Cash wheat prices were weakinPJ tically all markets. Export business at the seaboard was flat, with Bel gium trying to resell 112,000 bushels at New York. Reports of a good cxpoit business carried wheat prices up on Friday and the market carried other grains up with wheat, resulting in gains of 3;4 cents on wheat, l?s ccnls on corn and 1 cent on oats. The early gains were lost towards the ctose, however, when reselling by early buyers became the leading factor. At the close, wheat showed net losses of ;4 to 1-J4 cents, corn i cent, while oats were unchanged. A slightlyincreased movement of grain, especially corn, is reported in many parts of Nebraska and Iowa, although hauling nas oeen ninuercu in v -nncidpralllc pvtent hv bad roads. Many farmers are showing a tendency to make their corn waiK nurllpi in the shane of heef and pork," and the movement of leeder cattle from the aoutir umaua ana k'nint Citv ctnrWpr markets is said to be increasing to a considerable extent.

Buyers from. all parts of Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Colorado ana North Dakota attended the purebred Poland-China hog sale of Thomas Walker at Alexandria, Neb., recently. Seventy-one head were sold at prices ranging from $50 to $500 a head. Farm legislation most generally sought this winter in central western farming states where legislatures are in session, appears to follow the line of marketing and co-operative effort. Education, protection from fraudu lent speculation, improvement of farm tenant conditions are other measures in which a widespread farming interest is manifest. In several states a better organiza tion of the state agricultural admin istration is sought. Better commun ity protection through establishment, of rural police or constabulary is asked in others. Kansas farmers seek a state market bureau that would furnish information on market conditions generally and act, to seme extent, as a clearing house for orders for farm products. In Arkansas it is proposed to give the state agricul tural commissioner authority to fix t f r 1 grades and standards oi larm prou ucts, to enforce a uniform grading law, and generally to facilitate better marketing of farm products. Among financial proposals, a law is urged in Illinois for the organiza tion of iarm loan socienes 10 umu money to farmers on long term first and second mortgages. Farm land credits and rural personal credits are asked in Iow a. Adequate appropriations for state educational institutions urged , by farmers in a number of states indi cate agricultural interest Jn educa tion, free text dooks m mc mon schools are called lor m.
