-Sept. 28—
That we are in the midst of a general
price-cutting movement becomes more
evident daily, as new announcements ar*.
made by various corporations.
Today some additional motor companies
have been added to the list and there can
be little doubt but that there will be no
change In this respect until this move
ment has run '.ts course.
The only trouble at the present time is
that there are very important lines that
have so far given no Indication of their
policy on this point, notably tho steel
Industry.
It Is essential that price revision should
take place in order that cost of produc
tion of manufactured products shall be
kept within limits that will permit rea
sonable profits and in the midt of such
a situation, it hardly seems likely that
investors will become very enthusiastic
about acquiring larger holdings of Indus
trial stocks.
It therefore seems more likely that we
will for the immediate future experience
lust such irregularity aa we have had
lately, though short covering will give us
substantial rallies now and then.

Hog prices held about steady on the
local stock market today, with per
haps a few more hogs bringing $1 < than
on the market of the day before.
Early to the trading there were many
shipping orders and the local packers
were taking an active part, but the or
ders did not hold out and toward tho
close of the forenoon trading there was
a slump in trading and it was
that there would be approximately J.wo
hogs of the 0 000 receipts held over for
the Wednesday market, unless more ship
ping orders came in at the last, minute.
It was estimated that representatives
of Eastern shippers took about 4,000 or
the hogs on sale and the local buyers
about 3,000.
There was a top of $1i.35, which was
10 cents higher than the top on the
Monday market, but there were few
hogs that sold at that price.
The bulk of sales were about the same
as on the market of the day before.
Mixed and heavy hogs brought sl7.<m
and lights. sl7, and some commission
men predicted that lights probably
would be still lower within the next few
days, but It was generally thought that
the prices of good heavies would not
fall as much in proportion, if at all.
The clearance of the Monday market
approximated 860. which was much bet
ter than it was thought that it would be.
There was not much change in the
price schedule of the cattle market, al
though there was a stronger movement
on the part of buyers for good steers
and heifers, but the remainder of the
grades remained unaffected.
Trading, however, took on a better
tone and It was thought that there was
a movement on foot to dear the yards,
which might have the effect of bringing
higher prices unless there Is an unload
ing of western cattle on the market.
Receipts for the day approximated
500. with probably about that number
left over in the yards from the day be
fore. . ..
There was a atronger sentiment In the
calf market, especially for the choice
and good grades of calves.
The prices of good calves advanced
all of So cents and the teudency was
slightly upward on tiie common ami
medium grades, although heavies were
but steady If not slightly lower.
There was a ton of $lB and an ex
treme top of $lB 50, with Just a few
extra fancy choice at that, and the choice
calves brought sl7@lß, with the bulk at
$174417,56. „
Good calve* brought slo<9l< • mediums,

Trading In such produce as peaches,
cantaloupes and other semi tropical
rußs has taken on a dull tone now,
due In part to the fact that there are
but limited supplies of some of them—
for instance peaches—and due also to
the fact tbat with the coming <>t tb
cool wen‘her the people have turned
somewhat to the tn re vtapb* Hue of

market—the purple Concord. These

Each day seems to more and mors

—Sept. 28-
Wheat—Some selling of wheat by com
mission houses with eastern connections
was responsible for heaviness early, but
(be market seemed to run Into resting
buying orders ostensibly for foreign ac
count, or, ut least, exportable channels.
The trade was of liberal proportions,
although not so large us yesterday. Those
expecting lower prices look for Eng
land's demand to continue In Canadian
wheat posslbily uuttl Argentine crop Is
available. The placing of shipping to
be effective while navigation is open
still seems In evidence. Would suggest
that the cash wheat premiums over De
cember he watched closely for the trend
of prices.
Corn—After an initial strong opening,
and a subsequent soft spot, with liberal
receipts and the wheat weakness, corn
showed Itself to have a firm tone for
December and May partially Induced by
the holding strength In the September.
Wo might have some quick changes In
the December and May in the next two
days, while the Sptomber is closing;
but; from present indications, we are
Inclined to look for these deferred months
to react from depression at least uutll
the new basis for tho cash corn es
tablished, on the first oX the month.
Oats—This market has been neglected,
taking Its tone entirely from corn. It
seems as though It would be necessary
to show some new depressing Influence to
prevent the May from being a purchase
around the sixties level.
Provision*—This market sold off with
the sharply lower price for hogs toda.W
The selling was by commission houses
with packer connections. Interest will
center in the statement of stocks of pro
visions on the first of the month. Unless
these show falrlv good reductions, the
market i not likely to have any special
Improvement.

