b Bureau Official
Land Value Decreasing, Mort
gages Increasing, Says C. B.
Steward, Citing Rate
Hearing Exhibit.
By R. H. PETERS.
Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Feb. 8.—C. B. Steward,
secretary of the Nebraska Farm Bu:
beau federation, today vigorously de
nied that farm conditions are Buch as
to justify optimistic reports circulat
ing through the country. To support
his contention, he cites an exhibit
which he presented before the grain
rate hearing in Kansas City that is
concluding a long series of hearings.
"An examination of the records of
'—'LI representative counties in the
state tax commissioner’s office and
in the state auditor's office shows
that the value of land und Improve
ments has decreased, from 1921 to
1923, to the extent of $18,646,750,
he said. “During the same period,
there has been an excess of land
mortgages filed over mortgages re
leased of $32,543,096.97.’’
The counties used by Steward—and
he denies that the list was hand
picked—are Red Willow', Hitchcock,
Morrill, Scotts Bluff, Cherry, Webster,
Dawson, Holt, Polk, Washington,
Saunders. Seward, Cass, Phelps, and
Johnson.
In those counties there were three
mortgages satisfied by foreclosure in
1921, he shows. 121 in 1922, and 419
in 1923, with 244 pending. «
Capital Depleted.
"Many more land mortgages were
satisfied by the land owner voluntarily
relinquishing title to his land to
satisfy ids creditors, rather than add
the expense of a court foreclosure,”
he continued.
’’As an example of (his condition,
in one county In which there were two
foreclosures in 1921, and eight in 1922
there were 300 foreclosure suits on
the docket at one session of district
court, while only 50 sheriff's deeds
were recorded, the other cases being
satisfied by voluntary relinquish
ment.”
$5,465,795 In 1923, according to the
exhibit, hut thero was an excess of
*10,508,477 in chattel mortgages filed
over mortgages released.
“A large proportion of the mort
gages satisfied were met by the
farmer depleting his working capital
rather than by the earnings on his
capital,’’ Steward said. "In many in
stances the farmer Is meeting the in
terest on his loans by cashing in or
borrowing on the cash value of his
life Insurance policies.’’
Mortgage Loan* Increase.
That the conditions In the 15 coun
. tiea sre not out of tins with general
agricultural conditions in this coun
try Is shown by statistics of farm
mortgage loans of 62 life insurance
companies, Steward contends. His
figures show their loans for farm
mortgages Increased more than $200,
000,000 in th«f last year.
“Further, records of farm imple
ment companies supplying Nebraska
farmers show that farmers are not
maintaining the standard of farm
equipment in proportion of railroad
equipment, due to the farm shrinkage
of financial resources,’’ he declared.
“The attorney for the railroads In
this case sought to show that a re
duction In freight rates in grain
would be absorbed by increased profits
at the terminal markets. The farm
bureau evidence disproved this state
ment by citing the fact that there
were about 400 co-operative elevators
in Nebraska.
"These co-operative elevators pay
tatronage dividends to their members
and any reduction in freight on grain
also would result in a lowering of
the freight cost of grain purchased
on the termlnsl markets by millers,
exporters and other dealers In grain
and result in a higher price paid for
the grain on the terminal market to
the extent of the reduction in freight
rats. Thus the grain farmers would
benefit by a reduction in freight to
the extent of double the amount of
the reduction.
116,541,000 laws.
“The argument by the railroad
j cpresentatives that the economic
situation of the farmer was very
much better in 1923 than In 1922, be
muse of the increase In farm values
of the 1923 corn crop, was met by
the cost of production statistics of the
1928 corn crop, prepared under the
direction of Prof. H. C. Killey.
“A careful checking up of the
records shows the cost of producing
a corn crop on 47 eastern Nebraska
farms, representing 2,378 acres of
• com, to be 74 cents per bushel. This
figure includes 7 cents a bushel to
equalize good and bad years.
“Of our corn chop 40 per cent Is fed
to hogs, and. at the average price of
hogs on December 3, the Nebraska
farmer received 37.8 cents per bushel
lor the 108,821,000 bushels used In
pork production. This means a loss
of $16,541,000 In the value of the com
fed to Nebraska l'.oga by the Nebraska
fanner. The total loss on the corn
fed to hogs of eight western com atiu
hog producing states ia $105,893,000."

Forces that have retarded business In

in different localities this week, notably
in the mlddlewest, impeded operations,
but this was a temporary influence and
did not effect all activities. Against the
restraints Imposed by westher draw
backs there has been the first gain in
pig iron output In seven months, con
firming recent reports of an increased
demand for steel. The expansion in the
great basic Industry, which has a large
bearing on conditions generally, has come
mainly because buyers’ stocks had run
low and were In need of replenishment.
Much the same phase as to supplies has
existed In some other support branches
as In textiles and hides and leather, and
in those lines transactions hmva also
broadened. The current growth of busl

