With three or (our hsmUM cl rice
skillfully cooked, the plain pct-ple o(
V Ur eit and of India are ible to
give themaelve sufficient food to en
able them to be occupied every day
' in hard work. The (ar eastern coun
triet cultivate rire (or it (ood value
to the hundred of million of itt
people, the annual harvest of which
amount to not far from 30,000,000,.
0OO pounds. With the exception of
' wheat it it the world's greatest crop,
t'ntil about 20 yean ago the
United Statei wai in a great measure
dependent upon imports of rice with
which to meet the demand of the
dometic market. Today thi coun
try i practically independent cf the
sttt of the world for tliii grain. At
thia time, when careful consideration
i given to the development of our
national resources, there is much en
couragement in the fact that within
20 year we have become ul)tan
tially independent of the world fot
rice, raisins, sulphur. We have be
come large exporter of these pro
ducts, although 20 year ago we de
pended upon other nations for the
greater part of our supply.

Twenty years so tha wet land, along

But copper can wait until Europe and
th reat of the world can buy. But there
mu.t be no delay In tha markutln of
food and for that reaaon our exports of
rice will In ins preaent year make not
only a new record but a wonderful one.
Th money Talus of the.e exports la trivial

tlon and of wall applied science. For
aclenc a few years aao learned that there
are lands In ths lower Mississippi valley
and In Texas which could b prepared for
rlca cultivation by utilizing certain agri
cultural machinery. - After th rice waa
planted by machines - theao landa wure
flooded and tha rice yielded bounteously
to preparation of thla kind. For It waa
poeelbte to drain off the water aa soon aa
th rice (rain matured, and then It could
be easily harvested. ' Formerly rlca was
chiefly cultivated along the Carolina and
Georrfa coast. Now by reason of the
courses with which aclenco and invention
were aummoned to aid thla cultivation our
rice area haa expanded Into the Misiasippi
valley, Arkansas, Texas and recently Into
California.

report could be made which
would tell of the' amazing Increase in
th cultivation and marketing of ralslna.
Incidentally It has been recently figured
that because of th enforcement of pro
hibition th farmer of California turned
their attention to th cultivation of ralslna
nnd so. successfully as to ' more , than
make good th loss entailed by the
abandonment of th manufacture of wine
and of spirits In California.
Her then waa another natural resource
to which attention was not urned o any
extent until about 20 years ago. In tha
latter part of President McKinley's .first
administration we exported raisins whoa
value was 1160,000. In 120 we exponed
considerably more than 100.000,00
pounds at ralslna and almost command
ed th world' market for this product.
Uofore this greet cultivation, w were. Im
porting about 60,000,000 pounds of raisrns
a year. : In .1920 we imported not more
than 260,000 pounds. - In the latter' part
of the- last century California iroducea
yearly about 100,000.000 pounds of ralslna
In 12 that stat produced nearly. 400,--000,000
pounds. Our exports of ralslna
for the year 121, notwithstanding tha
fact that th crop Is slightly short, will
constitute In quantity en of our largest
commodity exports, this, as Is the case
with rice, having been ; accomplished
within-20 years. s '? .. . .-
; Sulphur Mines Developed."
So also In less than 20 years we have
developed the sulphur mining Industry
to such an extent that Instead of being
an importer of sulphur and depending
upon Sicily for our supply we are now
indenendent of the werld and are e-
porting sulphur. Other of our natural
"'resources are soon to be highly developed
and so far as many of th raw material
in th. form af food nroducts. and those
which enter Into Industry are concerned
wa ar about to become not only Inrto
- pendent of the world, but to be one of. the
great sources of supply . for fither na

