COMPLETE and ACCURATE MARKET REPORTS
COATING OF ICE
HAMPERS STATE
Roads Almost Impassable Say
Reports—Snow Tonight.
Indianapolis and Indiana still wavered
today under a coating of ice.
Public service facilities continued on
an uneven schedule in some districts
and teams and automobiles floundered
along highways. Many roads leading
Into the city are almost impassable.
The Ice which came with Friday’s sleet
and rain storm and subsequent thaw
gives little promise of disappearing, ac
cording to the forecast for tonight. Then,
too, the weather prognosticator says It
may snow.
NORTHWEST TO
GET RELIEF.
“Light <snow flurries tonight, followed
by fair and colder weather Sunday,” is
the prediction.
The cold wave which has held the
northwest states in Its grip for several
days will life during the next twenty
four according to weather reports
from the affected districts.
Lewiston, N. D., reported tha coldest
weather in the United States, with the
mercury 24 degrees beldw zero. It was
46 below at Jvdmonton, Alberta, early
today. A heavy snow fall was reported
in the. region of the great lakes.
SOME POINTS
IN DISTRESS.
From many points !n Indiana still
come reports of distress growing out of
the “ice storm.”
Because of the Icy condition of the
roads business suffered in many towns,
farmers ( refusing to drive to town. At
Greensburg the schools were closed at
noon yesterday to protect children from
possible injuij on icy sidewalks.
Mrsr. John C. Corn of Velpen, Ind.,
suffered a fractured skull when she fell
near her home. Many others were 1*
jured in falls.
Two Letters on Way
27 Years; ‘Receiver*
Dead for 20 Years
J.EXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 24—Nearly
twenty-seven years ago, on Sept. 11, 1893,
a letter was mailed to Mrs. John Marlon
Brown from Medford, Mass., and In 1894,
a letter was mailed to Mrs. Brown from
Hopedale, Mass., both addressed to her
here. Both letters arrived today, hav
ing taken twenty-seven and twenty-six
years, respectively, to make the trip.
Mrs. Brown has been dead twenty
years. No return address Is on the en
velopes. The twenty-seven-year-old let
ter has only the Medford postmark. The
other Is postmarked “Grand Central Sta
tion, New York, Jafi. 9, 1920.”
The letters were mailed to Mrs.
Brown’s daughter, Mrs. Henry M. Waite,
105 East Fifty-third street, New York.
Exhibit Leather
From Shark Skins
ROSTON, Jan. 21—Conspicuous among
the many substitutes for the conventional
leather used today exhibited at the shoe
6how is the display of leather made from
shark ekin.
The shark was placed some time ago
very much in theliinelight over the ques
tion of whether or not his “meat” was a
good substitute for the accepted food.
Now, it seems, he Is being exhibited from
a different- angle.
The dried, rough ekin of certain va
rieties of shark, called shagreen, has
always been used for covering such ar
ticles that have handles and scabbards for
swords, and for ornamental purposes, but
it was not until recently that a process
for making it into durable leather was
discovered. It has now been sufficiently
developed to permit its use in all kinds
of shoes, book bindings, trunks, bags,
harness, etc.

Buyers were right when they expected
a greatly curtailed supply of hogs for
the final market this week, but the run
of 6,500 proved to be as large as necessary
to accommodate the demand. The In
quiry from outside sources was for only
about 1,000 hogs several times less than
they have been taking for some time and
the local demand stopped at 5,500 hogs,
but this provided an outlet for the en
tire supply. Instead of higher pricas, as
might be expected with such a decrease
In the receipts, they were lower so far
ns the general average was concerned.
The lightest hogs averaging less than 225
pounds were steady at sl6, but the next
heavley kind up to 250 pounds average
were 10c lower at $15.90, and the heaviest
hogs at $15.75 were 25c lower. There
was a somewhat lower market for pigs
from sls down and the sows from $14.25
down were steady.
There were nearly 25,000 fewer hogs
this week than last week and only a
few more than 1,000 less than the same
week a year ago. This slump in Supplies
alone -was conducive to a higher move
ment In prices and the final sales of
the week were 50c higher than they
were on the closing market last week,
but slightly lower than the highest mar
ket this week, on Friday/ There was
a continuation of prime quality.
CATTLE.
The run of 500 cattle was a little
larger than ordinarily expected on the
final market of the week, but no larger
than necessary to accomodate the de
man, which was good for Saturday. Con
sequently there was active compet.tiou
between buyers and sales In the different
departments reflected prices were full
steady with those for the day before.
Steers, heifers, cows and bulls all sold
promptly and this indicated the demand
this week was not well supplied. The
receipts for the week were more than
1,000 smaller thJln last week, and the
nearest normal at the beginning of the
week. Since then the trend of affairs
has been favorable to sellers and the bulk
of the killing cattle at the close of this
week were eeMing &Oc higher than they
were on Monday. There was a strong
market for calves on Saturday and the
: general sales were about s<)c higher Ulan
. they were earlier in the week, but the
i practical top price, $22, was the same for
! five consecutive days. There was a light
I Saturday trade lu the market for feed*
i lng cattle and the outlet this week, de
spite a decline of 50c In prices, was
limited.
SHEEP.
There were not enough sheep and
lambs In the receipts of fewer than 100
to interest the usual number of buyers,
but there seemed to be no difficulty In
finding an outlet at steady prices, as
compared with those of the day before.
TKe general sales of lambs from S2O
down are now 50c higher than a week
ago. Sheep continued steady from $lO
down. Two new records, $20.25 for lambs
and $lB for yearlings, were established
for the local market this week.

