Early grain letter by wire from Chicago says that markets have tjeen subjected to the test of small receipt* for some time acl have made the proper response. It now seems well to anticipate the effpets of a poor demand also more favorable weather. There certainly no shipping demand for corn at the present time and the else of such demand as may or may not appear in the is an open question. It seems the correct thing to he prepared for convene developments. Early stock letter by wire from New York says: “We quote stocks in dollars end cents just the same as we quote food, clothing, steel and iron. The trouble iR that dollars and cents do not mean much there days. Commodities arc still advancing In price. How far could a corporation proceed with the replacement of plants, machinery or inventory bn sen on the present capitalization. It seems to me that where there was water a few years ago, the capitalization today would hgrdly cover the cost. That is one reason, I think, why stocks did not break materially lately even when we had a real money flurry."y WHOLESALE PRODUCE.

Plenty of “pep” characterized the hog market from the start. Everybody was in the market and there was a lively scramble among buyers to get their share. ; , Order men, with better prospect of getting their stuff out, were active and local packers had to fall in line or be left out. . , The result was a market that had salesmen wreathed in smiles —they named their own price and the buyers had to meet it. • . The bnlk of the best light hogs from 160 to 225 pounds sold at $17.50, with a few sales of the heavier hogs around 200 pounds recorded at $17.25. Pigs were sharply higher with a sl7 top for good weights, which were in liberal supply. There was not much active competition for sow's and they ruled about 25c higher, with the bulk of sales at $13.25 and a top of $13.50. Cattle. Receipts, 1.600; market. 25@50c lower. Buyers succeeded in taking the wire edge off the cattle mnrket on the strength of more liberal receipts and no urgent orders. _ , Cows Rnd heifers were 25@50c lower, with cannei’s and bulls steady. Heavy steers were considered 7ocfttsl lower than Friday, although they suffered a good 50c drop in tho short market of Saturday. Load of heavy steers weighing around 1,300 lbs sold at $14.10 and another bnnch brought $13.75. Calves. Receipts, 900; market 50c<S$l lower. Orders for the east and local packers were able to handle all the calves, but were unwilling to pay for them on a scale of prevailing prices Saturday. It is said the east has a good run of calves on bond and that there is no particularly urgent need for manv more. The coutentii.u is also made that the local market is out of line with otbet outside markets nnd that an eventng-up process was needed.

FARMERS ANSWER COMMISSION MEN Officers Say Proposition Is Not Acceptable. A meeting of the permanent livestock committee of the Indiana Federation of Farmers will be called this week by John G. Brown of Monon, president, for the purpose of considering an offer made by the Indianapolis Livestock Exchange to collect certain fees on all stock sold. The money would be used to create a permanent fund for the advancing of livestock interests, according to E. E. Reynolds, treasurer of the association. Officers of the farmers’ organization today expressed an opinion that the offer of the stock exchange will not be acceptable. A request was made by the Indiana State Farmers’ Federation that local livestock commission men collect nnd pay to the treasurer of that organization the sum of 1 rent n head on all hogs, calves nnd sheep nnd 4 cents a head on all eattle sold iu the Indianapolis stock yards. This was agreed to by members of the livestock exchange providing that each shipper signed a written agreement ,to suhml(A|| the assessment. I AccordiflK officials of the association, this last HB-islon would kill the purpose nf ttflvtire proposition.
