The consumption of corn between
March’ 1 and Nov. 1 has average 895,-
000,000 bushels the past six years. Av
erage reserves on Nov. 1 the past six
years are 82,000,000 bushels. The present
March 1 reserve suggests next November
reserves around 200,000,000 bushels, as
Burning ttbat consumption between now
and then will be as per above aevrage.
Market letter by wire from Chicago
calls attention to the fact that corn
prices have advanced 24 cents in the
last, twenty-three days. This fact alone
entitles market to a good reaction.
Further than this Chicago Is now the
highest market, for cash corn, which
should increase receipts to some extent
Very few new shipping sales are being
made, blppers buy!ng only against pre
vious contracts. Farm reserves are above
an average. Congress is holding up the
stile of wheat and flour abroad. Every
one and all of these Items suggest that
advarfed is about culminated.
Wire from New York reviewing con
ditions in the stock market says: “Yes
terday’s developments served the pur
pose in demonstrating the market can
move, and move rapidly. We only need
an incentive and some how or other the
wherewith at materializes. It would
hardly be fair to expect a continuation
of the wild trading experienced yester
day. Some setback is in order, but the
foundation is sound. The decision of the
supreme court holding that railroad
valuation should be of the present, rather
than the cost in times gone by is by
far the most bullish item we have had
on rails in many mouths. The effect
will tie lasting. To realize what this
means it is only necessary for a gov
ernmental agency or private corporation
to try to duplicate the terminal fa
cilities iu any of our cities. The capi
talization of tho rends at present valua
tion would not go far in securing what
U wanted.’’ \

With probably one exception, the fixed
list of prices for hogs was the same on
Tuesday as It was on the opening day
this week and the demand was broad
enough lo absorb the supply of 6,000
hogs. The "regular” top price for the
light hogs was $15.85, but there were odd
sales as high as sl6 and the heaviest
hogs were listed as low as $14.50, but It
did not appear that any sold lower than
$14.75. As usual, however, the variation
from the fixed rates was not frequent
enough to disturb, materially, the general
average price of the various classes.
There were sales at intervals from $14.75
to $15.75, except there were none listed
at $15.25 and the hogs that sold at $15.50
were the same as sold at $15.45 on Mon
day. Pigs were steady from sls down
as were also the sows from sl3 down.
Cattle.
There was quite an active market for a
light run of 1.200 cattle and any change
in the list of prices was naturally in
favor of the selling side, but it did not
appear that there was any quotable ad
vance In prices In any department os
compared with the prevailing prices for
equal kinds of catlle on the day before.
In addition to the buying of all local
killers there was a pretty good demand
from outside Interests ami the fat steers,
heifers and cows moved over the scales
firomptly. Indeed, at the close of trade
t seemed that the demand from all
sources had not been fully supplied. The
calf market was also active and the com
petition was strong enough to benefit
prices to the extent that some of the
sales were 30c higher with the best veals
at sl9. The demand for feeding cattle
was fully equal to the supply and sales
ware at fully steady prices.
Sheep.
Onp f*hipnont of more than 200 western
fed lambs made up more ihan half of the
receipts on Tuesday and they sold at
$19.50, which was considered steady as
compared with any lime in the last
week or ten days Other offerings also

NEW YORK, March 9.—Discussing thd
foreign exchange disorganization, ltn
meaning for our foreign trade and ltiH
reaction on present business conditions*
the Mechanics and Metals National
of New York says in Us March letter: K!
“During the last year the country bafl
become acustomed to a prosperity Hl®
paralleled for many years. Prices have*
reached a level unprecedented since theH
civil war; wages have risen to corrbfl
spond; labor has been fully employed an*H
the chief complaints have been that
ployers can not get enough labor amdH
that buyers can not get enough goods. Bjj
READJUSTMENT OF S
PRICES MUST COME. S
"But during recent weeks signs bavafl
accumulated that this condition may bH
greatly altered. Foreign exchange
have declined to points hitherto unfl
known, with a violence never seen be-V
fore. Rates for call loans have been
eeptionally erratic; time money has
vanced to a level unapproached in sev-®
eral years; even these rates have uotH
served to check the desire for borrows®
ing, and banks following the dictates of®
prudence have been unwilling to grant®
many applications for credit
in more normal times. ■
"It is obvious that prices of cornmod-®
lties can not continue to rise indefinitely;®
In some retail lines they have reached ft®
point where It is at last becoming eri-®
dent that consumers are being forced to®
curtail their purchases. Gold has beer®
flowing out of the country at an uaprece®
dented rate. With the foreign exchang®
disorganization, with prices at suet®
levels, and with credit to finance fur-®
tber price increases unavailable, it i|H
apparent that, some readjustment or al®
teration of business conditions is bfr®
fore u*. ■
"Though the exchange rates are not ii®
themselves so important as they
often thought to be, they are of
significance as barometers. They are not®
th* chief evil, but they indicate the eU®H
evil, and that is the fact that our cxceM®
of exports threatens to disappear be-®
cause our European customers will lack®
the means of payment. They can no®
pay without credit, and our extension®
of credit seen to be coming to a stop®
Their need of goods has been and is still®
so great that they have been and are®
still willing to pay the exorbitant price®
brought about by the exchange rate®
but they can not pay those prices if w<®
will not even extend them the credU®
to buy the goods. *®
CREDIT QUESTION I
ONE OF VITAL IMPORT. ®
“Our trade with Europe will fall ofH
gradually in any ease. No one can ex-®
peet it long to continue in its present®
unbalanced state. Europe's abnormal*
needs, the result of shortages of goodal
brought about by five years of war, must®
soon decline; not only as they ere filled®
by goods from us, but as Europe returns®
to production. Mere extensions ofl
credit, no matter how generous, will not!
ward off this decline. Credit demand®
interest; credit must be repaid; and
business men of Europe will go int®
debt onlv for goods that they need.
"The real question before the American®
people Is whether this decline shall b<®
gradual, so that industry in this country!
mav have time to become adjusted to lt,l
or whether it shall be sudden, whether It®
shall come as a shock, whether it shal®
result in a backing up of gooda, w hether®
it shall mean disorganization. That 1®
what will happen if credit comes sud-®
deniv to a Stop. We can forego talk o®
•philantbrophy and aid and generosity®
we can forget that credit or our expor®
trade are helping Europe in any way; w®
can take the narrowest possible
view, and the fact remains that a
cessation of credit, which means a
shrinkage of export trade, would
hardship and confusion to our own
dustries. and diminish our present
ertv. IL.wever much in theory we
dlfler among ourseives as to the effeJ■
and importance of a great export
Liq prosperity, we must face the facts
the present situation, which are that
agricultural and industrial output are
day proportion’d to and based upon
unparalleled export trade, and that
sudden diminution in that trade
cause unsetUement and trouble
out Industry. MM
