Farmers Want
Hands to Assist
In Husking Corn
Urgent Appeals Made to
State Labor Department
For Help in Harvest of
Bumper Crop.
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.

Cattle .The cattle run today was rather
moderate, only about 0,400 head being re- ,
ported In, as compared .with 8,400 on
Wedneaday last week. Total for the three
days la 33,800, as against 41,000 a week I
ago. Range beef opened about steady,
but the undertone was alow, and bulk ot
the offerings were still unsold at the mid
dle of the morning. Quite a few native
steers were on offer. Short feds .were
hard to move, none having sold up to a
late hour, i Prettv good class of year
lings fed three or tour months brought
113. 60ral3.60. There was a pretty good
demand for butcher stock early and as
the supply waa light trade opened strong
to lOo higher. Feeders closed slow and
weak yesterday and were draggy again
thla morning at prices that' looked steady
to a little lower.

Br ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
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.

New York Cotton.
New Tork. Oct. 17. A further setback
occurred In the cotton market at the open
ing, owing to poor cables, selling by New
Orleans and Wall street interests, and leas
optlmtstlo news rsgardlnr the British coal
strike negotiations. First prices were IS
to 43 points lower. Later tne use aciea
fairly steady. Relative weakneas at New
Orleans, said to be a reflection of hedge
selling, afteoted the market here so that
prices were about 00 points under the pre
vious close.
President Wanatnaker of the American
Cotton association announced that it has
completed plans for assurlngva reduction
of It l-i3 per cent in cotton production
for 1121.
The offlolal forecasts for frosts In north
ern parts of the belt were followed by a
flurry oi covering ana a rise ot v o ts
points. Trading was quiet at noon, at
about 42 points net lower.
Tire failure of the reported settlement of
the' British coal strike to stimulate fresh
buying led to a renewal of liquidation and
selling for a reaction in the afternoon,
active months showing net losses of 66 to
80 points around 1 o'clock.

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.

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

Corn was bought by several of the larg

Local traders were the principal sellers

hedging, while the buying was scattered.
Cash prices wsre higher and receipts 67

Rye was bought by seaboard houses, but
