—Sept. 30—
News today was about in with
wliat we have been getting all week.
Price-cutting is still the order of the
dav. and while it will ultimately be
true of every line of business, the stock
market is more concerned with the more
important and so-called basic industries.
It is at such times as there that the
uncertainty that prevails will be greatly
aggravated from time to time by rumors
vpt in motion through some mysterious
manner and the circulation of them cal
culated to mislead the public.
When a readjustment is on it i* in
Itself sufficiently unsettling w'thout mat
ing it apoear worse through reports of
financial troubles of companies, prosper
jive receiverships, passing of dividends,
and the many other ways in which the
stability of a market can be undermined.
The weak position of the motor indus
try was emphasized today by the weak
ness of General Motors, the leaders of
this Industry.
The rails stand out in strong contrast,
and shows a surprising ability not on.t
to hold advances but to frequently es
tablish themselves at new liighs.
This is certainly logical, since all of
the railroad's trouble are today matters
of hisrorv and are now favored by law
with a price for its service that war
rants a higher level of prices than now
prevails.
l-’or tb? industrials we still anticipate
an Irregular market for the Immediate
futturc.

The slump in hog prices on the loea
market was resumed today when there
was a general decline of 50c to sl, due
to the lower tendency of the outsiu® hog
markets, the poor sentiment of the local
market, the slump in corn prices ” ue
to reports of bumper crops, and t**® Sf' 1 "
eral reaction of the public against the
high prices that have been prevalent for
the past two months.
For the first time In the past two
months, the prices of good hogs dropped
before the sl6, and there was a near
approach to the sl3 mark.
Commission men are generally or the
opinion that prices are going still lower
due to the near approach of the pack
ing season and under the influence of
the lower price of corn.
Good heavy hogs, which for the past
week have been higher than good light
hogs, brought $10.25. which was the top
of the market, while the bulk of
in that grade ran $15.75@16 .'25.
Good mixed hogs generally brought
$15.50® 15.75, while lights brought only
$15.25®15.50, with a few of the poorer
of that grade at sls.
Roughs declined to $14.00 and down,
while pigs slumped to $14.25, which is
approximately 25c lower than on the
market of the day before.
The bulk of the sales ran slo.so@lfl.
Receipts for the day approximated
8,000 fresh hogs, while there were 2,000
left over from the Wednesday market.
Indications were at the end of the
early trading that there would be but
little better clearance today if as good
as that of the market of Wednesday un
less there were more shipping orders u
before the close of the late market.
The tone of trading was somewha*
weaker than on the Wednesday marks,,
the Eastern shippers being ouly fairij
active, while the local packers took the
lead in trading.
Local packers took around 4,000 of the
hogs on the market, while early estimate,
were that shippers did not take mote
than 3.5U0 Orders from Eastern firms
were not plentiful.
The cattle market was featureless e-,
cept for a little better tone to trading
and cattle muted a Uttle swifter bet wee i.
the traders.
Prices were fairly steady, with perhaps
here and there an instance of a slightly
higher price for some odd lot that hap
pi ned to stray on to the market.
Good steers were firactically a nonentity
on the market, and there was only one
load that could even be called medium
and fair.
Receipts for the day approximated 500.
and all indications were that the re
ceipts of the day would be cleared.
The calf market was barely steady,
with light receipts and a corresponding
ly light demand. Good stuff, which was
not on the market in large numbers,
was wanted, but the common, medium
and heavy grades were little in demand.
Receipts approximated 400,
With around 800 sheep and lambs on
the market and Armour, the heaviest
buyer on the market usually, out of the
market, sheep prices were weak, while
lambs were fairly steady.
Sheep brought $3®5.30. and lambs
brought sl2 and down.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1920.
On Commission Row
A general decline of fulls $1 on potato
prices featured the opening of the whole
sale produce market today. The potato
crop is about harvested nnd with a
bumper crop and the market being fully
supplied, a decline seemed almost in
evitable, with no excuse on the part of
either the producers or the dealers for a
continuance of high prices.
In comparison with the prices of a
month ago, potatoes are in cases—accord
ing to the grade—as much as $2 lower,
but there is little, if any, change in the
prices ns served at the hotels, restaurants
and cases.
Michigan round whites were selling
this morning at around $3 and there were
no potatoes on the market bringing more
than $3.50.
Green beans are about the only home
grown product on the market that has
seen an increase in price. They are now
selling at $2.25@2.75 a bushel, due to the
scarcity of the supply and the fairly
good demand.
Tomatoes are holding firm around the
$1.50 mark, with only a limited supply
on the market.
It is only a matter of a short time now
until there will be a supply of fresh fall
nuts on the market.
Wholesale commission men have said
that homegrown walnuts and hickory
nuts will sell close to 7 and 8 cents, re
spectively.
The market is now well supplied with
fall varieties of apples, a supply that in
cludes some of the very best of apples
aud but very few poor grades.
Prices of apples have not yet been ef
fected by the general decline, perhaps
dne to the fact that increased freight
rates will not permit. The inadequate
supply of ears and the slow freight serv
ice also has a tendency to keep prices of
this commodity up. Apples are perish
able and a loss merely means an addi
tional cost on the remainder.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30. —Wheat futures

