Many grain dealers are taking advantage of this change in feeding method to find it brings them profits they never had before. Of 1 , 1 00 grain dealers who built elevators last year, over 400 built large feed warehouses in connection with them, carrying large stocks of ready mixed feeds to supply the demand of farmers whose grain they bought. Sucrene Feeds Offer Dealers Strongest Guarantee of Permanent Business Because they are not merely fall and winter sellers, but all year 'round sellers —no left-over stocks. Because they are distinctive among mixed feeds in being a complete line of correctly balanced, highly palatable, guaranteed quality rations for all live stock and poultry. Because dairymen and stock feeders find these feeds more economical to buy and more profitable to feed than ordinary rations. Because the name "Sucrene" has been made familiar to dairy men and stock raisers through continuous large space advertising and through 1 8 years' steadily growing popularity among leaders in the live stock business. ^llllllllllllllllHlllllllinillllHIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIMIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJ^ ^iiiiiiiHmiiiiiiiimiiiliHmiiiiiiiMiiiiliiuiiiimiiiminiiiiiii£ We co-operate closely and aggressively I The Sucrene \ | We solicit 1 Line 1 Includes: \ with dealers through our salesmen. consignments | 1 Sucrene Dairy Feed 1 We supply you with attractive literature on all Sucrene Feeds for 1 of grain for 1 Sucrene Calf Meal | | free distribution among your farmer customers.

    Why Millers Prefer to Hedge at the Kcbot and Grain Elevator Operators at the Cbot

    Why millers prefer to hedge at the KCBoT and grain elevator operators at the CBoT Sören Prehn1, Jan-Henning Feil2 1 Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO), Halle, [email protected] 2 Georg August University Goettingen, Goettingen, [email protected] Contribution presented at the XV EAAE Congress, “Towards Sustainable Agri-food Systems: Balancing Between Markets and Society” August 29th – September 1st, 2017 Parma, Italy Copyright 2017 by Sören Prehn and Jan-Henning Feil. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. Why millers prefer to hedge at the KCBoT and grain elevator operators at the CBoT Abstract In this paper, we analyze why grain elevator operators tend to hedge hard red winter wheat at the CBoT and not at the KCBoT. They do so because they trade not only the basis but also the premium risk. Like the basis, also premiums of hard red winter wheat have a tendency to increase after harvest. Only a short hedge in the lower priced CBoT wheat contract makes it possible to participate in a post-harvest premium increase. For this reason, grain elevator operators favor a loose hedge at the CBoT. Our results underscore the importance of premium risk for hedging decisions.

  • Grain Elevators and Processes

    Grain Elevators and Processes

    9.9.1 Grain Elevators And Processes 9.9.1.1 Process Description1-14 Grain elevators are facilities at which grains are received, stored, and then distributed for direct use, process manufacturing, or export. They can be classified as either "country" or "terminal" elevators, with terminal elevators further categorized as inland or export types. Operations other than storage, such as cleaning, drying, and blending, often are performed at elevators. The principal grains and oilseeds handled include wheat, corn, oats, rice, soybeans, and sorghum. Country elevators are generally smaller elevators that receive grain by truck directly from farms during the harvest season. These elevators sometimes clean or dry grain before it is transported to terminal elevators or processors. Terminal elevators dry, clean, blend, and store grain before shipment to other terminals or processors, or for export. These elevators may receive grain by truck, rail, or barge, and generally have greater grain handling and storage capacities than do country elevators. Export elevators are terminal elevators that load grain primarily onto ships for export. Regardless of whether the elevator is a country or terminal, there are two basic types of elevator design: traditional and modern. Traditional grain elevators are typically designed so the majority of the grain handling equipment (e.g., conveyors, legs, scales, cleaners) are located inside a building or structure, normally referred to as a headhouse. The traditional elevator often employs belt conveyors with a movable tripper to transfer the grain to storage in concrete or steel silos. The belt and tripper combination is located above the silos in an enclosed structure called the gallery or bin deck.

