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.

favorable In Nebraska. Abundant rain has
fallen there and has protected the crops

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

crease In tho market price for agricultural
products as compared with prices aa
these wore In U20 and for several years
earlier.
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.
There reports from tho south, suggest
that diversification or icrops nas Den

states, Heretofore they have Been pnnci
nllv nccunied in the cultivation of cot
ton and tobacco. Until within a few
yeara Louisiana did not realize that It
possessed a soil as well adapted to the
cultivation of Indian corn as of sugar cano

Cattle Receipta of cattle were quite
moderate this morning, the supply being
estimated at 3,500 head, most of which
were notive corn-fed steers. 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.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
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.

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.

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.
