PAGE TWELVE THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND.. FRIDAY, AUG. 18, 1922. Mar ke ts GRAIN PRICES (McrTcrts t7 E. F. Lalaci & Ccmnany, 212 Union National Ban 2lMin) CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Wheat Wheat was on the downgrade practically all day due to the partial breaking up of the heat wave and reports of scat tered rains, which Increased as the day moved on. Exporters did not seem at all anxious for wheat, as they reduced their bids to 10 cents over September, the lowest bid since the wheat crop began to move. Every little-rally today met with sales and some stop loss orders were uncovered on the way down. Cash wheat was unchanged to one cent lower, and Liv erpool closed at considerable decline from yesterday. There was some be lief on the floor that the rail strike would be settled over Sunday. Argen tine new wheat acreage estimated to show 12 per cent increase. Believe wheat is working to lower levels. . Corn Corn was weaker relatively today than wheat, with September leading the decline, being off about three cents from yesterday's close. Rains were reported from various parts of the belt and the heat wave is lessening in the principal corn states.. Country offerings of corn to arrive were fairly large early, but sellers withdrew when the market broke. The prospective rail strike settlement was also somewhat of a depressing influ ence. Cash market unchanged to three-quarters lower. Look for liberal selling of corn on rallies. Oats Oats was dull and easy with other grains, with the close weak. Cash market about steady to one-half lower. Action of other grains will be factor in oats. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F. Leland & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Aug. 18.

State Farm Bureau Letter We are In receipt of a letter from the Indiana state farm bureau, telling of the action of the directors with re- the Farmer Sanborn in mis settlement, but also the farm ers and general public. With this in view the farmers are asking the Gov ernor to invite the operators and min ers to meet with representatives of the basic industries and the general public for the purpose of arriving at an agreement under which worlc will be resumed. The following is the text of the request submitted to the Gov ernor: "The present coal and r'-oad strikes are causing great loss i ag riculture in Indiana, due to interfer ence and suspension of transportation and to the closing of . factories for lack of fuel, thus preventing the mark eting of farm products, resulting in the loss to many farmers of the en tire year's income without any fault of their own. "We deny the right of any man or combination of men to so conduct themselves as to cause such losses without first consulting those so vi tally affected. "In view of these facts, we respect fully ask you as Governor of Indiana to cal1 a conference of carefully chos- en representatives of .the .general pubiic and of the basic industries of the state into session at the earliest possible time and that the parties to the present coal and railroad strikes be invited to submit their differences to such conference board for its con sideration and for its recommenda tions as to an. adjustment that would in its judgment be fair and equitable to all parties concerned."
