INDIANAPOLIS RANKS THIRD IN GRAIN MARKETS Rail Facilities Help Give City Place Among Largest in Country. HIGHER PRICES PREVAIL Excellent as is the slogan that "Indianapolis is a good town and Indiana !■ a groat state.” it scratches only the surface both for city and state in many limes of Nisiness actirlties and productive lines. Because of its multiplicity of railroad lines, linequaled or even approached by any other inland city in the United States, and also because of the vast agricultural territory tributary to it. Indianapolis has. The biggest -.ml best white corn market in the routnry. More traders on its cash grain exchange than any other American city except New York. Chicago or Minneapolis. A better market for cash com. cither white or yellow, which brings 5 cent* more a bushel to its shipper when sold in Indianapolis than when sold at Chicago, with oats sold here bringing about 8 or 9 cent* more a bushel for the shipper than when sold in Chicago. These facts, known only to compa-n----tivety few. were brought out in making a comparison between the prices paid for cash corn and oats here and at Chicago. The explanation for the higher price received by the shipper by selling his com or oats here instead of at Chicago is tersely given by Edgar D. Anderson, chairman of the call committee of the ladlanapoils drain Exchange, as follows: SITUATION HERE FAVORS SHIPPER. “The com and oats that are bought in Chicago must be delivered in that city by the seller at bis own expense. “On the other hand, this grain is bought here f. o. b. (free on board! at point of shipment. “In other words, the shipper Belling his corn or oats at Chicago has to pay the freight for delivery there, while if sold here the Indianapolis buyer instead of the shipper pays that freight. “Roughly speaking, therefore, the shipper saves the freight by selling here instead of at Chicago, and It is a fair statement to make that this saving nets the shipper at least 5 cent# more for his corn and 8 or 9 cents more for his oats." So well are these facts known to the most prominent "in the game." that it Is no nnnsual thing for Chicago or Peoria to sell corn here. That statement, coupled with the ranking of Indianapolis in the fourth place among grain exchanges of the country brought Inquiry as to the volnme of business done here and how it is handled. TRADING PERMITS RISE 900 PER CENT. In response the astonishing revelation was made that the value of trading permits on the floor of the Indianapolis grain exchange has increased exactly 900 per cent In the last five years. In 1915. when floor trading was resumed after a period of abandonment totaling about twenty-five years, these permits were obtainable for $250. Today these same j*ermit are bid for at $2,509 —and are In big demand at that, with quite a number waiting to grab the first one on sale. Moreover, the exchange has outgrown the room that it uses on the seventh floor of the Board of Trade building, tables designed for one being crowded with four, the result being that plans for the best way to obtain more space are being earnestly discussed. The local Board of Trade has approxl mately 500 resident members and a' . least fifty of these, or 10 per cent, are active grain dealers. As to the manner in which the business Is handled. Mr. Anderson said : "One day last winter we received 319 cars cf corn, not our record receipts, but sufficiently large to make some of us wonder what we were going to lo with it. “Asa matter of fact, when we got thiongh. everything had gone so smoothly and expeditiously that none of us had had time to give further thought to the unusual volnme." RATE ADJUSTMENT CLOSES EXCHANGE. Floor trading was suspended by members of the exchange immediately after passage of the Interstate commerce law on account of the resultant adjustment of roil rates, which put this city at a great disadvantage, and the pernicious reign for years of the rebating system for favored shippers, coupled with the policy of the railroads toward concentrating tonnage at the chief centers, such as Chicago. Indianapolis suffered, it was then thought, because of its loss of many railroad terminals, but this has proved a blessing in disguise, resulting in the increased number of roads now operating to and through the city from all points to the compass. During the absence of floor trading for a quarter of a century, business was done from office to office, with samples of grain on the tables of each trader, and meanwhile the Board of Trade, hy patient snd persistent efforts, succeeded finally in obtaining equalization of rail rate*, making such Improved arrangements for loading and handling thaf floor trading was resumed in the first year of the war. LAKE COMPETITION IS REMOVED. One great disadvantage of the city in years past was competition of lake freights during the seasons of naviga-
