11 THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. MARCH 18, 1921. Hoover Expected To Push Water Transportation Development of Inland Water- Ways it w:ii r1.. r r , 8 111 WUnil.VjUM Of Marketing Farm Products. By HOOLLAND. A carload of oranges .shipped from the chief orange district of Florida, arrived at New York a few days ngo. The fruit was offered for sale to wholesalers, who were willing buy ers because the demand for oranges at this time is heavy. The entire car load was sold within a few hours and $1,6110 was paid for it. But the orange growers will receive only '.( small part of the receipts. A little over 51,000 were the charges for bringing the oranges to the whole sale commission merchants. Only $o00 yill be received by the pro ducers. If we add to the cost entailed by 1 'ringing- the fruit from Florida to N'cw York the profit which the wholesalers will receive and if to that there be added the profit whic.lv the retailers will command it will be discovered that the consumer will pay a very large amount over the amount received by the orange growers. What is true of oranges is also true of the early vegetables v hith are brought from Florida to New York and ultimately are mar keted to consumers in New York ; nd in other northern cities. hi'oiiomio Wast?. In this reference to one Incident In the r.-i cut transportation of fruit from Flor ida nml the various rosts It entails until it reaches the consumer Is to he discovered idcncR of the economic waste hii-h ii ui nravulMit. It undoubtedly will t.e brought to the attention of Secretary Hoover. lie recently .has spoken with emphasis In favor of greatly Increasing our transportation facilities. making special reference to the economic value of Increased water navigation, and It Is a vreasonaldo presumption that he will urge and undertake 1" every way In hia power the utilisation of all of these facili ties, especially water navigation to their capacity. Si retching a few miles westardly from the Atlantic coast of Florida, and paralleling- Ihe St. Johns river from Jackson ville to I'nlni Heach. the Indian river flows. It bisects; perhaps the richest fruit growing district of Florida. A few miles from lis boundaries the virgin soil, v liich Is very rich, produces much of tl early vegetable crop, which nas now reached very largo proportions so far as the marketing of it In northern cities is concerned. River Transportation. It is possible to take a boat from Jai lisenvillo or St. Augustlno to Palm Heach or the other way upon Indian river. will meet impediments to navigation. yet thh, river could l.o, improved easily so that upon It could bo floated vessels laden with fruit and orange;! which would be transferred at Jacksonville to the coast wise stcamera which ply betwetn that city and tho northern ports. .Men of capital of the north, dome of whom are citizens'- of New York, have in vested in those Florida lands and havelNo. been cultivating oranges and vegetables. Recently they Have undertaken the culti- vatlon of sugar cane and have been satis- f:ed with tho results. Otie citizen of New York, who has made considerable Investment In Florida, lands near Daytona, has taken pains to make a computation of tie.- dlfferece between the cost .of transporting fruit and vegetables by water and the cost of all-mil transportation. His computation shows that the tranapor tadon charges, for the products of Florida could be materially reduced if the water ways of the state were well developed and especially the Indian river. Harding's Experience. Possibly Pieaidont Harding may give to tho secretary of commerce, Mr. Hoover, :i graphic narrative which will tell of his e:iprienco and that of hla companiou, Senator Frellnghuysen, while attempting to wtiUe a voyage over the Indian river in a houseboat. This vessel frequently ran aground and it was at lust necessary to abandon it. And yet. comparatively slight Improvement of the Indian river would make It navigable for its whole length. The New York citizen who has made a compulation of the difference in costs, estimates that the improvement of the Florida waters would reduce the cost of transportation of the producton of that state at least 50 per cent. This Florida Incident is utilized In this wav for the purpose of an object lesson which. If learned and acted upon, will he of inestimable value to farmers. For if inland waters, w men can be, at compara tively email cost, made navigable, are .effected, they H'ould furnish an outlet for the movtnp of the products of the farmers Rt much reduced cost. Undoubtedly Mr. Hoover has action of this kind In mind,, As an engineer, whose achievements havf been many and great, he Is nualtflett to judge respecting the practicability of so utilizing the Inland waters ss to make them of avail to com merce. The presumption is strong that Mr. Hoover, early In the administration of the Iiepartment "of Commerce, will undertake greatly to enlarge the transportation fa cilities of this country.

