CRUCIBLE LEADS
IN STOCK MARKET
Extra Dividend Causes Shorts
to Rush to Cover.
NEW YORK, July 17.—The stock mar
ket closed steady today. Covering by
shorts caused a steady tone in the late
dealings, nearly all the leading issues
moving up about a point to new high
levels for the day.
Crucible Steel featured the dull and
listless opening of the market. A rush
of shorts to cover forced the issue up
"Va points to 155%, from which it re
acted to 150, and tnen rallied to 152%.
The activity was due to an extra divi
dend declared at a special meeting of
the directors Friday.
Trading became dull at the end of the
first hour. There was some evening up
of committments, but it had little effect
on prices. Invincible Oil at its best price
was up 2 points from Friday’s low.
Government bonds were unchanged,
and railway and other bonds steady.
Sales today were 1.H.000 shares: bonds,
$5,066,000. Total sales for the week were
3,106,700 shares; bonds, $59,007,000.

—July 17—
Today’s session was a typical holiday
affair. Attendance was light, the vol
ume of business was moderate and fluc
tuations recorded were without special
significance.
Traders were not concerned about
money today and probably unwilling to
press the selling side of the market, in
view of the sharp decline that was ex
r perienoed the past week. This created
an appearance of stability.
The two chief news items were the
stock dividend by Crucible and anew
financing plan by the United States Rub
ber Company.
There was a fair degree of activity
in a t,-w ot the raiis. particularly South
ern railway.
The action of the general market will,
of course, oe governed tuis coming vv-ces
by the same factors that have been of
influence during the recent pi*r, but in
view of the known policy of the banks,
funds can hardly be anticipated,
except now and then for short periods,
and without this it will be difficult to
establish a permanently higher level for
stocks.

Stock Market Review
NEW YORK, July 17.—The Evening
Sun stock market review this afternoon
said:
“Trading fell to small volume, while
price movements were uncertain and nar
row.
“The selling movement of yesterday
appeared to have pretty well run its
course, yet there was no disposition to
turn to the buying side and mark up
prices, although such little news as there
was overnight was constructive.
“Railroad stocks were very irregular,
with price changes for the most part
inconsequential and representative of
little more than professional operations.
“The steels, equipments and oils rose
fractionally.
“Crucible Steel responded to the an
nouncement of another stock dividend
declaration by advancing 8% points to
1555% in the early trading, followed by
a partial reaction.”

A further upturn was effected in hog
prices today, the brisk inquiry from
shippers being a big factor in the
strength of the market.
Prices were unevenly higher, and the
bulk of good hogs sold at $16.25@16.40,
with a top of $16.50. This was 50 cents
above the general level of Friday.
Trading was of the usual week-end
character, and all orders were filled
early. Five thousand hogs were on hand
with 1,600 left over from the previous
session.
Receipts were light and dealings quiet
in the cattle division. Only 300 cattle
were available, but the demand was
light and as a result prices were steady.
Steadiness also prevailed in calves.
Trading was narrow, with the best veal
calves selling at $15.50(g16. Receipts
totaled 450 calves.
Sheep and lambs were unchanged, the
best sheep bringing $5.50 and the best

WHEAT FUTURES
RECEDE SHARPLY
Fractional in Corn and Oats—
Provisions Higher.
CHICAGO, July 17. —Favorable crop
reports from responsible observers bore
down on future prices on the Board of
Trade. The effect of the reports was no
ticeable, especially in wheat, which fell
as far as 15c on some exchanges, 9c being
the biggest drop here.
Reports of large yields where the crop
has been harvested also had an effect.
Corn and oafs were somewhat lower
In sympathy with wheat.
Provisions worked lower, but rose with
better hog prices here.
(By Thomson & McKinnon.)
—July 17—
Belated short covering and rather
light receipts started corn higher, but
the market encountered selling by east
ern houses and responded readily, as
new demand was of distinctly small pro
portions.
Despite the decrease in receipts, the
cash market shows no strength. De
liveries on July contracts have totaled
about 1,250,000 bushels and there Is prob
ability of further deliveries before the
month is completed.
Thorough liquidation of unnecessary
holdings will make it possible to rally
prices without much opposition, but, at
the same time, there is nothing in the
crop news or the cash demand to war
rant any protracted advance.
The market gives indications of await
ing developments before taking any de
cided trend. Crop conditions probably
will be of more influence than recently.
Rather high temperatures in the ex- ;
treme northwest together with buying :
of December oats by cereal interests, :
have given the market a degree of firm- i
ness.
Beyond the buying by industries there
is no important demand.
Unfavorable weather mny rally prices
to some extent, but the action of the
market is to be found in the trend of
corn prices.
Offerings o? cash wheat from the coun
try were on a fairly general scale and
at lower prices.
The British commission is reported to
have re-entered the market. Neverthe- j
less, the buying power in the futures
was negligible.
There Is a possibility of higher tem
peratures in the northwest which may
rally the market.

