THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1921. Nebraska Wheat Crop m Sell For $25,000,000 Tola! U. S. Yield Set at 800, 000,000 Bushels; Corn liugker State Corn Crop To Break Record. OLD SOUR GRAPES Drawn for The Bee by Sidney Smith. Copyright, 1921. Chicago Tribune Company By HOLLAND. Within the next six weeks the farmers of Nebraska who have been cultivating wheat will have in hand about $25,000,000, if reports which reach New York are justified. Ne braska is expected to harvest a little over 25,000.000 bushels of wheat which will be marketed probably at $1.12 a bushel. If this be true of Nebraska, other great wheat-growing states are likely to receive propor tionately an even greater amount than the Nebraska farmers. Okla homa should receive considerably more than S25.000.000. The wheat growing states of the northwest will in the aggregate receive, according to the best estimate, not far from $100,000,000, Washington authorities estimate a production of a little over 800,000,000 bushels of wheat. Some of the pri vate estimates fix the number o bushels as high as 840,000,000. It will be, in any event, in excess of 800,000,000 grown upon nearly 57,- 000,000 acres. Would Sell for (ftOO.000,000. If tha harvest bit ai much a 810.OAA.000 bushels and wheat commands $1.12 a bushel, thn this crop alone will market tor nearly 6900,000,000, It was at on tlma an estlmnte of James .1. Hill that all the crops of the United States, Including cattoa should give. If properly cultivated, a yearly return of 1 15.000,000,000. How near that figure the harvest of tma year will bring the aggregate returns to the farmer It I Impossible now to esti mate closely. . If the priens for farm products were thll year aa high as they were two years ago, then possibly the American farmers would be able to report that they have produced new wealth by all th harvest of this year which, meas ured by dollars, would aggregate 116.000, 000. 000.

Tha weather thus far has been favorable In Nebraska. Abundant rain has fallen there and has protected the crops from the effects of excessive neat. Becord Crop In 1920. It may bo that not so many bushels of rora will be harvested this year as were last Tear. In 1910. 3,000,000,230 bushels Wore harvested and that waa a record cron. Washington authorities estimate that tha crn harvest fcls year will fU Short of the record year by 110,000,000 bushels. Even though this estimate should prove to be accurate, yet 100,000,000 bushels in excess of 1, 000,000. noo will coma to tho earn growers of the United States, unless there ahould be very unfavorable weather for tho next six weeks. The farmers planted twice ss many acres to corn as they did to wheat, having sowed somewhat In excess of 100,000,000 acres to corn. If tho corn should bo marketed for a little over 60 cents a bushel, then It would yield about 31,800,000,000. Oats, of which the harvest will be 1, 800,000,00 bushsls.

It Is noticed that throughout tho south, tiotwlthstandlng tho unfavorable cotton situation, farmers are not idle. They have so cultivated their fields to corn that tho harvest of eorn In tho south will probably exceed In tho number of bush els at any earlier harvest. Every one of the southern states excepting Missouri cultivated more corn thla year than ever hofni-e. and in addition, with the excep tion of B'lorida and Kentucky, devoted mora acrea to oats than had ever been dons.

