—Dec. 1—
In the midst of a trying period such
as we have been passing through, when
general confidence is lacking, ami the
business outlook uncertain, a mere sug
gestion of something unfavorable is suf
ficient to start anew wave of liquidation
such as we have experienced today in the
railroad list.
The railroad brotherhoods have always
been striving for greater power. Just ns
all labor unions have been doing. This,
however, does not mean that we are go- j
lng to upset the country further by a
great railroad strike.
Southern Pacific probably w a * an ex
ception to the remainder of the list, and
was sold because of disappointment on
the part of stockholders who evidently
were not pleased with the rumored plans
of the segregation of the oil property.

There was a good active tone to trad
ing In hogs on the local live stock ex
change at the opening today, due to a
good demand by Eastern shippers. Some
of the local packers participated in the
trading, but Kingan A Cos. were not In
the early forenoon trade and representa
tives stated that they would buy but few
hogs today.
Prices were steady to 10 cents higher,
with a top of $10.85 on a few lots of good
heavy hogs, anil the bulk of the good
heavy hogs selling at $10.50^10.65.
Lights were generally steady, but a
few brought $10.60. while mixed hogs
generally brought $lO.5O8j!lO.00.

few were sold at $9.75.
Pigs sold at $10.50<3!10.75.
The bulk of sales ran close to $10.30<3
10.60.
There were rumors that some buyers
stayed out of the early market believing
that there would be a lower tendency
due probably to 3,000 bogs that would
arrive on the market later, but others
thought that this would not materialize,
due to the good demand shown by East
ern shippers. Receipts approximated 10,-
000 early in the forenoon, and It was
thought that receipts for the day would
"totnl between 13,000 and 14.000.
There was no material change in the
tone of tradlug on the cattle market than
that which prevailed Tuesday. Buyers
were taking some cattle, but they were
not urgent in their demand, and prices
were practically steady.
Receipts for the day approximated <OO.
There was a fairly active tone to the
trade in calves, with receipts rather
light, at between 300 and 400, and prices
about steady. . . ...
However, commission men stated that
there were fewer calves brought the top
of the market today than there were on
the Tuesday maiket.
There was another light run of aheep.
between 300 and 400. but there was no
material change in prices, except that

tendency at <3'34, with more sheep sell
ing at $4 than on the Tuesday market

Grant County Farmer
Wins Stock Honors
Special to The Times.
MARION, Ind., Dec. I—J, M. Ballard,
well-known stock raiser of this county,
won grand championship honors at the
International Live Stock Exposition at
Chicago, when he carried away one of
the six big prizes with his exhibit of a
carlonil of fat Hamshlre hogs.
Mr. Ballard’s hogs, which the judges
picked as the best of the show, were
spring pigs, but because of their 275
pounds weight had to be entered in the
heavy Instead of the light class.

Country Bank Failures Have
Influence on Market.
CHICAGO, Dec. I.—Fractional, Irreg
ular changes marked the trading In grain
futures on the Board of Trade today.
Reports of additional country bank
failures had a depressing influence, al
though commission houses bought mod
ersTVdy.
Provisions were higher.
December wheat opened off %c nt $1.56,
and regained %c later. May wheat, after
opening up lc nt $1.51%. lost l%c.
December corn was off %c at tHe open
ing, 05%c, but subsequently regained %c.
May corn, after opening off %c at 72%e,
lost %c.
December oats was up %c at the open
ing at 44%c and held that figure In later
trading. May oat < opened unchanged at
48%e, but later lost %c.
(By Thomson A- McKinnon)
—Nov. 30-
Wheat—Bleeping financial conditions
were operative In the extensive decline
of all commodities to the extent that the
buying power was curtailed. Financial
conditions are now coming to the sur
face in the way of minor difficulties
with u few country banks. This exhibi
tion la responsible for belated selling.
We are very much of the opinion that
the so-called weakness in the financial
situation Is much exaggerated. Further
than this, we believe It has been fully
anticipated and discounted by the fie
dine In wheat and commodities. For
this reason, we believe that actual ship
ments of wheat from country to be of
considerable Importance. So far as can
be ascertained officially the export or
wheat nnd flour from July 1, last, to
November, the total export of wheat and
flour from July 1 to November 1 is 146.-
000,000 bushel. A eonseratlv* estimate of
November shipments Is 30.000,000. This
total shipment abroad of 175.009,000 leaves
a very small amount to cover export for
the next sevon months nnd provide a
carry-over. Cash wheat Is strong every
where, with premiums Increasing. In
fact. It 1* said that new export bust
ness Is hampered by scarcity of offer
ings. December contracts become de
livered tomorrow. There are only 242,-
000 bushels of contract wheat now in
Chicago and the spring wheat which Is
being brought down from northern mar
kets Is not grading sufficiently well to
meet requirements for delivery. Further
than this, It Is selling on track nt con
siderably better than the delivery dis
count There seems no weakness In the
underlying situation except a state of
mind on the part jf the investor.
Corn —The huge surplus of corn which
will be uvatluble at aome time during
the crop year Is uppermost In the minds
of the trade. Therefore, the market en
counters more or less selling when It
appears strong. There are 888.000 busi
ness of contract* grades In elevator here
and current receipts arc selling nt bet
ter than a delivery basts. There Is not
much likelihood of any extensive deliv
eries unless the movement from the
country Increases. The relative cheap
ness of this grain wtII bring It Into more
general use. not only for consumption,
but for Industrial purposes. Relieving
that the financial condition of this coun
try is aouiid, we fee! that nut only are
corn values sufficiently low but a bet
ter demand will appear In the course of
time
Oat*--Tbo*e in touch with the storks
of oats lu the country appear as sellers
whenever the market 1* strong. There
fore, ndvancea are modest The returns
to the producer ss Indicated by terminal
market prices nrc decidedly too small
t< warrant th Idea of any heavy move
ment from the country. Price* should
respond to strength to corn.
Provision* Short covert:.g In Novem
ber lard has been the feature In today's
provision market Now that this hs*
been completed a value may respond to
the slow trade In rash meat* and ex
pectation of lower priced hog*.