GOODRICH COAL
BOARD MEASURE
PASSES HOUSE
(Continued From Page One.)
and individuals engaged in the sale and
distribution of such food products, and
to make recommendations to the governor
for preparation of a bill to be presented
to the next general assembly recommend
ing such laws as will prevent profiteer
ing, hoarding and destroying of such
food products by wholesalers, retailers or
individuals engaged in handling them.
The Phelps amendment was adopted by
an overwhelming vote.
ONLY TWO OF
SAME** PARTY.
The. Goodrich coal commission bill pro
vides that the governor, the lieutenant
governor and the speaker of the house
each shall appoint a member of the In
diana state coal commission, but only
two shall be of any one political party.
The bill gives the governor the entire
power to remove any member of the
commission when the chief executive
feels that It Is in interest of the pub
lic welfare, and the governor has the
right to appoint the successor of the
member who is removed.
Members of the house contended that
the person who appointed the removed
member should have the power to ap
point the successor to the member re
moved by the governof.
The‘chair Indicated that a correction
would be made to provide for that.
The commission Is given the power to
appoint as many clerks and deputies as
necessary to carry on the work of the
commission and to make all the rules
pertaining to hearings and the fixing of
rates.
The commission Is given complete au
thority to order any coal company to pro
duce all books, reports of. production,
costs of mining and transportation, and
fixes a heavy penalty including a year’s
sentence at the Indiana state farm for
any persons refusing to comply wicii
the orders of the commission.
The bill provides hat each company
mining coal In Indiana shall register
with the commission and pay a yearly
license fee of $25.
The bill fixes the wholesale dealers li
sense fee at $lO and the retailer's fee
at $5.
FEES TO BE USED
TO FAY’ EXPENSES.
All fees so paid are to be used to pay
the salaries and the expenses of the com
mission.
In discussing the power of the com
mission to regulate and fix the price af
all coal mined in Indiana, the bill pro
vides that the commission shall hold a
public hearing preparatory to the fixing
of the prices of coal at the mines and
the wholesale and retail prices of the
coal.
The prices so fixed shall not be less
than the actual cost of production plus
transportation price and a fair return
of profit.
The commission also has the power to
fix maximum and minimum coal prices,
and to require all coal mining companies
In the state to list with the commission
the number of tons mined.
It is specifically stated that any prices
or regulations fixed by the state coal
commission shall in no way affect coal
in interstate shipments or to apply to
any mine or mines under any federal
control or Jurisdiction.
The bill provides that suits to test the
validity of the orders fixing prices of
coal shall be filed in the Marion coun
ty circuit court, and the court in de
termining prices shall consider the cost
of production plus transportation, to
which is to be added a fair margin of
profit.

COMMISSION CAN
CONDEMN ANY MINE.
- One of the most objectionable features
of the bill, as favored by Gov. Good
rich, Is that it gives the commission the
right "to condemn any mine,” accord
ing to Representative Miller of Ma
rlon.
This section, which is No. 19, is looked
upon as "a Joker.”
This “joker” provides that if the state
should take any coal mine all funds de
rived from the sale of coal in the state
owned mine should be placed in a spe
cial fund to be used in operating such a
mine or paying compensation to the own
ers of the mine.
Representatives claim that this "joker"
virtually gives the coal commission the
power to condemn any mine for the pur
pose of obtalniug coal for state Insti
tutions.
It is pointed out that Section 19 would
give the governor a state-owned mine for
a limited period.
It is evident, according to some mem
bers, that the governor seeks to obtain
a state-owned mine tot a limited period,
at least, by means of this “Joker,” when
he realizes that the house would never
pass a state-owned coal mine bilL

therein the deputies shall receive $4 a
day for each day actually employed.
In townships having a population of
5,000 or more the salary of the assessor
shall be S3OO a year, with S3O additional
for each 1,000 or fraction thereof of pop
ulation above 5,000, and not more than
20,000, the bill provides.
20,009 TOWN PAYS
SALARY OF SI,OOO.
it is also provided that in townships
having a population of over 20,000 and
not more than 75,000, the assessor shall
receive not less than SI,OOO nor more than
$1,700 a year, which amount is to be de
termined by the county comissloners.
In townships containing a population
of over 75,000 and not more than 100,000,
each assessor shall receive $2,000 a year
as full pay for services.
In townships containing a popnlation
of over 100,000 and not over 200,000 or in
any township where the asssessed valua
tion as shown by the last preceding as
sessment amounts to $1,000,000 of tax
ables or more, the assessor shall re
ceive an annual salary of $3,000 a year.
The Bidaman amendment would change
the word one hundred thousand in the
above paragraph to $90,000,000 of tax
ables or more.
The Bldaman amendment also pro
vides that the township assessors in any
township having an assessed valuation
of $90,000,000 or more, has the power to
engage deputy assessors and accountants
at not to exceed $6 a day for as long a
time as the assessor directs.
That part of the amendment is ob
jected to by some members on the
grounds that it gives the township as
sessor power to engage as many deputies
as he wants.
A vigorous debate is expected on the
Bldaman amendment Monday afternoon
in the house as some members think
the amendment is ‘vicious” and too in
definite.