MICHAELS. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased W Ire. Chicago, March 17. April weath er on the 17th of March, with the green hugs -not working strong enough to help the bulls on wheat, brought a collapse in all grain mar kets after an early showing of strength and carried prices down sharply with a tame, finish at near ly the inside prices. Net losses of wheat were 2 to 3 Mcwitli May lead ing, corn, 1 to 1 l-8c. oafs, 7-8 to k, rye, 1 3-8 to 1 7-8c. and barley. 1 l-2c. Provisions advanced and closed with gains of 27 1-2 to 30 points on lard, 22 1-2 on ribs and 20c on pork. Wheat crop reports were favorable and the Oklahoma report showed no damage by green bugs. This was emphasized by the trade in general, as also was the fact that the weath er is two to three weeks ahead of recent years and that the crop is showing better promise than usual at this season. This created a bear ish feeling and those who bought early expecting that the export de mand would be strong enough to carry prices higher and hold them, were disappointed. The top figures were 1 to 1 3-4e over the finish of Wednesday with March, $1,603-4 and May $1,521-2. Prices Iwer at (lose. A break of 4 cents followed with the finish M m '-ic from th- inside figures Around the top prices, the buying gave out and the market appeared filled with selling ordrs scattered among a number of the largest houses, the execution of which started the break when the mar ket was found to be without supporting orders. ... , Corn hroke 1c to 8Hc and closed weak at 68'io to eSUo. Light rountry offerings with arrivals here of 215 cars and only 432 cars at the five markets, agnlnst 367 last vear, brought elevator interests Into the market, who bid up discounts U to He netrer to May. Export sales were lf.0.000 bushels at the seaboard, but no business was reported here, while domes tic sales were 40,000 bushels. Traders were long earlv and sold out making the break. Buying of September and selling of July waa on at 1 c difference. ' Fine weather and tho weakness In other grains, with favorable reports. for the crop nie.ariv seedlnc and for field work In general, combined with poor support aniL, Increaaed selling pressure, carried oats off 1Ho to 42Jc for May. A fair nusiness was on in changing from May to July. Seed oats were wanted with fancy No. 2 white at 45c. Domestic aales were loO.OOO hn.h.u with Vo 2 white ..c over May. Cash prices advanced early and closed c lower. Receipts were 83 cars. Exporters bought 30,000 bushels of rye here at 26c over May, track. Baltimore. Buving of May and July was attributed to the seaboard. Prices advanced early, but reacted and closed at the inside. Pit Notes. Local traders were mainly bearish to night, the weather end the -crop exports being too good for this season of the year. This, combined with the belief that there in to be a good winter wheat crop and the belief that the destructive species of the green bug are doing comparatively little damage to the crops, Is apparently keeping the outside trade from the buy ing. Considerable stress Is laid in certala quarters to the trade agreement between Great Britain and Russia. It is assumed that Russia has very little groin to ex port and will cut no figure, while lncaso there should be anything to export, its Influence would be bearish. The seaboard does not seem to want corn for export. Judging from the way they are bidding, although the break in the market today was expected to help out a little. The country la not selling corn and ' receipts continue to fall off. owing to light country elevator stocks. There are Indications of a hardening in iha discounts on the lower grades which are all He nearer the May than recently, with , elevator Interests and industries buylnif. A round lot Canadian wheat was re norted bought by Minneapolis mills to day for five-day shipment. Xo. 1 North ern at Winnipeg closed lc higher for the day or tMc over the May. May then closed at $1.78S. Reports that there was aronna o.uou cars of wheat on track at Fort William and Port Arthur, waiting to unload were authorltlvely denied today. jnere is plenty of room left in the elevators and lake navigation opens April 15. Of the 20,000,000 ousnei in store, it is estimated that farmers own 75 per cent ' Omaha wheat that was going to Chi cago) is now being diverted to the Gulf on account of the advance in exports bids. Two cars of No. 2 hard winter from Om -ha sold here today at mc over March against 2c over the previous day. There was also some carried over as holders re fused to accept the reduced bids. Dry weather talk is increasing from Nebraska and Kansas and rains would be decidedly beneficial in some sections, es pecially in the light son territory. A decrease In the acreage of spring wheat in North Dakota Is expected thia year, according to reports f E. F, Le land & Co. The reduction will be due to farmers taking care of onlv as much land as they can without hiring laoor. 'jne rinsncial condition was re ported as responsible for this. CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES.

Except for further recovery in foreign exchange rates and recurrence of the 6 per cent rate for call money, nothing occurred in today's market to give any new view of the general situation. On the stock exchange, pressure by prin cipal speculators for the decline was resumed, but with some uncertainty of purpose, for heavy selling of the railway shares, which caused numer ous rapid declines in the early hours, was followed fitst by large purchases of industrial shares and then by similar purchases of the railways. The result was a market of great irregularity and a fairly even balance of net advances and declines. Market Confused. On the whole the gains were more em phatic than the losses, but the movement in prices was so confused all day as to make It difficult to describe the market as a whole. Railways shares closed lower iu nearly all cases, but with sub stantial recoveries from the bottom prices of the day. ' Money loaned at 6 per cent again on the stock exchange ad lower In the street, in the moderate general recovery of foreign exchange, the advance In Italian rates were noteworthy, but it ap peared to have no other cause than a hopeful stutement by the Italian represen tatives in this city regarding Italy's fi nancial outlook. Some interest was taken In the government labor bureau's monthly average of commodity prices.
