One of the seemingly paradoxical
fond tio"i which have occat'oncd
part of the difficulty met with in all
the attempts to report accurately
business and industrial condition!
ha been characteristic uf the Ninth
Federal Ktaerve iliatrkt. That i oiie(i; h. i v., wt 3

who is chairman of the board of di

the Ninth Federal Reserve district,
calls attention, however, to to two
lia 'nes which he speal:s of as both

was the hre and rruch carl'er than

that builJ'HK operat-'ons continue in

Another niece of now which waa re
reived todny In New York from this fed
eral re a've il'lrlrt telle an additional
mory of bountiful harvest. The farmer,
who havo cultivated Indian corn a-o har
vesting a larger crop this year than at
Anv other time alnre the farmer beTan
to Plant corn In that district. In four
ntatoe which are In district. Minnesota,
North Dakota. South Dakota and Mon
tana, almost exactly 2eo.000.000 bushels of
Indian corn haa been harvested and thla
Is a'most lu per cent mirs man tne corn
fle'da In those a'ats yielded last year.
Probablv the greatr part of this corn
will bo utlllaed es food for livo stock.
Jt will aid In Increased production of live
atock and also in Improving tho quality
of the meat,
Lumber Sales Increase.
A year ago tho lumner men were In
ilcspair becaure of the falling off In the
aalo of lumber. Thia year that despair
is partially gone because the ealca of
lumber by retailers Increased 20 per cent
and by whoteralcra 34 per cent.
Not the least Interesting of the detail
ed Information which came from the
northwest this mo-nlng Is the statement
that the spring wheat crop was superior
in quality from the milling and baking
point of view to any wheat harvested
. . . , , . , . 1 .one I... i
in mil amines ioo mirei iovcm
millers say that they do not recall a
time when wheat baa averaged ro high
in gluten content, which la its chief food
value. Whether this' has been due to
favorable weather, to better cultivation,
to tho increase of Intensive farming Is
not known, but the fact remains. The
farmers of the northweat have harvested
a whestt this year which In malting flour
that is almost pe-;ect both from the
bakers' and the families' view points.
There aopears to havo been knowldFte
elnewhero of this record-making high
quality of the wheat which has been har
vested In the northwest this year. That
is proved by the fact that tho Minneapolis
market is now tha highest market in the
United f'tates because spring wheat flour
commands the-e Jl.'O, sometlmea $3, a
barrel more than flour produced from
wheat harvested In any other district In
the Ujlted States.
Highest Protein Content.
This Is exnlalned by the analysis made
by science which reports that while the
average protein content of wheat la about
J 3 per cent thla year tho wheat harvested
by the farmers of the northwest which
has now reached Minneapolis has a pro
tein content as high as 20 per cent and
this is one of the highest figures for
wheat reported from any wheat-projuc-.
ina; section either In tha Urlted States
or In any other wheat-producing country
In the world.
Tet in srlte of the bountiful harvest
of the nortbweat there was an increase
In business failures in the Ninth district
during the month of August. In fact
these failures reached a' new record. In
all probobllty thea failures were occa
sioned by the conditions which prevailed
early thia year and throughout the year
1920. ,
The dairy products of the four states
which were named In an earlier paragraph
bring about $125,000,000 a year to the dairy
farmers of those states. This industry
is growing ranldly and It is the opinion
of tho authorities in the northwest that
witbln two or th-ee years the dairy
product will exceed to wheat crop rn
financial importance. The greater part of
the dairy production is In the state of
Minnesota and it Is probably three times
aa Valuable to the dairy farmers of that
state aa is tha total wheat production
in tho state. Within 10 year Minnesota
has advanced from the seventh place to
tho fifth place among the states in the
product'on of dairy products. This latest
report from the great northwest Is looked
upon he-e aa one of the most encouraging
of all of the reports that tell of agricul
ture In the United States In the year 121.

New York, Oct. 10. Interest in
today's tinanrial situation was fo
cused primarily on the foretun ex
changes, and more specifically upon
sterling, which touched f J b7 and re
nted to fJojli. At the latter price,
however, there was a Rain of 4Wc,
this coming as a sequel to a big
rise last week. As compared with
Monday a week ago, today's cloning
fijures repreented a sra:n of ap
proximately Uc. At the quotation
of $3.87, sterling was at th highest
point since June 3, when jt sold at
?J89, and only slightly more than
Uc under the hiih for the year. The
strength in sterling was transmitted
in uart. at least, to other exchanges
ceveral of which touched a new high
for the year, including aw tzerland,
at $18.18, as well as two of the far
eastern rates, I'ekin and Manila.
Exchange on Amsterdam was up
about 'jC the Scandinavians show
mg substant'al recoveries, Denmark
leading with a gain o! c trench
francs were up slightly and ex
change on Madrid was strong.
The advance In sterling was attributable
to several Influence. For one thing, grain
and cotton mills, which would act aa a
depressing factor, are not In the ma kft
In any great quantity. England'a foreign
trade figures, also, showed a further cut
ting down of tha excess of Imports, and
more than paaalng attention Is being paid
to the hopeful statement by Lloyd George
that financial conditions in Europe are
on the mend.
In th atock market prices tended to
be reactionary, and the call rate, alter re
newing at S per cent, rose to 4 per cent
at tho close. It la the hlgheat rate since
Augu.t 18 and the announcement of gov
ernmant withdrawals of $24,000,000 waa
a factor or importance In making ror a
higher rate of demand loaua. Trading
once again waa dull, although there a p.
peared to be some alight public interest in