Demand for beef was good and the desirable kinds of dry cattle sold readily at fully steady prices, yearlings again topping at $10.00. Plain kinds of steers were slow and the market on cows and heifers was lifeless at weak to lower prices. Feeders were rather scarce and sold steady to strong. Compared with last week, beet corn-fed steers are 10ig)25o higher, with plainer kinds about steady. Western beeves are little lower, if anything, but stoekers and feeders are strong to as much as 25c higher. Cows and heifers show losses of 50 075c for the week.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire, New York, Aug. 4. Interest in to day s markets was chiefly directed to the sharp recovery of 4 cents in ster ling and the rise in call money rates to 6 per cent for the first time in a fortnight. The higher money was probably a temporary incident caused by shifting of government balances. Diversion of credits from New York seemed to be indicated by the week ly report of the New York federal reserve bank, which showed a de crease of $45,900,000 in that institu tion's share of the system's central gold fund. A rise in call money rates has long been familiar on the approach of the harvest season, when interior banks are apt to draw on New York, but the movement has usually begun only m the last weeks of August, Rates for time loans did not change from their low level. It is in that branch of the money market that a crop-moving demand is commonly indicated. Fractional Changes. Most of the day's changes on the stock exchange were only fractional, with net declines more numerous, but the advances on the whole more impressive. The ad vance in bond market prices was checked except for the United States war loans which were conspicuously strong. nasca on tne boaroys compilations or the total gold Imports of the year to the latest date reported, it may be safely estimated that up to the present moment the gold importations of 1921 have footed up not rar from 425,uoo,ooi). it is well known that this Ib not a "high record;" a still larger sum was imported in the six or seven months before we went to war with Germany. But those importa tions were distinctly for the purpose of establishing reserve credits on which ex- teneive war loans to the allies might be based and of helping in the "stabiliza tion" of European exchange rates. Gold Import Heavy. Neither is there a nrlmarv motive at this time and moreover, there is no in dication of a check to the present remark able movement. While It Is true that part of our recent imports (from Sweden and Holland especially) may have been Rus sian gold melted up at the Stockholm mint, thoso importations have not made up one sixth of the year's total Importations. The United States has already imported this year from all quarters of the globe, nearly $100,000,000 more gold than the world's entire new production of 1920. It now holds more than 40 per cent of the whole world's estimated atock of gold and the movement does not slacken. Neither bankers nor economists are able to frame a confident opinion as to the upshot of this heaplng-up of reserve money in the United States, at the moment when our Issue of paper money and use of credit is being reduced with exceptional rapidity. All that can safely be said of so singular a phenomenon Is that it portends a chap ter of even more unusual economic historv In the coming era of reconstruction. New Tork Cotton. New Tork. Aug. 4.

Chicago, Aug. 4. Liquidation was general in wheat today and two of the largest lines held in the local market was sold out, the largest be ing credited to a big eastern trader, Towards the finish buying by sea board houses and by a leading ele vator interest aided the market and some short covering toward the last forced some recovery, last prices showing losses of only 2c. Corn finished S-8c to 3-4c lower and oats were 3-8c to S-8c off. Rye closed unchanged to 7-8c lower, and barley was l-2c to 3-4c lower. Pork declined 30c; lard 5c to 40c and ribs 30c to 27 l-2c. Cash wheat basis was firm, corn unchanged and oats unchanged for ho. 2 grades and 1-c to lc lower 'for No. 3 and No. 4 grades. Local cash sales were 80,000 bush els of wheat to exporters, a resale of wheat canceled yesterday; 10,000 bushels of corn and 85,000 bushels of oats. Sales to exporters out of this market were reported at as high as 150,000 bushels of wheat and 300,000 bushels of corn, but these could not be fully confirmed, the sellers con tenting themselves with reporting some business worked, but refused to give out totals. Wheat Friers Decline. Wheat prices had a material decline. Longs were tired. They realized that so long as foreigners remained disinterested and the American farmer continued to put his wheat on the market regardless of price that, for the moment, It would be difficult to advance prices to a level which represented its true value. Selling was on a big scale and almost all of It was In the way of liquidation. There was some selling credited to an eastern trader which was so large that the trade was inclined to believe that he not only went out of his long wheat, but also sold enough to become committed on the short side. Corn was weaker In sympathy with wheat. Liquidation and short selling combined to force a reduction. Good in vestment buying was uncovered on the break. September corn sold at a new low figure on the crop. A detailed re port of the weekly weather bulletin shows that, in the opinion of the government observers, the rain came too late to aid the corn crop in parts of Kansas.north and southern Illinois and most of Iowa. This may result in a rather bullish situa tion when the condition becomes more generally recognized. Country offerings to arrive were liberal. Some corn was booked early, but sellers were not Inclined to reduce their prices to meet the de cline In futures. Local receipts were esti mated at 115 cars. Oats dropped sharply with other grains. Selling was pretty general and much of It was termed liquidation. Selling by a prominent commission house featured the early trade. Support was very limited and consisted almost entirely of purchases against indemnities. Cash oats started lc low. No. 3 white sold at 4 4c under Sep tember and No. 4 white 6c under Sep tember. Movement of oats to primary markets continues comparatively heavy and hedging pressure is a weight on the market. Estimated receipts today 365 cars. Cash rye 4 to 24e lower; No. 2 sold at $1.091.114. Fit Notes. Eastern Interest were credited with eelling wheat on a big scale. Staln Alsteln was a heavy seller, this being ascribed by some to Llvermors and by some to Blum. 8outhwest cash Interests were credited with selling wheat, and northwest houses were said to have sold December. Minneapolis wired to Jackson Bros.: On the first of August the state law went into effect which stated that the seller of grains In markets In Minnesota must own the wheat, actually or potentially. While this phrase is vague and perhaps does not prohibit short selling, yet it is the observa tion that It has decreased the volume of business coming to the Minneapolis msr ket and It ha noticeably decreased the volume of speculative short selling. The result is liable to be a market In which j there is no pronounced short iptereat ex cept those professionals who are willing to take chances, and that the selling which does come in this market la going to bo largely in the form of straight, legitimate hedges, a character of selling which will not run on the bulges. This condition may upset the calculations of those who expect spring wheat to rule at larger premiums over other markets." The United States hay crop will bo about 75 per cent of that raised last year, according to R. M. White, president of the National Hay association. The short- ace is due to drouth and an extremely hot spell just before harvesting. The United Kingdom corn demand I less active, due to tbe rains and to the accumulation of Argentine corn on a larger scale. Exporters were Intimating bids of 44c over September c. 1. f., Buffalo for wheat. but there was little business. Private ca bles Indicated there had been some wheat and corn worked from the Atlantic seaboard. Frsnch reports say the wheat crop is better than a year ago. In Germany the bread grain have turned out well, but coarse grains and forage crops suffered materially from the drouth, the same aa in Eng'asd and France. CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES.