  • Sir Edmund Walker

    Sir Edmund Walker

    SIR EDMUND WALKER C. W. COLBY BORN in 1848, Sir Edmund Walker belonged to the generation which was just coming to manhood when the Dominion of Canada took the place of British North America. As he joined the staff of the Canadian Bank of Commerce less than thirteen months after Confederation, it may be said that his career coincided exactly with the period which has elapsed since Canada undertook to become a nation of the modem world. This fact has more meaning than could be attached to a mere chronological coincidence. It may be associated with the central motive of his life. Starting out at a moment when patriotism was in the air, he became a patriot in the fullest sense. There seems never to have been a time when public spirit did not inspire his aspirations and impel his acts. Through­ out fifty-six years of incessant effort he continued to plan and give and build for the benefit of Canada. Lord Milner has said that when he thinks of the British Empire he does not feel impelled to wave a flag, but rather to go off by him­ self in a corner and pray. Sir Edmund Walker's patriotism was of the same character. At least it lacked wholly the flamboyant quality which one associates with fervid rhetoric and boisterous flag-waving. Moreover with him, as with the Benedictine monk. to labour was to pray. He built up a great bank, and had every possible opportunity to secure information, by the most legitimate means, which through thought and planning could be made to yield large personal profits in cash.

    Corn Exchange 1891-1892

    Berwick Advertiser 1891 Berwick Advertiser 1891 January 23, p. 2, column 5. BERWICK CHORAL UNION. MARITANA. Last night the members of Berwick Choral Union gave their 22nd annual concert in the Corn Exchange, which was filled by a numerous and appreciative audience. The work selected for performance this year was Vincent Wallace’s charming opera “Maritana,” which shares with “Lurline” a large measure of popular favour. The chief features of “Maritana” are its florid orchestration and its fine melodies. The dramatis personae of the opera are Maritana, a handsome gitana, soprano; Lazarillo, mezzo-soprano; Don Caesar de Bazan, tenor; Don Jose de Santarem, baritone; Captain of the Guard, baritone; the King, bass; the Alcade, bass; chorus and soldiers, gipsies and populace. The argument is as follows: Maritana, whilst singing to a crowd of people in a square in Madrid, attracts the admiration of the King of Spain. Don Jose, who is an unscrupulous courtier, observing this, determines to satisfy the King’s whim, and then to betray him to the Queen, with whom he is bold enough to be madly in love. Don Caesar de Bazan, who is an impetuous spendthrift, arrives upon the scene, and in order to protect Lazarillo, who is a poor boy, from arrest, challenges the Captain of the Guard, an action which by a recent edict of the King entails death by hanging. He is arrested and imprisoned, but by Don Jose’s influence his sentence is changed to the more soldier-like death of being shot, on condition that he marries a veiled lady; this he consents to do.

Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 502 ii ABSTRACT The structure of the Canadian banking system, and the establishment of strong chartered banks at a relatively early stage, have overshadowed banking institutions that operated outside the chartered system. The non-chartered or private banks can be categorized into three groups: the joint stock banks of the 1830s, the urban private bankers who appeared in the 1850s and after, and the small-town private banks of the post-1868 period. AJI three types of private banks were established to fill perceived niches in the chartered bank system. Those of the 1830s possessed an anti-establishment, hinterland bias. The urban private bankers specialized in savings and foreign exchange transactions, and often branched out into insurance, debentures, and ultimately stocks and bonds. The small town private banks began and prospered when the needs of small hinterland communities outpaced the inclination and ability of chartered banks to provide them with banking facilities. Unlike the urban private bankers, those in small towns offered a full range of banking services, and they often acted as insurance and real estate agencies as well.

Introduction The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was started in 1933 as one of the New Deal make-work programs, to employ jobless architects, draftspeople, and photographers. Its purpose is to document the nation’s architectural heritage, especially those buildings that are in danger of ruin or deliberate destruction. Today, the HABS is part of the National Park Service and its repository is in the Library of Congress, much of which is available online at loc.gov. Of the tens of thousands HABS buildings, I found 44 Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been digitized. Each HABS survey includes photographs and/or drawings and/or a report. I’ve included here what the Library of Congress had–sometimes all three, sometimes two of the three, and sometimes just one. There might be a single photo or drawing, or, such as in the case of Florida Southern College (in volume two), over a hundred.
