(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Sept. 17— At the opening quotations were so close to yesterday’s final' price3. it seemed we were continuing the same session, and while the undertone seemed to be firm. It looked as though there was a little hesitancy on the part of the trade, but before many minutes passed it became apparent that there was a spirit of determination back of the market and offerings became scarcer as the anxiety to buy became greater. There were some slight reactionary moments during the *day, but the little irregularity that developed only served to demonstrate more clearly that there was not pressure to speak of and that the disposition of the public, as well as local traders, was to accumulate stocks. Prices hardened and some fair advances were established in various groups LEGAL NOTICE.

and a most noticeable and favorable feature was the extension of activity into a few groups that have heretofore been rather passive. The rails not only held well but some new highs were established. The oils continued to occupy the place of prominence In the industrial list.

A top of $17.65 was established early in trading, while there were a few hogs brought as high as $17.75 outside the market. _ Good light hogs brought $17.50® 17/55: good mixed generally brought $17.25® 17.50, and heavies brought sl®[email protected], with but few selling as low as $16.90. Roughs were steady with the Thursday prices at $15.50 and down, while pigs were slightly up at $16.75 and down. The bulk of the sales during the forenoon market were $17.25(®17.60. * Receipt* for the day approximated 6.600 fresh hogs, with around 2.500 left over from the Thursday market. There were not the large number or good light hogs on the market today that there were Thursday and commission men said that hogs that brought $17.50 on the market of the day before would easily have brought $lB on the market today. With light receipts at 700. there was a revival of spirit In the trading in cuttle, especially in steers and what few good light fat stuff there were on the market. Common and medium grades were about steady with the markets of the past few weeks, with if any change at all. a slight and gradual trend downward. Some grades of good light fat cattle were fully 25c higher, while a few odd lots of steers were even higher than that. There were, however, very few of either of the grades that were higher. Commission) men say thrtt never since they hare been on the market, and some of them have been there fifteen or twenty years, have they seen before such a flood of poor grades of cuttle. There were a few who bad hopes that this flood had reached high tide and would recede, but that few have almost given np such hopes, for a time at least. Trading on the calf market developed a dull ton* early In trading and at the close of the forenoon session there was but little, if any, Improvement. Prices were about steady with the market of the dny before. There were but few outside buyers on the market and moat of the little trading that was done were transactions among speculators. Receipts for the dsy approximated 650. With approximately 1,090 sheep and lambs on the market, sheep were steady and lambs were a shade higher, many more lambs selling at sl2 than there were on the market of the d.Xy before.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17,1920.

On Commission Row

Trading on the produce market developed a little firmer tone at the opening of the market today, turd after the first hour it became even firmer. There was an exceptionally gotfd supply of produce on the market, considering the time of the week and the cool weather that has been prevalent for the past Rrw days. With the influx of Michigan and New York peaches on the market during the last two or three days, there has been a decrease in prices, but it is thought that the bottom in prices have been reached, and that with the nearing of the end of the New York and Mlchigau 'crop that the prices will again soar. It is really only a short time now until the peach crop will be over. Conservative estimates have put it at Oct. 15 to *T, and the market here probably will have but a limited supply by the fLst of October. Michigan Alberta* were selling at around $3.25 a bushel and New York Carmens at $3 a bushel. Other grades were selling even lower. The supply of extra fancy Detroit Red apples was about exhausted with the better trading late yesterday and the early hours of today's market. There are several cars of extra fancy Bartlett pears on the market now, selling at $2.75@3 a bushel. Avery limited supply of Michigan huckleberries was rapidly exhausted early in the market at $4®4.50 a crate of sixteen quarts, but there will be another supply on the market tomorrow or the next day. Green peppers are now selling at $1.50 a crate, with only a few scattered lots on the market. There were a few odd loft of alligator pears on the market at $3 a dozen. .Watermelons are now selling at just about what retail dealers will pay for them, which is not very much, the prices averaging between 25 and 35 cents. The limited supply of honey that was on the market yesterday whs exhausted and honey does not seem to be coming on the market very rapidly. TODAY’S TRICES. Apples—Baskets. $1.50&2.50.
