S. Says. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.—Charges of alleged extensive profiteering in potatoes have been brought to the attention of the- government, It was learned today, and are being Investigated. Fortunes, probably, are being made out of the erstwhile humble “Bpud,” according to Information already in possession of the investigators. Consumers In many parts of the country now are being forced to pay at the rate of $3.20 per bushel for potatoes sold over the counter of retail grocers, It was learned. Farmers who grow the potatoes receive slightly more thrn $1.57 per bushel, which was the price paid them In November, according to reports to the agriculture department Middlemen, wholesalers and retail dealers get lhe balance of the consumers’ $3.20. Retailers say the high price is due to a nation-wide shortage erf potatoes. Stocks of potatoes of the 1919 crop now on farms and in the hands of dealers total 128,181,000 bushels, according to the agricultural department.

There were nearly ±4,000 hogs on sale, and so far as most of the different averages were concerned, prices were 35c lower than they were the day before. One' load of swine especially adapted for making high'class breakfast bacon 'sold at the top price, $16.15. but there were only a few-other closely assorted light hogs sold as high as sl6 and the bulk of the hogs averaging less than 225 pounds brought $15.90. A little heavier grade of hogs sold largely at $15.80, and hogs weigliiDg on up to 30t pounds brought $15.65. The biggest porkers were listed as low as $15.40. Prices of pigs from sls down were a little lower, as were also the sales of sows from sl4 down, with few higher than $13.75. There was a good clear, nuce. Cattle. In the recepts of 1,600 cattle most of the offerings suitable for the various grades of dressed beef sold 25@50c lower, but It did not appear that there was ?iuch change In prices for the cows lower han $7 nor on the steers, heifers’ or cows qualified to sell near the top prices of their class. There were more good cattle here than usual and a larger list of actual sales around top prices will not indicate the decline in prices that there really was. There was a continued good demand for bulls at steady prices. Calves were fully steady at the recent record level In prices. There was a pinnacle sale at $24, but the top price was practically $23. The demand for feeding cattle was not as good as expected, but prices were steady. Sheep. There was a slight increase in the receipts of 400 sheep and lambs, but the run was not large enough to stimulate competition and there was no apparent, change in prices. Lambs sold usually from sl9 to S2O and the heavy ewes from $lO down.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1920.

There are substantial reasons back of the allies’ decision to deal with the Russian co-operative; and not the least of these can be said in one word — flax. Just before the war. Russia was exporting $1,500,000,000 worth of raw material annually, chiefly flax, wood-pulp, grain, hemp, fur. Most of it went to western Europe, particularly to England, Belgium and France. At the same time she was importing only $500,000,000 worth of ifianufactured goods—machinery, hardware, rubber goods, drugs, etc., thus leaving a balance of trade against her neighbors of $1,000,000,000.

LINEN OPENS TRADE DOOR TO RUSSIA

Since 1914 Russia Las been able to import almost nothing, except ammunition and to export very little; since 1917, indeed, she has been able to import nothing at all and to export only epoonefuis. Take the case of flax: Before the war, Russia produced 80 per cent of the world’s total export. She provided Great Britain with 50 per cent, Belgium with 60 per cent and France with 70 per cent of the flax required for the linen industries of these countries. England and Belgium between them, indeed, used 53 per cent of Russia’s entire output. With the exception of one shipment of

