines and there can
he no doubt that most of the over exten
sion will be found In lines eoneeted with
our export business.
Chicago wire says that the contem
plated control of all eastern cars by the
grain corporation has destroyed the de
mand in the spot market from shippers.
Spot market is left to the industries,
•who. in turn, may withdraw if they are
unable to ship the manufactured product.
Under these conditions the spot market
should lose all premium and drop to a
delivery basis with the May. The pre
miums gone, the market will be dom
inated by the total size of the crop.
flenne'ers rc-’ptrod •■ss">-anc‘'.s
from Holland. Switzerland and Scandi
navia of their willingness to co-operate
with private bankers and Great Britain
to extend necessary credits to central
Europe, according to London dispatches
to the New York Sun.
fredit requirements of the stock mar
ket, it is stated in high banking circles,
have been provided for through recent
arrangements whereby Wall Street has
again been allocated a floating supply of
credit, which may be drawn upon by
brokers. Bankers, however, expect call
money will be b ! ~'- r or some time.

According to the “dope” of a good
many traders, prices of hogs sank to a
practical top of sls on Thursday and
the other sales were from 20@75c lower
titan the top price. One cause of the
decline was a lack of competition from
outside buyers, but there is apparently
a panicky feelfrig in affairs, caused by
the decline in foreign exchange, and
the time seems ripe for buyers to drive
prices back to the level they succeeded
in maintaining most of the time in
January and whteh was considered a
fair price based on the cost of produc
tion. The fresh receipts of 8,000 hogs,
augmented by I,SOO layovers, added weak
ness to the market, but local kllers ex
tend their purchase to nearly 7,000 hogs
and a few late outside orders provided
a good clearance for a normal February
run of hogs. The tiptop price was $15.10,
but the good hogs averaging less than
225 pounds sold usually at sls, with
those weighing up to 250 pounds at
$14.80. on up to 275 pounds at $14.60
and up to .100 pounds at $14.50. Tho
heaviest porkers weighing more than
300 pounds sold at $14.25 and were 75e
lower than the day before. Other grades
sold 40@60e lower than on Wednesday.
Pigs were 50@t75c lower at $14.25 down
and sows from $12.75 down were gen
erally 50c lower.
Cattle.
Compared with the receipts heretofore
this week the run of 1,000 cattle was
fully normal, but the three days’ total
is 1,300 less than the same time last
week. The decrease in supplies, proba
bly more than any other Influence, con
tributed to a steady market, on Thurs
day and there was a better clearance
of cattle at prevailing prices than there
lias been for several days. Female
butcher cattle were again easier to seii
than the steers, but practically all o
the offerings that killers are buying
are $1 or more lower than they were
ten days ago. The prices of calves,
from SIS down, were a little lower and
there was no quotable change In price?
of feeding cattle.
Sheep.
It did not require long to clear the
receipts of only 200 sheep and lambs,
and prices were steady at $lB down foi
lambs and $9 down for heavy ewes.

Build Your Own
Poultry House
wm£ l L ,
If you want a real poultry house to meet
the requirements of all kinds of weather
conditions, both winter and summer, the
Double Deck House can not be improved
upon. It can be used as an open or
closed front as you desire, according to
your 'requirements. Just the house for
back yard or farm flocks. It’s absolutely
fool-proof in construction, easy to clean,
without ever coming In contact with the
droppings. It costs very little to build.
This house occupies very small ground
space, yet your hens have ample work
ing room and are never crowded, having
full range of the entire two floors at all
times. This is very important, as your
hens should never be allowed outside
range In winter or bad weither. If you
want real egg production, this house
means to you less work, less feed and
more eggs. This bouse is absolutely
sanitary.
Fight working blue print plans to each
house; also hardware and lumber dimen
sion sheets; one individual blue prlni
plan for each section, as your house goes
up one section st a time. They are made
so plain a boy can build it. Every part
Is Indicated on the blue prints, giving the
size and number of each piece of mate
rial used. Take your lumber sheet to
your lumber dealer. It calls for the ex
act size of each piece of lumber, which
absolutely corresponds with your blue
prints. You can not go wrong; you have
no figuring to do: everything Is abso
1 utely plain ind clear. By using these
plans you nave no waste lumber and you
have your own practical, fool-proof, sani
tary poultry house.
The plans are made In three sizes—2o,
40 and SO hen capacity.
