(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug 12 — When trading in stocks is of such slender volume as it was today price movements do not have much significance. In the recovery which took place after the market had opened generally lower, it’s possible that a more hopeful feeling in regard to outcome of events in Europe was trying to find expression, but the news from abroad lent itself to many conflicting interpretations. The buying was of a character to suggest conviction was lacking. Some accumulation of oil shares was seen, but on the whole covering by shorts accounted for a larger share of the demand. Copper shares were inclined to reflect the unfavorable trade conditions to which statements of earnings issued by several companies in this group gave color. The market closed dull, but with all a confident tone. NEW YORK LIBERTY BONDS.

Canadian demand was .08860. In the Cotton Markets NEW YORK, Aug. 12—The cotton market opened easy today at a decline of 15 to--35 pointa on selling, due to foreign news. It was reported that the National Glnners association had put the condition of the crop at 75.5, or a loss of 1.1 points during the past two weeks. Trade was active and pressure was heavy for a time, but offerings appeared to be absorbed well by commission houses. The rise carried prices up fully 35 points from the lowest levels. The entire list weakened in the late afternoon under heavy selling of December. The close was steady, unchanged to 50 points lower. New York cotton range. Open. High. Low. Close.

A further complicated European situation, easier cotton markets in the south and heavy selling in the early afternoon, supposed to be for Japanese interests. The National ginners figure was regarded as too high, most observers of crop conditions agreeing that there must have been deterioration. A telegram from Charlotte. N. C., however, said that farmers in that section did not regard rains as dangerous. Asa matter of fact, rainß this month would be beneficial, except that they increase the weevil.. The general situation still suggests a two-sided market devoid of fixed tendency.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 12.—Cotton fu tures opened 2 to 15 points lower and on some covering and spot buying advanced 22 to 45 points.

GRAIN MARKET MOVES UPWARD Russian Drouth Is Bullish Factor—Provisions Up. CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—The involved political situation in Europe, coupled with reports that the wheat crop in Russia had been reduced half by drouth, was a bullish factor in the grain market today. Wheat showed a substantial gain from the start, while corn and oats advanced appreciably after an early sag. December opened 2c higher at $2.40% and gained an additional 4c at the close. March opened at $2.43, up lc aud closed at $2.45. September corn, after opening unchanged, gained 4%c and closed at $1.52%. December opened off %e, but later gained 2%c, closing at $1.27%. September oats opened at 72%c, off %e and closed at 72%e.. December opened %c lower at 70%c, closed 71 %c. Provisions were higher. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —Aug. 12Wheat —Export demand for wheat for quick shipment hns been revived. This condition, coupled with the refusal of the country to sell in any volume, has strengthened the entire market. Leading cash interests have been the best buyers. Premiums for cash wheat were advanced to the basis of 16 cents over December. There was a report that South America had bought one or two cargoes of United States wheat. No confirmation of this was obtainable. Corn—The immediate and therefore the more active, elements, in the corn situation, namely. Inadequate receipts and increasing premiums, have been responsible for a change of position by former sellers of corn. Crop news and weather forecast arc not unfavorable. New crop corn from Argentina is reported as being offered at $1.30 in New i'ork. Items of this nature have been ignored in the face of material strength in the cash markets here and southwest. Yellow corn was In demand from shippers, selling as high as 16 cents over September and being quoted 4 cents higher for the day in this market and 9 cents In St. Louis. One of the local Industries claims ta have supplied its immediate needs in cash corn. None the legs, the cash market closes strong with no evidence of any increase In the receipts. We are inclined to believe that the cash position is.be ing more widely recognized by the trade and will be the dominating influence, preventing any weakness until the difference between the September and the current receipts is overcome. Oats —Stagnation prevails in the oats market, trade being entirely of a local character. Sentiment favors lower prices, but the strength In corn prevents exploitation of bearish ideas. Seaboard again reports export inquiry but does not give any business as closed. Provisions—There was some better tone In provisions based on ttie action of grains, although there were more inquiries for cash lard. Entire market is dull and awaits developments.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12,1920.

Terse Market Notes STOCKS. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Russia and FranceNgeem at odds to know just how to meet the Lenlne threat, but it is the consensus of opinion here that France in recognizing Gen. Wrangel, has taken a step in the right direction, and it is to be hoped that she grows strong enough to justify recongitiou at Washington aud London. In the meantime the domestic situation is such that we must be wary. Soviet literature is flying around loose and so are the soviet threats aud promises. True meaning of the various moves on the politic checker board of Europe is hard to fathom. On the whole, the foreign situation does not appear to show much improvement and the effect is easily seen on today's market. The break in prices has been so drastic among many good specialties that they are hard to buy now, though any new flood of selling would possible make mariet take on -a sickly pallor again. Railroads seem to have bit a snap in the attitude of state commissioners In regard to the interstate rates which may cause temporary delay in making new freight and passenger schedules effective. COTTON. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Liverpool cotton came just about aB expected this morning. 31 to 33 points lower, with a corresponding drop of points in spot cotton. ' The foreign political situation had little. if any, influence on prices. Slightly less rain has been reported over the cotton belt during the last twenty-four hours, although private reports complain of too much rain in Texas. grain. CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—1n view of the action of the cash grain, the futures are working into a strong position. The general trend of the market seems upward, for the time being, and it would appear that for the present at least corn and oats could be bought on tho weak spots. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 12.—Wheat is up 10 cents here and the market is strong, with a keen demand. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. —The total sales of stocks todav were 440,600 shapes. Bond sales totaled $9,036,000.

On Commission Row The general produce market has developed a dull tone within the last few days, due probably to the fact that farmers are now bringing produce into the city and selling not only to the grocers but also peddling It direct to the consumer. Practically the only change In *he price list today effected cantaloupes, which dropped to $1 to $2.50 h rate. Despite the general opinion that there would be some fluctuation in the price of potatoes, there lias been practically no ebauge since the flurry of more than a week ago.

Eagle of Chicago, addressing the farmers’ Institute this afternoon, declared that, more thnn half the population of the United States Is now living in towns and cities. ‘‘Thirty years ago only 36.1 per cent of our population was urban,” Eagle said. "This means that the food of all the people Is being produced by a steady decreasing portion of the population. "In 1850 the acreage cl farm land per capita was about 12% ; Ipy 1010 It shrunk to about 0%. ‘‘The average quality of the land Is now poorer than twevty-five years ago. due to the poorer q lality of the lund more recently opened. "These facts mean . (hat agriculture must be Improved greatly, that the United States must import mife or that the people must eat less.” v

Measure Hog Cost in Dollars WASHINGTON, Aug. 12—Measuring the price of hogs in bushels of corn. Instead of In della?*, is it form of applied mathematics used by the United States department of agriculture in keeping tali on ths prices f farm products. Theoretically W 0 pounds oi live hogs should be worth about thirteen bushels of corn. The ratio varies. It is generally highest In the corn belt and loe:t In New England, the fsr tontb, and the l’ar wear. At the present time the ratio is unusually narrow -that is. 106 pounds of bog is not worth as many bushels of corn as usual. "Department experts draw the Inference that during tha next twelve months hogs will advance more than corn or corn will decllno more than hogs.