LATIN AMERICA EXPORTS GAIN Figures Double in 1919 to Those in 1913. NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—A report published by the National City bank today says that the foreign commerce of our Latin-Americun neighbors aggregated nearly or quite $5,000,()00.<K)0 in 1919. against slightly les.~> than $3,000,000,000 in 1913. Their aggregate population i' near®* 100.000.000, and the area of tli Latin American countries is 8,287,000 square miles. Latin-American trade during and since the war period has shown greater flur.tuatlons than that of most other parts of the neutral world. Prior to the war the chief exports of the twenty countries so were coffee, cocoa, fruits, India rubber, tin ,copper, nitrates, wheat, meats, wool and sugar. WAR CUT OFF EUROPEAN MARKETS. The war cut off much of the European markets for the coffee, cocoa, fruits, rubber and tin, while on the other hand it increased European as well as American demands for lhe other products—meats, wool, sugar, copper and nitrates. Asa consequence the grand total of exports of Latln-Amcrtca made but verv slow growth during the first half of the war period, and the imports during that period actually declined. The total exports of the twenty countries classed as Latin-America were In 1913 $1,503,000,000: in 1914, $1,052,000,000; ln 1915. $1671000,000, and in 1917, sl,838,000,000. Then in 1018, when the nidi ity of Argentina Uruguay, Southern Brazil and Chile to supply meats, wool and nitrates became fully recognized the exports jumped to $2,378,000,000, and In the year of peace—l9l9—the continued demand for meats and wool, coupled with I lie great advance In prices of coffee and sugar and coco*, brought the grand to tal of Latin-American exports up to nearly or quite $3,000,000,000, as against $1,500,000,000 in the year preceding the war. EXPORTS AFTER WAR. ALMOST DOUBLE IN' VOLUME. Thu*, says the bank's statement, tlie export* of Latin-America in the first vear following the war 1919 are about double. in stated value, those of the year immediately preceding tho war, 1913*, or In other words, will apparently aggregate about $3.00p,000,000 in tho calendar vear 1919, against $1,500,000,000 In the calendar year 19X3.

WEATHER CONDITIONS, 7 A. M. The northwestern field of high pressure Is Continuing its movement southeastward, and is attended by lower temperatures over the middle Mississippi and Ohio valleys and lakes region. There has been a marked change to warmer weather over the Dakotas and the far northwest, however, due to the approach of a depression now centered over Alberta. The temperatures this morning are 30 degrees or more higher than those of Tuesday morning over that region, while at Calgary and Medicine Hat remarkable rises of 64 and 74 degrees, respectively, are reported. Precipitation lias occurred in the Atlantic and extreme north Pacific regions, but in other sections of the country the weather has been fair generally. J. 11. ARMINGTON, Meteorologist. Today’s Market Gossip Stock letter by wire from New York says: “The steel statement' is called •better than expected though the earnings were smaller than In preceding quarters. Yesterday we had new lows In foreigir exchange and a high money rate and, because of the stock market advances, some will probably reach the conclusion that what the stock market doea Is more important and that ordinary factors may be ignored. This may prove to be a costly error. It looks to me as though we have seen the maximum In the volume of business both domestic and export and this should be reflected In an easier stock market.” Grain letter by wire from Chicago says: “Our early morning advices are that dollars In London are $3.54, which means anew low for sterling. It seems Inevitable that the foreign financial situation must ultimately be of paramount Importance In determining values of United States surplus products. Corn will resist as long as cash premiums remain, but there Is %n abundance of corn still In the country. Extreme dullness is probably the forerunner of a complete change of heart on the part Os owners and buyers.” Detroit dispatch says the Fisher Body Company has purchased the Saginaw Plate Glass Company, which will be combined with the Columbia Plate Glass Company of Blairsville, Pa., and the Federal Plate Glass Company of Ottawa, 111., under name of National Plate Glass Company. Dow Jones Financial News agency re- j ports that Stutz Motor Company net j profits last year expected to approximate I $1,000,000, or $lO share after all charges.

18,000 tons through Archangel, in* October, 191S, the whole of the 1917, 191 Sand 1919 crops are piled high over all Russia. And as a consequence the linen Industries of Europe face annihilation; for —and here is the crux of the matter — the Russian peasants, tired of growing flax they can not sell, have flat-footedly announced they will plant no more! The International Co-operative Chamber .f Comnferce recently formed in London to promote organic union between the world’s great co-operative organizations has revived-the linen industry.

CORN AND OATS SHOWDECLINE Lower Cash Market Inuences Price of Futures. CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Lower prices prevailed on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Futures were influenced by the weak demand for cash grain, which was from l@2c'lower. Lack of buying by export and eastern buyers, because of the embargo on grain east of Buffalo, was also a factor in the slump. Buyers are still complaining 01. the car shortage. A lower hog market and'light receipts aided the bears. The market was dull. Provisions were lower on the weaker hog market. January corn opened unchanged at. $1.45, but later lost %c. May corn was down %c at the opening at $135% and remained unchanged. July corn, uuheanged at the opening, $J.32%, lost %c thereafter. May oats opened unchanged at 83c and remained at that level.