One of the striking differences be tween the sexes is the fact that the vocal chords or the voice-box of the male enlarges comparatively sudden ly, when the boy is about 14 or 15 years of age, while that of the female grows gradually along with the rest of her body. Boys' voices, there fore, "break" or suddenly alter their pitch, while those of girls are not subject to this peculiarity. This difference in development is due to the fact that the larynx of the male is much larger in proportion than that of the female, thus giving men deeper and more bass voices than women, whose larynxes have grown gradually and have not been subject to any sudden enlargement. But, while girls go along year after year using their vocal chords with the ease of long practice, the boy of 14 or 15 usually finds that a change has taken place in his voice, almost overnight. As a matter of fact, his larynx has enlarged and, as he is not familiar with the right way in which to use it, his voice frequently "breaks." He will use the treble rotes of childhood and the bass notes of young manhood in the same sen tences. As soon as he becomes ac customed to this change in his throat, he is able to control his tones, but until he learns to do this, he suffers from a vocal complaint com mon to practically all males of his age. (CoDvrlght. 1921. Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) I Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. Once again the sapphire rciK"s sii" prenie over mortal destiny and pre sides as both the talismanic and natal jewel for today. For tliote whose birth anniversary falls on this date it is the symbol of travel, and wear ing it insures many and profitable journeys into far countries. It was believed by the ancients that treasure hunts and other advantures, wilh wealth as the ultimate goal, were welt directed toward success if the leader of such an expedition wore a sapphire. Warn as a talisman, the sapphire is also believed to attract good for tune and to keep off evil influence. It preserves a woman's purity ami protects her from dangers. Accord ing to ancient superstition, it will change color and become almost vio let at the loss of virtue. Green is the color which should be given preference today. It is a symbol of travel and change, and should be especially lucky for those setting forth on a journey. Its sym bolism makes it a happv choice for the traveling gown of a bride who embarks on life's most hazardous journey. The cheery sunflower should bring luck on this day. It is proof against despondency and worry. Copyright, 1921, by The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc. Do You Know the Bible? (Cover up tha answers, read tha ques tions and see It you can answer them.
