DEALERS CAUGHT IN THE PINCH Merchant ny They Cannot Force the Fnrmera to Let Go of Their Product nt the Contrnet Figure. Because the price of eed corn ha ad vanced from 6 to 10 cent per bushel fnoe contract were made by grower with the eed houe. aume trouble will be experi enced by the eed corn dealer In securing the corn contracted. The commercial corn price ha advanced ( to 7 cent ince June. Beed corn usually sells tor 6 to cents more than the com mercial grain, owing to the tet. "We probably will have to buy on the higher market," aald a eed dealer. "A number of th growers who contracted to ell u corn at 63 to 66 conU will demand ft) to SIS cents. Had we contracted to pay M cents and the market had gene down Instead of up. the growers would have compelled us to pay the higher price, but th contract Is a one-sldud affair. We cannot compel a farmer to ell ed corn at a lower price than tha market, but many of tha contracts would compel ua to pay a higher price even If the value went muclv lower." Because of the difficulty experienced with some grower, the seed men are only guaranteeing a price to reliable growers. They have two forma of contract and make themaelves liable o pay a price higher than at the time of delivery If the farmer Is well known and will deliver even If the contract price I lower than the price quoted at the time of delivery. At present the seed corn, market I un settled. The seed will begin to move about January 20 and the price will not be steady until that time. Bhould commercial corn go lower during the next twenty daya, many grower will be only too glad to de liver at the prices fixed In the contracts made during the summer.