—Sept. 30-
Wheat—Pronounced weakness In corn
was largely responsible for wheat start
ing weak, but it developed weakening
features in Itself as the session ad
vanced. India was reported as releasing
some fifteen million bushels for export,
the first since the war; reports from the
southwest were to the effect that there
was more disposition to meet.the market
than for some little time. Canadian wheat
wub sold rather freely to come to the
United States. The northwest reports
were of a continued holding by spring
wheat furtners. Hedging sales were in
creased and the buying was small, with
exporters holding oft.
Corn—The heavy local bearish traders
who have been out of the market
lately elected to reinstate their short
lines of December and May corn today,
figuring that the deferred months would
resume their declining tendency after the
September trades were closed and the more
or less ficetltlous price for actual corn in
Chicago meeting correction tomorrow and
thereafter. The Government weekly
weather crop bulletin stating that the
bulk of the crop had passed the danger
line wag also h selling inspiration. The
selling was in large volume and suf
ficient to carry the market iuto new low
ground, which brought severe liquidation
by longs. The adjustment of cash prices
to the sit union in hand hardly justifies
so much eurly confidence in 90c corn.
Think better selling places are probable.
Oats—Market followed the decline in
corn.

PHYSICIANS MUST
TREAT MIND ILLS
Psychology Will Be Important
Study, Says Fordyce.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Psychology
will be an Important study for students
at tho College of Physicians and Sur
geons at Columbia University this year.
Those who began their course in the
medical school were told by Dr. J. A.
Fordyce, In his opening addres, that
physicians of the future must not only
be able to administer to bodily ills, but
mental ones also.
Speaking on “The Faculty ami the
Student,” Dr. Fordyce said In part:
“Bodily ills are often less dangerous
than the fancies aud bizarre theories of
minds distressed or diseased. The one
affects the Individual and the other may
imperil the integrity of the nation.
“By reason of his intimate and con
fidential relations with all classes in a
community, the physician may adminis
ter not only to disease of the body, but
often can direct his patients In matters
of public policy and antidote mistaken
social theories."
Dr. Fordyce stated that the medical
profession must follow the lead of the
business man in an effort to comprehend
ibe fundamental reasons for the present
social unrest "and help to direct the
public mind into normal Instead of path
ological channels."
Registration for the 167th academic
year of the medical school was the largest
in its history.

He is a brother of Daniel S. Ilarden

lie returns now very much improved
In health.
"Solitude is the greatest medicine n

"A man is never without company

to think about.
••I have enjoyed myself.
"I have learned much and now I nu

While at Princeton. ILrdrnburg was
a close friend of Joseph Tumulty.
He was an ardent student, aud, due
to constant study, bis health became
impaired.
It was then that he wagered with his
college chums that he would go away
from the noise and clamor of city life
for ten year*.
When young Hardenburg first took up
his abode on theisland he wna furnished
with a well stocked library, modern
farming Implements and several horsey.
The horses died and Hardenburg de

PREACHER SAYS
GIRLS ARE a KT
Maude Royden, Famous Au
thority, Gives Views.
By EARLE C. REEVES,
International News Service Staff Corre
spondent.
LONDON, Sept. 30.—The modern gill
Is strictly and most completely all right,
even If she does call her dad “old bean."
Miss Maude Royden, famous woman
preacher, knows them by unnumbered
thousands, and she says so.
The Rev. David Scotcher, a bold man
of courage, raised a question—and a
storm—when he accused the modern girl
cf sitting on the edge of the table, cross
ing her legs, smoking cigarets and ad
dressing her father as “some kind of
vegetable.”
The bold reverend, who was modern
enough to refer to the modern girl bra
zenly as a biped—she crossed her legs—
balked at mentioning the exact nature
of the “vegetable,” but he referred to
the maidenly habit of calling dad “old
bean.”
“Even if they do these things, why
shouldn’t they?” asks Miss Maude Roy
den.
“I have a very large proportion of
young girls in my congregation and l
have seen a lot of girls connected with
the student movement, and they Impress
me as an exceedingly fine set of people.
1 also met thousands of factory girls
during the war.
“They are full of new ideas, of coarse.
But I have always been struck by their
loyalty to their parents.
“It is anew world we are living In
and we certainly are up against great
problems.
“But surely It Is the duty of eldet
people to help the girls so far as they
tan Instead of unloading condemnation
on them all the time.
“Girls of all kinds are on so much
better terms with their parents than
they used to be. They treat them more
like friends,
“The young girl of today is not ex
pected to be the finished woman of tho
world her mother was at seventeen.
“She Is much less self-consclons. I
think the best way of Bumming up the
matter Is that although she may have
less ‘manner 1 she has more ‘manners.*"
Moose Interfere
With Auto Traffic
FREDERICTON, N. 8., Moose are so
thick In the New Brunswick woods this
! fall they are Impeding automobile traffic.
John Traynor, who with his wife trav
eled the highway that leads through the
I forest north of tte Canadian National
. Railways, reports he was stopped sev
eral times by moose and collided with
I one.
! “We were traveling after dark with
headlights going,” said Traynor.
“The brilliant shaft of light seemed to
intrigue the moose.
| “In a run of a few miles, four came
crashing out of the thickets beside the
road and plunged Into the light. T
"They turned squarely in the road and
stared In a dazed way at the headlights
and we had to stop and toot our horn
before they would give us the right of
way.
“One big antlered fellow leaped into
the road at such a short distance in front
of us that we bumped into him and
1 knocked him down.
“He scrambled to his feet and tore off
; through the woods.”