COAL MINE HEADS’
TESTIMONY ENDS
Hear Jobbers and Wholesalers
at Statehouse Tomorrow.
Lower coal prlceß for Indiana ecem
probable.
The State’s new coal commission cre
ated by the General Assembly to regu
late the industry, will whittle down the
prices, it was learned, unless the re
tailers and Jobbers present price data
to counteract that given the commission
by the mine operators, at the first hear
ing to gather information on produc
ing costs and price levels.
There will be a hearing today for
the Jobbers and wholesalers and cn
Oct. 1 the retailers will appear.
The commission is taking this means
to give the coal men an opportunity to
lay their cards cn the table.
WHOLESALERS MAY ASK
$3 PROFIT PER TON.
Asa result of these hearings, a State
wide scale of prices will be announced
within a few days, possibly by Monday.
An inkling of what the wholesalers may
demand was revealed when one infor
mally told the commission he thought
the wholesale dealers should have a mar
gin of $3 a ton.
“If we would jive the operators the
margin they wijnt and the other fellows
all the profit they nsk, the price of coal
would be higher than it is now,” Jesse
Ksi.hbech, chairman of the commission,
said.
in his remarks which closed the hear
ing, Chairman Eschbach said; “When
the commission makes this order It will
be fair.
“There is no desire on the part of
the commission to treat any one as a
criminal.
“I have noticed during the discussion
this afternoon that most of the objec
tions that have been raised were re
garding the Federal Government.
“With that we have nothing to do.
“My reputation for fair dealing in this
Rtnte guarantees you a fair price for
coal.
“It is my intention and the Inten
tion of those associated with me to fix
fair prices.
“Jf there is objection to the price fixed
we will be ready at all times to conduct
a hearing of complaints.
“This law was not passed to make
criminals of you.
"You will have our cooperation and
I hope that you will give us your hearty
cooperation.
“Give us a chance.”
PROTECTION ASKED
AGAINST DEPRECIATION.
James V. Filbert of Linton, repre
senting wagon mines in Greene County:
Robert J. Smith of the Deep Vein Coal
Company at Princeton and West Terre
Haute, and Ltriton Fourth Vein mines
and Frank S. Rawiey of Terre Haute,
representing the Wagon Mine Operators'
Association of Indiana, were heard.
The Item of depletion was brought be
fore the commission by Mr. Smith, who
stated that as the coal was mined the
property became less valuable.
He declared that operators should b
allowed a price which would provide for
the sinking f new shafts.
His attitude toward the commission
law was hostile.
He blamed the press for the attitude
of lahor, explaining that the workers be
lieved the operators were making $2 out
of each dollar they paid out for labor.
Mr. Filbert stated that the wagon
mine* proved a source of relief for trans
portation, and that a car shortage could
be considerably relieved by the wagon
mine operator*.
Mr. Filbert e.t*o told of an instance
where a buyer volunteered $8 a ton for
coal, when he could have purchased It
at a much less price bad be asked for It.
He declared that the purchaser was
badly In need of coal and was glad t
get It st any price.

COTTON LETTER.
NEW YORK, Kept. 28.—Fluctuations In
the cotton market today were violent and
erratic.
It became evident from the very open
ing of the session that the market became
over-sold during the present drastic de
cline.
When shorts attempted to cover com
mitments it was as difficult to buy cotton
as it. was recently to sell.
It seems to us that during the heavy
selling of the last few days the meritor
ious points have been entirely ignored.
It is true that trade conditions are
unsatisfactory, but it is also true that iv;
have another moderate-sized crop.
If there had been no war and no in
flation a series of small crops such as we
have had would have resulted in prevail
ing prices for cotton. With the late
months near the 20-eont level and a big
discount, it seems to us that the invest
ment basis cannot be far distant.
