Nothing of any consequence was received today and prices are unchanged. Dealers say they will merely have to sell what they have and trust to luck that shipments will get through before their supplies are exhausted. They scout the idea that prices wiil be any lower and that dealers will be forced to unload perishable stuff at a sacrifice. They say there^ is not enough perishable produce In town now to supply local demands. Prices have not been advanced any by the larger bouses and dealers emphatically declare that they will not take advantage of the present situation to boost quotations. TODAY’S PRICES.

Buyers and sellers could not come to any agreement as to the scale of prices and after dickering all morning salesmen locked up their hogs and took a vacation for the day. Embargo on shipments going into New York and Jersey City blocked orders waiting that would have cleaned the market at good prices. Leading local packer was not willing to pay over sl6 for the bulk of hogs and salesmen held them at sl7. The gulf between the two figures was to wide and aside from a few. that sold locally to smaller packers there was nothing doing in the nog market. Two loads of hogs sold at the opening et $17.25 and later on in the morning few more sold at $16.50 and $16.75. Roughs were not in demand, aside from scattered sales at $13(§15.25 or 25c lower than the day previous. Relief iu the railroad situation is imperative, salesmen say, if the market is to develop any activity. They claim there are plenty of outside orders to take care of all receipts, but inability to get them through to eastern points blocks outlet. Rumor was current late this morning that embargo on receipts in the truck division was to be placed In effect again. This could not be confirmed, although the concensus of opinion seemed to favor such action until the situation clears up. Officials at the stock yards later in the afternoon denied such action would be taken. Cattle. Receipts. 1,500; market steady. The cattle market is strictly an in-and-out eatrb-HS-.catch-can proposition at present. Local packers are in the market for their current needs and that is all. If the run en hand looks too small for the demands there is a scramble among buyers to get their Individual share. This results in a weird scale of prices that are hard to establish a definite market upon. _ Good heifers are selling at $12.50@14 and good cows at sllfiil2. Good heavy steers are in better demund and are higher, ou“ load weighing 1,300 pounds going at $1". The cull stuff or poorer grade cattle are not in such demand and prices are barely steady, if anything 25c lowerUntil the railroad problem is adjusted the market will be a spotted affair, salesmen and buyers agree. Calves. Receipts, 450; market opened strong; closed weak and about steady with close of Thursday. The calf market started off strong, buvers paying a top of S2O for chojce reals and sl9fel9 50 for the strictly good kind. Some of this activity was incented by outside orders, but when it was found that difficulty was to be experienced in getting calves loaded east, order buyers withdrew and the market broke sharply. Good calves closed at around sl7 and the medium at sl£'<Jl3 or steady with the close of the day previous. Sheep.

COTTON STARTS AT HIGH LEVEL Larger Trade Than in Months and Prices Respond. NEW YORK, April 16.—There was a larger general trade in the cotton market at the opening today than for many weeks. Firs* prices were 7 to 23 points higher, with new high records In May and other months. The market continued active and strong throughout the first quarter of an hour, showing net gains of about 47 points. Cotton opening: May, 42c; July, 39.52 c; September, 37.10 c; October. 36c; December. 34.85 c; January, 35.86 c; March, 32.93 e. Spot cotton was steady today, %o higher at 43%c. LATE FINANCIAL NEWS NEW YORK, April 16— The Evening Sun financial review today said: “Confronted again today by high money rates, the stock market nevertheless held the ground gained earlier in the week surprisingly well. "Call loans renewed at 10 per cent this morning as against 8 per cent yesterday. By midday the rate had jumped to 12 per cent, but the chief effect of the marking up of rates was to restrict the volume of business. "Traders sold stocks on the high renewal rate but were not very successful in shaking down prices. “In the last half hour the money rate dropped to S per cent, causing an active buying movement by the shorts. -The whole list shot forward under the leadership of the steels. Many of the best prices of the day were touched iu the late buying movement at which time trading was very active.”

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1920.
GRAINS REACH RECORD HIGHS Reports That Seeding Delayed by Bad Weather. CHICAGO, April 16.—A1l grain futures with the exception of May corn reached new high figures on the crop on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Reports from all sections of the grain belt indicated that seeding is seriously delayed by bad weather and that grain iu the ground now is rotting. May corn up %c opening, later gained corn up %c on opening at $1.64%, gained l%c later. September corn up %c on opening at $1.58%, advanced l%c. May oats up %c on opening at 9ic, rose %c. September oats up %c on opening at BS%c, gained %c later. Provisions were nominal. Local traders who had been bearish all day, but who remember their frequent defeats of late, took heart at the British offer to resell oats and in the final hour of today’s session on the Board of Trade wiped out earlier gains that had sent all grain futures, except May corn, to new £igh levels on the crop. Corn closed slightly above last night’s finish. Oats were irregular. Pork and lard closed higher and ribs 7%@10c under the previous close. CHICAGO GRAIN. —April 16CORN—Open. High. Low. Milos*.
