Will Decide About Centers. Because of rivalry among grocers as to who shall distribute the sugar in each ward, distribution centers will be chosen at a meeting of grocers at the Chamber of Commerce building, Tuesday right. M. F. Horn, secretary of the Indianapolis Retail Grocers’ Association, announced the meeting and* Its puYpose today. He said the decisions will be made by taking a vote of the grocers of each ward. He urges all members of the association to be present. If & committee arbitrarily picked out grocers to distribute the sugar, he said there might be dissatisfaction. ,

Situation Looks Better. Three carloads of sugar came to Indianapolis Jobbers today. The situation promises to be much improved by the middle of next week. There is slow-ness in getting the cars set because switch engines are out of order, it is said, as a result of the shopmen's strike a few days ago. Mr. Wyckoff said some of the bakers are out of sugar, and he is directing that those who have a supply lend to those who have not. B, E. Hess, of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, called on Mr, \ Wyckoff to learn the methods being ! used by the Marion county fair price committee. He said the Cincinnati i committee found great difficulties in announcing fair prices. The Marion county svstem was explained to him and he told Mr. Wyckoff that Cincinnati would probably adopt the system.

The rallies reported in sterling exchange probably liwreaaed the dlapoaltlon to covet on recent sales on the bullish private crop report*. Toward the end of the week a more favorable view of the la tor situation also seamed to prevail, but local brokers reported no Improvement of consequence In the demand from trade sources, and the proximity of the holidays restricted fresh ■peculation buying for long account. No fewer than ten private reports based on replies from southern correspondents regarding crop condition were published during the week. The condition figures ranged from 58.2 to 64.2, and the accompanying crop Indications from about ll.p»),000 to U,500,000 bale*, compared with U*t month’s government report, making the condition 87.1 and the Indicated crop 11,016,040 bale*. A canvass of Cotton Exchange member* Indicated that a government report of 61 to 62 was expected on the average, with a probable slight Increase in the yield figures as compared with last

month.

ficsttered southern selling ha* been reported her# on advance*, but It has not been In large volume, and aside from realising, the pressure has been attributed largely to Liverpool Some of the Liverpool Interests are mid to expect renewed weakness In sterling exchange and consequent wider differences between the English and American market.

GRAIN SHIPMENTS STOPPED

Movement to Porta Suspended Because of Crowded Conditions.

NEW YORK, August 30.-Grain ship-

ments to Atlantic and gulf porta have

due to

been temporarily suspended aue to a shortage of vessel tonnage And a resultant overcrowding of storage facilities, officials of the United States Grain Cor

poration announced.

The suspension was described as an ordinary control movement, meaningless so far as foreign shipments are concerned. It was said that no embargo hail been placed or was contemplated on

grain exports.

The railroad administration, it was explained, keeps an accurate check on terminal facilities and calls for a suspension whenever a shortage of tonnage or elevator space threatens to tie up

its rolling stock.

The patented “Pistol Grip and Trigger Switch” makes these drills a pleasure to use, at the same time in> ( creasing the efficiency of the opera- i tor and preventing drill bit break- 1 ages due to drill sagging on bit. When the drill bit breaks through the work the mechanic naturally tightens his grip and in doing so instinctively pulls the trigger, stopping the drill.
