MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report Os Local And Foreign Market* Opening Grain Review Chicago, July 10—Grain sentiment was decidedly mixed at opening of business on the Chicago board of tiade today. Chief interest in wheat was divided between construction placed on yesterday's government report ami actual condition in the spring wheat area. The official document showed an increase in prospective yields over the June report. Tile government document was also the strong factor in corn.

CORN ACREAGE IS INCREASED Six Per Cent More Corn In Indiana This Year Than In 1924 A* increase of 6 g>cr cent in the acreage of corn in Indiana is estimated from the information furnished by the crop reports of the state. This simply gets the state back to the usual acreage of corn as last year's planting was short. 'I he condition at present is 10 points above average as corn was not large enough to actually suffer from drouth and the ground is in a high state of cultivation. About 18 per cent of the acreages in corn has ben replanted from various causes, but the higher percentages are found in the distiicts affected yb frost. The forecast of production is slightly larger than the best crop in the past six years. There are 59,300 acres of corn in Adams

county. The increase of more than a m 1lion Buaels in the forecast for winter wheat since June 1 seems rather surprising in view of the reports of fail ure to fill following the May frost which caused some damage in widespread districts. The southern part of the state lias a z no< l wheat crop, and the frost damage in the rest of the state is very spotted, and in the northern part of the state wheat stood the drouth better than expected. There were 6,000 acres of wheat in Adams county this year. Four per cent of the 1924 crop remains on farms, or 1.255.000 bushels. Oats Springs Surprise. The oats condition is another surprise. UP to the middle of June the crop was thought a practical failure, but is responded to the June showers surprisingly, and the reporters now give a condition which indicates a yield of 27.2 bushels per acre. As the acreage is much larger than last year the forecast is four-fifths of last year's production. There are 37,200

acres of oats in Adams county. Rye prospects declined over onehalf million bushels in June- Tkis is partly duo tn the drouth, which was intense the first half of June and was broken only at harvest. The gieatei part of the decline b attributed to the failure to f*ill resulting from the freeze in May, but the effects of which were nut fully realized on June 1. Potatoes were planted on about the -ante acreage as last year as they are largely grown for home use and the low prices made little difference io growers. The condition is rather low as drouth retarded recovery from the May freeze, and the earlier half of the planting is making a very poor set of tubers. The later portion of the crop promises well at present. A tendency to increase sweet potato acreage is noticeable, but the increase was leas than expected as the sotting season was dry and stands required some replanting. The clow start has kept the condition below ( average. When- tobacco beds were seeded a considerable increase in tobacco tiereage was expected. This was not realized as the setting season was too dry until June 13, and many plants lost in the period of waiting. With the late start a low condition at this time is to be expected. Hay Shows Decline Hay declined 17 points in June following a decline of 27 points in May. In parts of the upper Wabash drainage district there was practically no rainfall till hay was mature enough to harvest. The forecast is a million tons less than the smallest crop in

Garv. Ind, July 10.-(United Press) -On the soil of the terrible family tragedy of the Cunningham poisonling case grew a romance that ended in marriage.
