MIXED TONE IN STOCK DEALINGS Market Holds Well, Despite Short Activities. NEW YORK. July 29.—Tha stock market was one of mixed price movements today, with the trend generally toward higher levels. Traders were generally on the short side of the market, but bear attacks failed to affect prices a great deal dur lng the first hour. Steel held around 88, and other leaders were a point or more above yesterday's close. Factors affecting the market favorably were reports that the interstate commerce commission would grant a substantial increase In both freight and passenger rates this week and the optimistic statement of Gov. Harding of the federal reserve board. At the end of the first hour the market for outside securities was heavy, with business restricted. Another dron in demand sterling resulted in renewal of the bear drive. At $3.73, sterling was at the lowest figure since March 18. United States Steel touched yesterday’s low of 8714 and Republic Steel made anew low on the decline at 841i. Large buying orders were put in after these figures were reached, and the entire steel group recovered. United States Steel gaining a point. The recovery affected the entire list, gains running from 1 to 3 points in the third hour. In the fourth hour activity developed in the rails under the leadership of Reading and Southern. Reading at 89 s *. was up nearly 3 points over the weekls law. Firmness in the rails served to stimulate further short covering In the Industrials. The market acted well In the last half hour. Large blocks of Steel common were taken at 89. up near 2 points over the day's low. Activity, however, continues to center in rails, with Reading, Frisco and Southern Railway leading. Nearly all the active issues made good gains near the end and closed at the best figures of the day. Government bonds closed unchanged, and railroad and other bonds steady. Total stocks sales were 558.900 shares: bonds. $9,291,000. MOTOR SECURITIES. By Thomson &. McKinnon) —July 29 —Opening— Bid. Ask.

Terse Market Notes STOCKS—Twenty representative industrial stocks at the close of business on Wednesday showed an average of 86.96, a decline of .72. Twenty active rails averaged 71.80, off .18. Gov. Harding of the federal reserve board says that as far as money and credit for moving crops are concerned, it is only fair to say that the country has never been In so good a pos.tion as now. In the five months ended April ?n, if,2o, the Crucible Steel Company earned net profits after all charges of $5,961,200, or the equivalent of $13.56 a share of the $37,500,000 common stock.

A special meeting of stockholders of the International Harvester Company was held this morning to ratify the proposed increase in stock nad approve dividends. It is estimated that loans in Wall street are down close to $800,000,000. Steel trade organs in their weekly review of conditions find that little improvement has been made in transportation facilities and see further curtailment of operations unless something unforeseen happens. Royal Dutch, it is reported, is to acquire additional interests in Russian oil i fields for $250,000,000. The Great Northern Railway is to bor- ; row $15,000,000 from the $500,000,000 re- ! volving fund provided in the transportation act. This, with $3,000,000 supplied by the company, will be used to take up the $2 000/100 three-year 5 per cent notes maturing Sept. 21. The interest rate of the Bank of England remains unchanged nt 7 per cent. GRAIN—CIay county. Indiana, farmers have refused t<> pay the prices s<>r by the County Thrasherrnen's association and have prepared a scale of prices of their own. The thrnshernien asked 5 cents for oats, 10 cents for wheat and 15 cents for I rye. The farmers' proposal is 5 cents for oats, 9 cents for wheat and 12 cents for rye. Greensburg, Ind., wires that a field of fourteen acres produced 578 bushels of wheat, an average of a little more than fortv-one bushels an acre. With corn in fine condition, farmers are predicting a large yield in Jackson county, Indiana. Ears nre forming on the early planted corn already. The secretary of agr culture says that Oklahoma has raised 40.000,000 bushels of wheat this year. Previous estimates have been around 80,000,000. The Clement-Curtis estimate of the oot- j ton crop condition Is placed nt 73 per ! cent of normal. NEW YORK METAL MARKET.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1920.

In the Cotton Markets NEW YORK, July 29.—Influenced by a bearish unofficial report on the condition of the crop, low cables from Liverpool, a break in foreign exchange market and favorable weather, selling of cotton was resumed today, causing a decline of 7 to 72 points at the opening of the market.

GRAIN PRICES IN GENERAL UPTURN j Buying Move Gains as Trading Makes Headway. CHUSiGO, July 29.—Fears of crop i damage because of lack of rain over I the corn belt caused sharply higher prices j cn the Board of Trade this morning, but j the country stayed out of the market and increasing tightness In the financial situation started a selling wave that wiped out all advances, except for July oats. With only two days more in which to make deliveries that month showed increased tightness. Provisions followed grain, losing all the early advance and more. Corn led the market, advancing sharply at the opening on the government weekly summary that rains are needed in practically all sections. This caused short covering in all pits and prices reacted quickly all along the line. July oats alone failed to drop below yesterday’s closing level. Sentiment was decidedly mixed after the iq-eak. as the Corn crop Is at the critical pollination stage in lowa and Illinois, and its outcome hinges on the ! weather for the next two weeks. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —July 29 The wheat market has every Indication of working lower for the cash property, which is still selling at considerable premium over December. A Iflrge crop is coming through, on top of a heavy carry-over and this must | eventually have a market effect on values, i Corn was higher early, tinder the Ini fluenee of local and elevator interest efforts for further advance. The motive was some sectional dry ] wpather reports. ] The percentage of the growing crop j that needs rain is so small that it does i not seem u*ise to take It seriously. I July corn showed 8 cents advance with ! September and December following. Till* 1 improvement in values was the signal [ for a good deal of selling by misceliaj neous buyers on the recent decline. ] Oats had a strong opening, in symj psthy with corn. July making the meet ! advance, but there was no merit Jo the action Just sympathetic. The new movement of oat* is coining along satisfactorily, nnd December oats at anything over 70c looks a sale. Lard was well supported by packers. Hog* were sharply higher. We expect (he legitimate position of 1 hv and la/d to show strength in the near future* and have faith in their being a purchase on soft spots at present. CHICAGO GRAIN. —July 29Open. High. Low.

BLIND WORKERS IN LIVELY TILT Association President and Institute Head Disagree. A lively argument between Superintendent Wilson of the Indiana State Blind institute and F. H. Reese, president of the Indiana Association of Workers for the Blind, held the stage at the morning session of the organization today. Ina speech setting forth the necessity of obtaining a suitable site for the blind institute, Mr. Wilson asked the association to endorse him in his efforts. “The bill which passed the legislature making the present site of the institute the location of the proposed sate memorial will necessitate tha he blind insitute find other quarters,” he said. Mr. Wilson said that he believed other more advantageous locations with public improvements could be found in a residence section of the city of Indianapolis which is not too far from the downtown section, “The selection of this site," he declared, “will be of vital importance to the school for the next hundred years.” SAYS TEACHERS ARE UNDERPAID. The fact that the teachers of the state Institute are not paid enough was emphasized by the speaker, but he included the statement that they are just as efficient as the teachers of other public schools. "The children receive equally as gooY instruction as the children of the stai, public schools,” be declared. That an appropriation of $300,000 to cover the cost of erecting anew building was Inadequate was also emphasized by„ the speaker. At the close of Mr. Wilson’s speech, Mr. Reese asked him if the teachers in the art department of the Institute nre us efficient as those of the public schools in the large cities of the state.
