Formation of a finance corporation to
extend credits to foreign copper consum
ers hHS been discussed by representa
tives of the big producers and affiliated
banking firms.
New York wire says that another buy

starting. Friday and Saturday consider
able metal changed hands at 1814 c and
slightly higher.
Supreme court today upheld the con
tention of the government that dividends
received in 1913 or thereafter, but paid
out of profits accruing prior to 1913, con
stitute taxable incomes under the 1913
income tax law.
Market letter by wire from New York
says that we have a very bullish argu
ment on rails from an unexpected source.
W. .1. Bryan out with an interview,
points out the fact that the law Is Just
what the corporations have been fight
ing for years In Europe affairs do not
look any too good and still it could have
beeu worse. The railroad employes are
asking for another big advance In wages.
If they get the increase the I. C. C. must
adjust rates accordingly. The present
bull market should continue, but you
have got to count on sharp reactions.
Grain and provisions letter by wire
from Chicago Bays: "Corn—Slow dis
tribution continues the immediate factor
in corn, the reason for today's advance
being the strength in the cash market,
where prices were lc to 4e higher. The
statistical and price position do not ar
gue for maintenance of present levels.
The visible is 2,557,000 bn larger than
last year. May is 15c higher than last
year, despite the above showing. The
market probably will show strength
pending a larger movement, but it does
not seem well to pin one’s faith to the
question of ability of railroads to move
freight.
“Oats—Such strength as appeared in
oats was gathered from the corn market.
There is some new demand for the July
on the theory of late season, which will
make the July an old crop month. Rains
over the west and southwest are needed.
“Provisions Lower hogs were over
come by the action of corn. This mar
ket gives some Indications of being over
bought and in condition for a reaction.”

Legislation Shares Attention,
of State Directors.
Better roads and better road legisla
tion were advocated today at a meeting
of the directors of the Indiana Federation
of Farmers at their headquarters, 14St
East Market street.
John Brown, who presided at the meet
ing, spoke briefly on the Importance of
the Hoosler farmers supporting the pro
gram of the association, and urged the
directors to stimulate interest in the vari
ous county organizations.
Among the other topics brought up for
discussion today were fertilizing sup
plies, twine purchasing, marketing con
ditions in Indiana and co-operative meth
ods of growing and distribution.
It was pointed out that co-operative
purchases of community farmers, com
munity marketing as far as possible, and
greater discussion of agricultural prob
lems in social centers were considered
essential to greater benefits for HoosllW*
farmers.
Mr. Brown predicted beneficial results
In county farmers’ organisations during
the coming year, an outgrowth of the
work of the Hoosler organization and the
Washington bureau In keeping a finger
ou the pulse of congressional interest in
farmers’ needs.