true ago, Oct 10, i he c advance
in the price of wheat was made dur
ing the last 10 minutes of trading.
Locals depressed prices after .mid
day on a belief that the vis.ble sup
ply would aca-n show a tig increase
Eastern houtes picked up the wheat
on the break and when the visible
supply statement was delayed locals
were forced to cover rather than to
stav on their line over night.
The visible supply was posted a
minute or two before the close and
showed an increase of 2,I08.(X0
bushels, which included St Joseph
stocks of l.l.V.OK) bushels, the first
report from this point There was
heavy covering of short wheat
throughout the session, pit observers
claim. Corn was weak and finished
3-4c to 1 1-Bc lower, while oats were
unchanged. Rye was lrl2c higher
on buying by exporters, while barley
closed unchanged.
Wheel Si arts Hlgber.
Th start in wheat waa higher because
of the bullish government report. A
further reduction In the spring wheal
promise tended to check ihe bearish
tendencies of the pit rrowd. Shortly aft.,r
the market ouened. rubor l uf a raiiur
of an Dalian grain houae, which were
later denied, eeucd liquidation and the
crowd again took to the short elds. Com.
mission houses ware good buyers on the
oresa ana later inrrs waa heavy buying
by northwestern Intereata. which fnrrtut
shorts Into covering. The sensational ad.
vance or ia in sterling exchange also
was a big factor.
The movement of wheat la deoraaalne

wat continue to market wheat In good,
ly auantltlea. Wlnnlne arrival km
heavy. Local recelpta. were estimated at
SO cars.
Cera Inclined to Itavg.
Corn waa inclined to drar for Decem
ber delivery, bul Hay reflected the
trensth In wheat. Thero was heavy sell
ing ot me nearby ruturea by local pro
fessionals and by eastern Interests. The
baying waa scattered. The crop report
was bullish, but heavy receipts offset the
effect ot the figures. The new corn In
Saturday was officially Inspected today
aa No. 4 white, teatlng IS. 4 per cent
molature and aold for only 8$ oents.
Country offerings to arrive were smaller
and cash men believe ihe heavy receipts
will be over aflr this week. Local re
ceipts were estlmatd at 1.150 cara.
oats started out miner, put weakened
with wheat, only to rally again ahortly
after: Volume of trade was fairly large,
with prominent commisaton houaea acllvo
on the buying side early In the day, and
there also was a demand from locals be
cause of the bullish government crop re
port Issued Saturday, which showed a re
duction ot 11,763,000 buahela alnce Sep
tember 1. The break In wheat caused
early sellers to unload, but they rein
stated their lines later.
Rye was firmer. Cash No. 2 sold at
85 0 87c, and No. 4 at 84c.
Pit Notes.
Quito a little wheat Is moving In the
southwest, according to Kansas City ad
vices, but interior mills are outbidding
Kansas City. Consignments, however, are
fair ,and the domestic shipping board de
mand l moderate.
Winnipeg wired that while the pressure
there waa light, the trade were atlll ex
tremely bearish, and inclined to follow
any weakness at Chicago.
Bennett had a St. Loula message quot
Ing a press report to the effect that Gua
O. Nations, acting supervisor of the state
blue sky department, announced today
that he had formerly notified tha Farm
ers' Finance corporation that it would
not be authorized to sell any of ls $100,
000,000 issue of preferred stock in Mis
souri. This concern is a subsidiary of the
United States Grain Grower', Inc., an
organization designed to enable grain
growers to market their crops col
lectively. Larger Bun Than Kxpected. .
Some receivers look lor a smaller run
of corn after this week, but the fast that,
new corn la already beginning to move in
small quantltlea Is causing a conserva
tive -view to prevail in regard to re
ceipts-. The movement baa kept, larger
and longer now than many receivers ex-

tne fluctuations ot the unemployed
masses, but tnere has been uoming
like today, In l'AV tne index fig
ure lor unemployed was 2.5 per cent
ot tne trade umon.sts. rour per cent
was the average up to lvos and iwv,
when a crisis anu much distress and
unrest was reached, with 7.8 per cent
unemployed.
1 hereafter the figure dropped to 3
per cent and unemployment practi
cally disappeared during war time,
dropping to 0.4 in 1916.
' Jxineteen-twenty was a good year,
while the post-war trade boom lasted,
the yearly average being 2.4 per
cent 1 he boom crashed in the
autumn, however, and the December
figure was 6 per cent.
Sixteen Per Cent Idle.
Today 16 per cent of the trade
unionists are unemployed.
riundreus of thousands are work
ing for the barest living wage inen
and women for unskilled labor re
ceiving 20 to SO shill.nas ($3.75 to
$y) weekly, which does not pay for
the necessities of life for a family
group.
Meanwhile every agency ot tne
government is concentrating on a
stimulation of trade whereby Great
Britain hopes to start its export
wheels of industry. A huge scheme
for extend ng credit up to 85 per
cent of value to shove out .high-
priced goods with which Great Brit
ain's warehouses are congested, is
being considered. This would help
many manufacturing industries.
It is expected the prime minister
will present a scheme for extension
of temporary doles to bridge the
crisis of winter distress when parlia
nent convenes on October 8, but
Great Brtain, including even the un
employed have lost faith in the
dole idea, which will be abandoned
as soon as poss:ble.
