—Feb. 19—
There was further weakness in the
market today, particularly in the few
Issues that have been subjected to con
siderable pre-sure recently, but It was
noticeable during the trading that some
of the early sellers were buying \Joday, 1
which may merely indicate a disposition
on the part of shorts to cover their com
mitment without In any way affecting the
merit of the situation.
There seems to be anew wave of pes
simism aroused by the poor corporate
etatements that have recently been pub
lished. which has cast doubt upon the
permanency of the present dividend pol
icy of a number of corporations, and
this suggests the thought, are we to have
two bear markets on the same proposi
tion ?
Last year, when it became apparent
that business was bad and that corporate
showings would be poor, liquidation was
on an enormous scale and we were Justi
fied in assuming that the market was
then discounting everything unfavorable.
Now, as the results of last year are
published there is certainly no need for |
another period of liquidation, since it j
presents nothing new and merely con- i
firms thnt which we anticipated and
acted upon.

—Feb. 19-
Wheat —Lower temperatures and snow
In the Southwest gave the early wheat
market an easy tone on the belief that
green bugs would be held lu check. A
better tone was given the market later
by export business to the extent of 4
to 500,000 bushel. It is not known
whether this business is against previous
sales abroad or whether it is in antlcipa
tion of the expected sale to Greece on
Monday next. Premiums for soft winter
wheat were sharply lower, but this can not
be construed as a legitimate reason for ex
pecting the entire market to decline as
this grade of wheat is still selilug at
some 24c over the March, which In turn
is 10c over May. We do not expect any
radical action in the market, but feel
that there has already been sufficient
wheat exported to make the market very
sensitive to any new business rrom
abroad. North American wheat has been
found of excellent quality and will there
fore be In demand by Europe to some
extent at least.
Coarse Grains Considerable export
business In corn has again been done. The
volume of this is sufficient to keep the
undertone of the market firm despite the
prevailing belief in lower prices. We con
sider the market action demonstrated
that the size of the crop and the amount
in the visible supply have had due con
sideration and that it is now time to rec
ognize that the farm feeding worth Is
considerably above commercial prices.
Provisions—Pork products are inclined
to follow the hog market particularly so
when hogs are lower. There is some evi
dence that a goodly portion of the ware
house accumulations are in the hands of
larger cash handlers.

The appearance in recital of the cele
brated pianist, Rudolph Ganz, Sunday

Murgt, is causing much interest in local
musical circles. No pianist of fame has
a larger following in Indianapolis than
fas Mr. Ganz. Hlg playing is unaffected,
although spontaneous. His contrasts are
strong and ho Imparts vivid coloring.

I PLACES WATCH
ON PROPAGANDA
Legion Warns of Revival of
Hun Propaganda.
Information ha 4 come to the attention
of national headquarters of the American
Legion indicating a move for a Nation
wide revival of German, propaganda ac
tlvities, according to a legion bulletin.
The object of the movement, it Ib said,
seems to be:
1. Disruption of the accord which ex
ists between the United States and the
allies, particularly France and Great
Britain.
2. Methodical creation of a powerful na
tional political machine by the amalga
mation of disloyal elements and their ele
vation to a place of power in American
i affairs by the invisible Influence of this
organized minority.
The bulletin says:
“One of the first national manifesta
tions of this activity will probably take
the form of a series of mass meetings
throughout the country, ostensibly in
protest against the occupation of the
Rhine by French negro troops from

SENDS LETTER
ON COURTHOUSE
Chamber /Secretary Notifies
Members of Sale Approval.
A letter was sent today by John B.
Reynolds, general secretary of the Indi
anapolis Chamber of Commerce, notifying
the membership of the action of the
board of directors at the meeting Thurs
day indorsing the proposed sale of the
present Marlon County courthouse site.
In his letter Mr. Reynolds said:
It was felt by the board of directors
that the present courthouse is woefully
inadequate in many ways. The safety of
important records Is not assured. The
accommodations for office space are not
adequate. It Is believed that an.up-to
date office building in which can be
housed all of the county offices will be a
sensible and proper remedy for the pres
ent unsatisfactory condition.
The downtown retail district of Indi
anapolis is very badly congested on ac
count of the restrictions placed on it by
the Statehouse on one side, the courthouse
on another aud the Monument. This dis
position of the courthouse property, al
lowing it to be built up on tbe Washing
ton street side, would, in large measure,
remedy this congested condition and al
low the downtown retail district to ex
pand in a normal and natural manner.
These facts are presented to you simply
to indicate the attitude of the board of
directors cf this organization and will,
1 feel sure, be of some interest to you.

reason of age, infirmity or other misfor
tune have claims upon the sympathy and