TAKING
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Cblcags Tribune-Omaha Re Lcaaed Wire.
Chicaao. Sent 30. Renewed
liquidation in grains carried prices
off sharply from the previous day's
close, but witn tlie exception ot Sep
tember corn and oats, at no time
were they as low as the inside figures
of the previous day. The best sup
port in the active Sutures came lrom
shorts. Closintr trades were well to
ward the bottom with net losses of
2 1-42 S-8c on wheat, l-26f 1 l-2c on
corn, Ml-2c on oats and 1 1-4
1 l-2c on rye.
The greater part of the tiews on
wheat was of a bearish character and
there was a lack of support until
May dropped below $1.26 early, un
der which figure good buying by
commission houses become effective
and checked the decline. Sales in
London showed Manitobas to be
2 l-23c and hard winters Sc under
a replacement basis and messages
from Minneapolis and Duluth
claimed consignment notices were
much heavier and predicted a ma
terial increase in arrivals next week
September Sales Heavy,
Belated holders of September sold
heavily, while the demand came mainly
from a local elevator Interest, which
sold December against Its purchases of
the September at 6a difference. A good
rally came at one time on short cover
ing, partly induced by the Clement Cur
tis report making the shrinkage In wheat
yield 199,0000.000 bushels or 11,000.000
bushels less than the government Sep.
tember returns snd giving the three Ca
nadian provinces 254,000.000 bushels or
14.000,000 bushels less than the govern
ment. The upturn, however, was short
lived and prices dropped sharply toward
the last with a majority of the local
olement talking very bearish.
September corn sold down to 460. the
lowest at this season since 190:1 and
closed at 47c, a net loss of le, with
support coming mainly from a local cash
Interest which hedged by sales of De
cember. Liquidation was on and the
market had a heavy undertone wuu casn
iota mm much aa In lower- aa comDared
with the December. Receipts are liberal
arid the shipping demand alow, while the
elevator Interests were not Inclined to
bid very strong for spot lots. A private
renort made the cron 2.187.000.000 bush
el, or practically the same as the gov
ernment -BeptemDer returns, aunougn mo
condition waa 2.2 points better than a
month ago and practically the same -as
the rovernment. Receipts 770 cars with
sample values 01o lower.
Osts lacked suDOort except such as was
given to the i market by shorts. Sep
tember was sold by longs and closed at
32o or within c of the Inside figures
on the orop. in ine main, me irairn
followed corn and sentiment was bearish.
Sample values were unchanged to c
lower, with receipt 74 ears.
A good part of the business In ry
consisted In buying that grain and selling
wheat on account of the wide difference
in price. Export demand was -not In
evidence. No. 2 en track waa lc over
September, with no receipts.
' t Notes. --.'-
Tn a special resume of the wheat sit
uation the Walt Street Journal says that
th situation la bearish, but Drlnta statis
tics to show that a long range view of
the situation Is anything but bearish.
While the visible Is steadily growing more
burdensome from - a market standpoint,
the invisible supply Is growing alarmingly
short. - New , forelen buyers have taken
half our surplus in two months and still
farmers are rushing their wheat to market
faster than It can be absorbed.
There is talk of an embargo on ship
ments of grain Into Kansas City. Stocks
of grain there are heavy. . ;
Liverpool cabled that trade In corn
continued on a limited scale. The tone
of the United Kingdom- , markets was
heavy and liberal, quaintitiea of both
Plate, and American corn were being of
fered for sale. The spot trade is ex
tremely slow.
Argentine offerings of both wheat and
corn are light. As a result the Buenos
Aires markets were . higher with shorts
covering. 1 - .