On Commission Row
California shell peas in drums ar
rived from California. Dealers priced
them at $5.50 drum.
Celery from Hudsonville, Mich., was an
arrival. Selling at $3.75 crate. California
celery is hard to get and the price has
gone up to sll to sl2 crate. Dealers say
there are no available supplies of celery
in the market.
Barely enough receipts of leaf lettuce
are arriving daily to supply the demand,
dealers report. Demand is not up to
normal, but the price is partly responsi
ble, dealers think. Lettuce is selling at
24 cents a pound.
Onions are due for an advance, dealers
say. The Australian brown onion if now
selling in California at a price .that will
force the local price to $8.50 a hundred
weight. Indiana* are getting scarcer and
the price is getting firmer.
Lemons went to $5.30 to $6 a box on
strength of heavy demand made by Chi
cago. Lemons are selling there for $7 to
$8 box. The flue epidemic has stimulated
the demand to abnormal proportions,
dealers say. Chicago Is buying lemons
in the local market for the first time in
the history of the row.

aided the bullish movement.
The 'market was dull and local. Cash
grain was also firmer, with little left on
the table at the close. Provisions were
higher "with light hog receipts.

Orchard Trees Need
Fertilizer and Care
Orchard trees, like other crops, often
are greatly helped by the judicious use
of fertilizer. The grower, however, is
often at a loss to know whether or not
his trees need fertilizing and he is at
nu equal loss to know what to use to
best advantage if any fertilizer is to be
applied. The appearance and the previous
behavior of the tree is the best index
to the tree’s needs, according to V. R. j
Gardner of the Missouri College of j
Agriculture.
If the bearing tree has been making j
a 'Strong, vigorous growth the new
shoots each year being eight to twelve
inches long; if It has been producing’
Inrge crops of good sized fruit, and if
tile foliage has been abundant and of a
healthy dark green color, there is little j
need of fertilizer. On the other hand,
If the growth has been poor, crops poor,
and foliage sparse and light colored,
fertilizer is probably needed.
Orchard fertilizer Investigations dur
ing recent years conducted In different
parts of the United States indicate that
nitrogen is the element most likely to
be needed by fruit trees. Apparently
this can best be supplied to fruit trees ;
in the form of some quickly available
commercial fertilizer, such as nitrate of
soda or sulpliase of ammonia.
An appliactlon of five or six pounds of
the nitrate or four or five pounds of the
sulphate to a tree is generally sufficient
for good -results in the case of average
sized twelve to twenty-five-year-old trees.
The application should bo made in early
spring Just as growth Is starting, and
the material should be spread upon the
land so as to cover an area around the
trees at least equal to the spread of the
branches. Many orchards which show
signs of decltnlng v would be greatly
benefited by such a fertilizer treatment.
The point should be emphasized, how
ever, that application of fertilizer will
not take the place of Orchard care in
other respects. It musls be accompanied
by good pruning and (spraying, and if
possible good cultlvajlou, to give tile
best results.. M ~ *

Today’s Market Gossip
Federal Reserve bank increases rates
for ninety-day commercial pane" * "-o
: 4% to 6 per cent, and loans on Liberty
i bonds and Victory notes irom lv , ~
per cent. Rates advanced in Boston and
Philadelphia also.
Minneapolis wires: “Dark No. 1
wheat, unchanged; lower grades slow
and 5 to 10c lower; barley, dull, 1 to 2c
j lower; rye, slow 1 to l%e under May.
| Exports bids % to %c down from yester
day. Oats steady, unchanged. Rather in

New York broker says he can not
! conceive any hope for any immediate
| betterment as a result of federal reserve
; action. Increased rates means liqutda
j tlon not alone In securities, but in mer
j '-handlse and commodities. ,Contraction
' is Inevitable.'
I Chicago dispatch says the cash mar
kets at the end of the week are ordi-
I narily slow. In addition to the usanl
slowness the cash demand is now in
fluenced by what amounts to a blanket
embargo against eustern shipment*. Any
decline in cash will be reflected in de
ferred deliveries. However, It is not to
be expected that any rea! weakness will
appear because the movement is light
and other markets are overbidding Chi
cago.
New York stock letter by wire says:
“The action of the New York Reserve
bank yesterday should surprise no one.
It was generally expected and was dis
cussed sufficiently so to remove the ele
ment of surprise. What Is more inter
esting at the moment than the action It
self is the effect on business. Not only
will it be difficult to obtain new* loans
for other than commercial purposes, but
many 6f the existing loans' w ill have to
be liquidated at maturity. This will re
duce to a minimum speculation in com
modities that has been the undoubted
cause of much of our financial troubles
and popular discontent and the point
that remains in doubt, so far as the
stock market is concerned, is to what
extent the business of the country will
he effected, both domestic and export.
At the moment it looks bearish all
around and prices ought to work lower.”
