Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 27. Nebras ka's bumper corn crop, estimated at (251,619,000 bushels, is proving a worry to the farmers of the state. according to F. A. Kennedy, secre tary ot tne state labor department, farmers in all sections of Nebraska have appealed to him in urgent terms for hands to assist in the husking of the corn. "We could easily place 5,000 corn huskers In the state," Mr. Kennedy said. "During the past week,", he said, "more farmers have appealed for cornhuskers than men have ap plied for work. "Many of the farmers coming to Lincoln seeking cornhuskers are commissioned by neighbors to em ploy as many as 300 men." Mr. Kennedy ays the unemployed In eastern cities will find plenty of work in the Nebraska cornfields' if they will come. Farmers are paying from 6 to 8 cents a bushel to buskers, the latter being paid where no elevator is avail able for unloading. In addition, the men are housed and boarded- The cornhusking season, Mr. Kennedy says, will last from seven to eight weeks. Mr. Kennedy is of the opinion that never before has there been such a demand for cornhuskers in the state. South Side CalFor Cornhuskers Is . Heard in Illinois Town Nebraska's call for cornhuskers to take care of the bumper crop reached as far as Grayville, 111., ac cording to Millard Pollard and An tone Mitchell, who told Judge Fiti gerald in South Side police court yesterday they came from there to HO to work in the cornfields. The pair met a stranger on the South Side, however, who had a bot- tte, and they both landed in jail for drunkenness. Mitchell was given 10 daysin jail as a suspected I. W.

Chicago Tribane -Omaha lice Leased Wire. New York, Oct. 27. News that the Dritish coal strike controversy had been virtually settled on terms not wholly unsatisfactory to either party, had no visible effect today on thi Slj&ck Exchange. The market ten dency was downward from the'start, here was no recovery of any conse quence during the day, and final prices werciclose to the day's lowest, with numerous declines -of a point or thereabouts in both industrial and railway shares. So far as regards the absence of response to the Ens? lis-h news that mereVy proves that no other outcome of the labor dispute 1 as at any time been regarded in fi nancial quarters as possible. Anoth er 10 per cent call money market with 9 per cent as the day's mini mum was perhaps the really con trolling influence on the market. Exchange again moved against France and Italy today, though ster ling recovered, being quoted at one time a full cent above Tuesday's closing. Rates on Spain and Hol land went to the lowest figures of the war period. One incident of the day which will presently attract widespread interest, was the begin ning of publication of the railway earnings statements for September, the first month whose business was conducted under the new freight and passenger rates, Downward Tendrnev. Weekly reviewa of tha ateel trade seem to indicate an Increasing tendency for that industry to take Its share of the general trade reaction. The Iron Age reports no Increase In new business, a mors pro nounced downward tendency in prices, fur ther slvarD decline in raw material and occasional sharp cuts in price of the fin ished product by independent mills. There still appears to be talk of an actual ad vance in tha price of rails, which certainly seems Incongruous in view of all surround-' ing circumstances. The "back log" of the ateel trade at this Dartlcular moment undoubtedly Is the accumulated needs ot the railway and building Industries, and yet It is at least possible that the only way to get the full benefit of those long deferred orders is to put prices at a level which will end the buyers' hesitation'. Reaction In Wheat, Wheat closed slightly lower today, after the lOo per bushel recovery of the day be fore, a natural enough reaction when the large foreign buyers are under no neces sity of following so rapid a rise. Cotton declined, notwithstanding tne fa vorable news from the British strike nego tlstions, on which the cotton market has believed Itself to have so large a stake. But cotton prices have, In fact, been ac tually foverned by very different consid erations. Five or six months ago, when cotton exports were running double the weekly figure of 1119, when northern spin ners were buying three or four times as much as they were before, and when the government's estlmats of May 15 far the new crop gave tt the lowest condition ever reported in that month, "40 per cent cot ton," ciio not seem a wnoiiy unreaaonaDie forecast. The south committed Itself to very extensive credit engagements on that basis. Situation Changes. , ' A month or two later the whole situa tion had changed. Europe and the home spinners were faced by sudden trade re action, they reduced their weekly pur chases to one-half or one-third ot the year's earlier rate and meantime an ex ceptionally favorable season had raised the Indication for the yield of 1920 more than a 1,000,000 bales above the May for cst. But there was no liquidation ot the engagements of the credit. On thJ contrary, cotton wag actually put up to the highest price of the year in the last week of July, when the changed condi tions wsre a matter of common knowl edge. This Is the simple explanation for what has followed In the cotton trade. The sub sequent pressure of cotton on the market occurred because the owners were com pelled to sell at the best price obtainable for the protection of their own credit. Such movements always have to run their course and the readiuatment may already be nearly, completed. But It la not very difficult io judge how far the governor of Louislsna's plans to close the ginneries for 20 days In order to make forced Roll ing impossible would meet such a situation. 80 18 IK 100 iiji 4 4 33 I8K 11 . 8 30ft hi", hi" ii 82ii A.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire. Chicago, Oct. 27. There are' many traders who are bullish on wheat, but with the light outiide trade there is tfk much opposition for bulges to hold and recessions are to be ex pected whenever the buying ceases. One of the largest local traders covered his corn today and said that he believes the lowest prices on ccii have been seen for the time being. The crop and reserves, however, are regarded as too high for a bull move ment, although conservative people say that corn is entitled to an ad vance of 10c rom the recent low point after its big decline. Highest prices on all grains to day were made in the early trading, but the buying power gave out and closing trades were well toward th bottom with wheat off 2 1-2 to 3 l-2c. corn, 3-& to S-8c, oats 1-2 to 5-8c. and rye 1-2 to 3-4c. Wateh When Strike. The strike of the whest farmers of the northwest and southwest, with reports ot lighter offerings 111 the southwest, at tracted a great deal of attenlon.

WhHe the tankers in the United States are holding wheat for higher price. Canadian farmers have taken advantage of the advanced price and were said to be selling freely. Ilow long this condition will work out is a problem. - Shorts Heavy Buyers. ' Corn was bought by several of the larg est local shorts and ths price advanced lc over the previous day's finish, all of- which was more than lost, the close feeing around the low point.

Local traders were the principal sellers of oata end the northwest did a lot of hedging, while the buying was scattered. Cash prices wsre higher and receipts 67 cars, with shipping trade limited. Rye was bought by seaboard houses, but trading wss light and no- fresh export business developed. Cash prices, however, were 4o to 4fto over December for No. 2.
