—Aug. 30—
The lower range of values established
on the opening were without doubt re
sponsible solely to the labor difficulties
that have developed on the B. K. T. and
the prospect of another coal strike, but
the declines were Established on a very
moderate volume of business and follow
ing the early transactions there was a
rather prolonged period of extreme dull
ness and as is frequently the case un
der similar circumstances, a moderate
rally followed.
The improvement was most noticeable
in the railroad shares and In this de
partment buyers do not appear to be con
cerned with momentary trade conditions
or the state of the money market.
It is quite evident that these shares
are being accumulated for ultimate re
sults.
Money conditions were again unfavor
able today. The renewal rate was 8 per
cent rnd later in the' day was further
advanced.
Aside from the money stringency the
unsettling element is the uncertainty
about business, but this is so closely in
terwoven with banking conditions that
the consideration of one involves the
other.
These very conditions, however, will
create the foundation for the next period
of activity, as these conditions' involv
ing reduced output and reduced distri
bution, will ultimately result in limited
supplies.

The opening of the week’s market to
day saw hog prices steady to 25 cents
lower with the close of last week's mar
ket on Saturday.
Light, common and medium hogs were
generally 25 cents lower, while good
heavy hogs were steady with a good de
mand and but a fairly good supply.
As oil the Friday and Saturduy mar
kets of last week, local packers gave no
schedule that was conformed with by
shippers and other buyers and scales
covered a wide price range with buying
and selling taking place in the pens.
The top for the duv was $16.25. with
the bulk of sales at $15.75@16. Mixed
heavies brought $15fe15.75, while best
heavies brought [email protected]. Good
mixed light hogs brought $15.50fe15.85.
and best lights, $15.85fe 16.25.
Roughs were steady at sl4 and down,
while best light pigs under 140 were off
fullv 25 cents at $15.25 and down.
Buying was fairly general, with most
of the local packers taking part and
eastern shippers buying the usual num
ber for the opening day of the week's
fp g r ket.
Receipts for the day approximated
8.000, with 1,100 left over from last week's
market, leaving approximately 6,900 fresh
hogs on the market.
The receipts were considered fairly
heavy for the opening of the week's mar
ket, and it was the general opinion that
the close of the market would see a good
clea ranee.
Cattle receipts were heavy for the
opening market at approximately 1,200,
and with a fairly active market, prices
were steady with last Friday’s market.
If anything there were more good cat
tle on the market than has been the us
ual run for the past three weeks, and
commission men say that they are in
hopes that the flood of common and me
dium will be followed by a similar flood
of good cattle, which would add much
to the tone of the cattle market, not only
in Indianapolis but in outside cattle mar
kets as well.
With an oversupply of good calves on
the market, regardless of the fairly good
demand, prices on the calf market fell
$1(01.50 after opening firm.
The extreme top closed at $lB, $1 lower
than the Saturday market, while the top
was $17.50 Most of the good choice veals
brought $16.50® 17.50, good veals brought
$15.50(016.50; mediums, sll@l3, and heav
ies. $9(011.
Receipts for the day approximated 800.
With s<X> oeep and lambs on the mar
ket, prices held generally steady, with top
lambs at $12.50 and top sheep at $6.50.

On Commission Row
General trading on the wholesale pro- :
dure market opened with a firmer tone
today, due, perhaps more than any other
thing, to the demand created over the;
week end and to the ever diminishing i
supply of vegetables from the home gar j
dens
There was but little rally, however. :
in prl -es except In the cases of pota- j
toes, cantaloupes and pe*rhe.
Potatoes were 50 cents higher at $5.75
a 'barrel, while peaches sold some higher '
at $3.75 04.
Cantaloupes and tomatoes were selling 1
10 to 25 cents higher, while King -an
taloupes came on the market at $3 250
3.75 a crate.
California seedless grapes were steady,
despite the small supply and fairly good
demand, while California Malaga grape*
In 25-pound crates were selling at S3O
3.25.
Wholesale men said that the people had
Just as well expect a raise in the prices
of California fruits when the Increase In i

WHEAT PRICES
SLIGHTLY OFF
Corn and Oats Futures Down
—Provisions Firm.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—With a small
trade, wheat started % cent loveer for
December and % off for March.
Corn was unchanged to % lower for
September; %@%c off for December, and
%@%c lower for May.
Trade was light.
September oats were unchanged to %
cent lower, and unchanged to % higher
for December.
Trade was dull, awaiting developments.
Encouraged by the advance in bogs,
provisions opened firm.
Buying was scattered.
(By Thomson A McKinnon)
—Ailg. 30—
Wheat—An almost complete slowing
down of export demand, together with
Reappearance of some hedging sales kept
wheat prices easy. It is quite generally
claimed that offerings from the country
are cortfiderably less than an average.
It is a fact that the primary movement
isv materially smaller than a ye+r ago.
Taking into account the position of sup
plies and the reluctant selling of the
producer, together with the premiums
of some twenty cents for current re
ceipts, it would seem as though the de
ferred deliveries were unduly suppressed.
Corn—Byond a little too much rain in
portions of the corn belt, conditions are
quite favorable. This situation, together
with a weak ensh market, has Increased
bearish sentiment. There has been a lit
tle sea/tered liquidation of September
holdings but no important selling of the
new crop months. The market suffers
as much from an absence of new demand
as from any heavy pressure. The temper
of the trade is such that cash market
must be strengthened or unfavorable
crop news be received if the market is
to show any pronounced strength.
Oats—Seaboard houses were buyers of
December oats early, but thereafter mar
ker ruled very dull, declining in sym
pathy with corn, being influenced also
by a goodly increase in the visible sup
ply. Southern demand is said to be
good, but eastern demand is very slow.
Provisions —Strength in hogs was an
Influence in products early but a gen
eral lack of interest and the heavy tone
in grains more than offset the advance
In hogs An improved cash .trade is ex
pected in the future, but this market,
like the grains, needs a rather well de
fined motive if prices are to be ad
vanced.

SILK DRESSES |
For Small Women and Misses
Nearly One Thousand of Them at Two Feature Prices
If you wear a Email size dress, now is the time
to get two or more new silk dresses for fall at the
price of one. In most cases the price attached to
these dresses would hardly buy the material—
they have sold formerly at very much higher ~
But quick clearance is one of our institutional ji
policies, and in accordance with that idea, these
dresses must go. repardless of the price lowering
necessary to remove them.