OWNERS OBJECT
TO OVERCHARGE
Works Board May Reimburse
Brookside Ave. Residents.
The board of public works today prom
ised a delegation of property owners re
siding in Brookside avenue between Ru
ral and Twentieth streets that it will
investigate claims of over-assessment
nnd, if the facts warrant, repay them out
of the erroneous assessment fund. More
than SI,OOO is involved, it is estimated.
The complaint of the. property owners
arises out of the fact that they were
assessed for changes in curbs and side
walks made when Brookside avenue, was
straightened, more than a year ago to
make the operation of city street ears
less hazardous. The. property owners
were charged for the work, but it wis
brought out today that the work should
have been done under resolutions adopt
ed more than four years ago in which
it was agreed the city would beer most
of the cost of making the changes
Curves in Brookside avenue west of Ru
ral street were corrected during the Bell
administration under these resolutions,
but the work east of Rural street was
not done until the Jewett administration
came in.
The board received bids as follows:
For a local sewer In Buckingham drive
from a point 25% feet east of Boulevard
place to a point 23% feet east of Cor
nelius avenue. Columbia Construction
Company, $0.29 per lineal foot.
For a local sewer in Belmont avenue
from the flr*t alley north of Michigan
street to Tenth street, Columbia Construc
tion Company, $0.78 per lineal foot, and
Sheehan Construction Company, $0.73.
Resolutions were confirmed as fol
lows :
For the permanent Improvement of
P.erkley road from Boulevard place to
Sunset avenue, and for sidewalks and
graded lawns in the same section; side
wulks and graded lawns in Boulevard
place from Fall Creek boulevard to a
point 11 feet north of Twenty-Fifth street
and for the permanent Improvement of
the first alley east of Ashland avenue
from Twenty-Fifth to Twenty-Seventh
streets.

IMPROVED ROADS

gardeners use this road in getting their
produce into the city.
The communication of the Farmers'
Federation bore the names of William J.
Fink, as president; Royal L. W. Mc-
Clain, secretary and treasurer, and C. O.
Sutton, J. E. Foltz, Ford Watson. Clar
ence Mills and Albert Neuby, directors.
Sometime ago, the county commission
ers announced that approximately
$1,500,000 would be spent next year in
building new improved roads and com
pleting work on contracts already
granted.
"Moat of these roads are county unit
roads and the city of Indianapolis pays
approximately 90 per cent of those im
provements,” said Mr. George. "We are
now considering lowering the road main
tenance fund from 5 per cent to 3 per cent
because of the money obtained under the
county unit plan.”
Mr. George is unable to see how the
members of the Farmers’ Federation can
suffer from the plan of the commission
ers to allow new contracts under the
county unit plan in 1920 and 1921. He
points out that contracts for improve
ments are allowed on petition of the
property owners and taxpayers.
Commissioners George and Carlin
Shank said they would consider the
communication of the Farmers’ Federa
tion as well ns the application of the
gardeners on the Bluff road. They have
indicated they do not favor changing
the road improvement plana for next
year.