Grain /Market News.
Recent heavy livestock receipts, espe
cially on the Omaha mArket, is attract
ing much attention on the local grain
market. What effect, if any, the heavy
livestock run will have on corn values,
*e the question. A heavy movement of
livestock usually has a bearish effect on
cash corn values, for it mthns leas live
stock to feed and consequent lighter de
mand for cash corn. But some in the
trade beHevo that corn wil be held for
higher prices and to be fed to livestock
at a later period, which would have a
I bullish influence on cash corn values
within the next few weeks. And whether
farmers will sell their coin now or hold
it until later is another question among
the grain trade at this time.
A reading of the dally inspection report
in this column reveals a story that is of
interest to all producers and shippers of
grain: that is. the higher grades or grain
inspected out. The quality of corn re
ceipts has been lower than usual this
winter owing to the higher moisture t*et;
and much of the corn received at ter
minal markets this winter is not m con
dition to compete in the world's markets,
and to withstand the climate of the south
and the sea voyage through which this
corn passes In the trip to Europe. At
terminal markets this low grade corn,
with Its heavy moisture content, is put
through the drying process and the grade
is thereby raised.. If it were not for this
special service done by terminal grain
dealers and elevators there would be very
little No. 2 and No. 3 corn on the mar
ket thia season, and which grades are
virtually necessary to compete In the ex
port field, for the best of the foreign
trade. Out-of-rondition wheat, oats and
other grain Is handled through a similar
conditioning process by whlcn the grade
is raised and the grain made adaptable
fo** milling purposes.
Wire service was conelderably Im
proved at the grain exchange today.
Limited service was being furnished com
mission houses and brokers who freely
r>aased around to others the news and
nformation received fxom other terminal
markets.

^ Chicago Grain y
By CHARLES 4. LKIDRN.
Chicago. Keb. 8.—Wheat atage<l an tm-i
press!ve recovery from the early decline
today and closed Irregularly. Liquida
tion by eastern holders helped to depress
prices at the start, the weakness at
Liverpool being an Influence, but as the
session progressed timely support was
encountered and the finish was near the
best levels of the day and firm.
Wheat cloaed He lower to %r, higher;
corn wan unchanged to He higher; oats
were kc to He down and rye ruled He
to He lower.
Spreading operations were less pro
nounced. The feature of the session wss
the relative steadiness May wheat ex
hibited in the face of the world ship
ments this week, estimated at 20.0<>o,000
bushels, approximately, and probably the
largest clearances In over a year. Locala
were bearish the greater part of the day.
but they were forced to "come In" ulti
mately.
Support became more active in the corn
pit In response to the ready way the cash
offerings were absorbed and also be
cause of tho revived export business. Lo
cals aold early In the day but covered.
Bulls who recently reinstated their lines
were again adding to their lines. Cash
premiums here were advanced % to Hv.
Realizing sales continued intermittently
through the day In the oats pH, and final
prices were shaded slightly.
Rye was reactionary and aold lower.
Buying power in this grain is very back
ward.
Provisions eased under Belling from
small and larger packers. Lard was 7Hc
lower and ribs were unchanged to 2Hc
higher.
Pit .Notes.
It was the consensus of opinion that
w’heat is manifesting praiseworthy resist
ance to selling pressure. Up to Thursday
the market had advanced for nine consec
utive trading days and then reacted only
moderately. The reaction waa renewed
today but proved short-lived. News from
Washington that const ructivo help for
the farmer Is pending has made the trade
more cheerful.
A news Item from Minneapolis late to
day 1o the effect that millers have been
mixing as high as 50 per cent good Amer
ican wheat with the Canadian attracted
no little attention. It appears that the
Canadian wheat does not possess this
>ear In many instances tha right kind
of gluten quality, and to avoid flour
discoloration American wheat has been
used more freely.
Stocks of wheat back on the farms
are moderate to light, according to au
thorfties. This is true particularly west
of the Mississippi. The light primary
movement aince the turn of the year
has apparently been no accident, and ex
perts in the trade are dal^y pointing out
the truth^of mattter.
Shipments of wheat and flour from
North America ahowed a sharp Increase
for the week, totaling 9.446,000 bushela
compared with 4.102.000 bushels the past
week. Argentine shipments this week were
conrlderably Increased at 6,750.000 bush
els, while Australia cleared over 4.000,000
huiheis. The consumptive demand In
Euiope -is evidently returning to normal.

^ Financial News y
By BKOADAN WAI.L
New York. F'eb. S.—The "healthy re
action" In security prices continued on
the stock exchange today and encour
aged short selling by professionals. No
particular group wag picked for pressure,
offerings being suread evenly throughout
the rails and Industrials.
tiThe decline was conducted In very
satisfactory manner, however, and sales
on the whole were well taken, so that
! he close found the losses of most of
the recent leaders confined to a point or
less.
Studebake*-, General Electric and, Hayes
Wheel advanced against the list under
the impetus of steady demand. Missouri
Pacific. New' York Central and others in
the transportation group, w-hlle frac
tionally lower, displayed a splendid un
dertone.
Call money declined to 4 % per cent,
and volume of trading again fell below
the high figures recorded in the bullish
activity earlier in the week. Foreign
exchange, with the exception of the yen,
was comparatively quiet and still dis
played an inclination to give ground.
Cotton fell further to near the 35c
level, while the grain markets held firm
in a rather quiet session.
Steel common lost a point, Bethlehem
a point and a If and other steel shares
correspondingly as much, with the excep-,
tlon of 8los*-.Sheffteld, which held well at
only a slight fractional decline. Although,
offerings of Steel common were heavy'
throughout the day, comprising a gond |
5 per cent of total transactions, there
was no indication of any hurried selling
or great nervousness.
The northwestern rails offered the most
impressive resistance to offerings for a
time. Northern Pacific, Great Northern,
Hock Island and Missouri Pacifie advanc
ing Into higher territory for awhile, but
subsequently losing their gains and clos
ing at fractional recessions.
The sugar group held fairly well, but
failed to follow up recent advancing tend
encies.
The oil shares declined an average of
a point or so and It was again evidenced
that full effort of price advances and
other constructive happenings cannot be
felt while the oil lease hearings are under
way. It was again noticeable, however,
that Sinclair and the Pan-American shares
were given support whenever attempt at
depression was made.