New York Coffee, -New

Financial
By FRANKLIN K. SPRAGUE.
Chicago Tribune -Omaha Re Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 30 Irregularity
prevailed in the stock market today,
quotations in the more active issues
declining at the close, alter having
enjoyed a moderate advance in the
carlv tradnic.
Once again the course ot prices
was swayed by the operation of pro
fessionals who mane the most ot an
advance in the call money rate from
5 to 6 per cent in the afternoon as
a basis for exerting further pressure
against the volatile issues. This
hardening of money actually held lit
tle significance, since time funds con
tinued to rule at 5 1-2 per cent and
there is no foundation for belief that
the tightening up in credit is proba
ble. Quite to the contrary, every
thing in the banking situation con
tributes to the continuation of easier
money.
Industrial Snares Suffer.
The Induatrlal Issue suffered to th
greatest extent In the afternoon decline,
the effect of favorable reports as to busi
ness conditions earlier in the weak having
lost Its influence. The stock market haa
undoubtedly been endeavoring for some
time (last to counterbalance by price ad
vance, the Improvement which la taking
nlaca In underlying condltlona. but natur--
ally there la no uniformity of opinion and
this makes for irregularity, especially since
the floor tradera so completely dominate
the situation.
The action of local traction shares waa
watched with Interest In view of the an
nouncement of the transit commission's re
port. There were conflicting movements
in the securities, the stocks for instance,
showing some degree of heaviness with
strength evidenced in the bonds. The
Interborough Rapid Transit sevens and the
refunding fives, together with the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit 7 per cent certificates,
moved forward, whereas Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock lost two points and Inter
borough stock remained unchanged. Th
financial district la naturally not giving i
any snap judgments as to the transit
plan, for it is one that requires mature
deliberation.
In the bond market there wa a re
wakening of demand for the Liberty issues
and weakness in foreign governments.
New York Cotton.
New Tork. 8ept. 30. Further Irregu
larity In the cotton market failed to
change prices much. Early movements
brought rapid changes In rather narrow
limits. As the day for release of the gov
ernment report approaches, business is
becoming more and more of an evening
up character. Early selling was cnieiiy
liquidation by Wall street interests, but
there was some little pressure from tho
south aaaln. On the whole, it was well
resisted, the market having a fairly
steady undertone during most of the fore
noon and strengthening in the late aft
ernoon. . 1
The first hour pressure depressed prices
15025 points under last night's close,
after opening prices had ranged from 16
points higher on uctoDer to l point low
er on May. Demand of considerable pow
er followed the early losses and the list
em Mrk to within a few points of the
preceding close. A steady tone marked
ii-M ess in the second hour.
In a quiet early afternoon market,
nrice chances were unimportant. Suffi
cient new buying came into evidence in
the last half hour to lilt prices niff4
nolnts over last nlsht's close, but part
of that gala was lost In the final few
minutes, when Wall street longs sola. The
close was 1018 points higher. -New
York Sugar.
New Tork. Sept. 20. The raw sugar
market was unchanged and the only sales
reported to local refiners ware about
28,000 bags of Porto Rlcos In port and
first half October' shipments at 4.13c for
centrifugal. Cubaa were quoted at 4.23c
for centrifugal. '
The raw sugar futures mnrket was
steady during the early operations but
eased off near the close under local sell
ing, closing 1 to 3 points net lower for
active positions. October, 2.62c: Decem
ber. 2.40c; March, 2.34c! May, 2.4Cc. ;
The market for refined was steady and
unchanged at 6.60c for fine granulated.
There was only a moderate Inquiry re
ported. .. -
Iru.refined futures, prices were nominal
with no transactions reported. October,
5.60c; December and later months, 6.25c.

Retail Prices of
Meat Exorbitant,
Says E. C. Brown
National live Stork Exchange,
Head Cit? Instances
Showing Extortion
Uy Retailer.
In a statement given out yester
day Everett C Brown, president of
tlie National Live Stock exchanga,
says the demand for meat is being
strangled by the relatively exorbi
tant prices (hvged by the retailer. ,
He says retail prices are not com
mensurate with present prices (or
cattle on the hoof and beef at whole,
tale and that many retailers are ttilt
charging wartime prices.
The following incidents are cited
by Mr. Brown:
'A man who works for a packer
bought two pounds of round steak
from a butcher, had it ground and
was charged 50 cents a pound. He
ascertained the name of the packer
from whom it was purchased, who
turned out to be his own employer.
He found out that the butcher hid
paid 15 cents a pound for the meat at
the packing house.
"Two butcher shops across the
street from each other were felling"
smoked meats from the same packer
at a difference of 0 cents a pounl
A number of retailers make a prac
tice of boosting their prices on Satur
day. Kfany stores sell second-grade
bacon for first-grade and charge
first-grade prices. Hundreds .of
pounds of compound are sold as
pure lard at prices high enough to
show an exorbitant profit on pure
lard."

Denver City Fireman Has
Prai6e for Local Fire Boyl
Edward L. Buchanan, city fire
man of Denver, 'is spending several
days vacation visiting his uncle and
aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Nixon, 4535
South Eighteenth street.
"Omaha has an excellent fire, de
partmcnt," said Mr. Buchanan. "I
have visited several of the fire houses
and been present when an alarm or
two came in and the Omaha boys
were right on the" job. . I took a
couple of days' inspection trip myp1
the stock yards and packing houses s
and had no idea of the amount of
business done in the live stock indus
try. Although I think Denver one
of the finest cities in the world.',
Omaha has impressed me as destined
to be one of the most .important
cities in the United States' ;
