Crucible lost all of the early Improvement, dropping to 92%. Steel common shaded off slightly. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 8— The market was fairly strong Monday during the forenoon, not because of any unusual public demand for stocks, but | mainly because offerings were light and ! the local professional element were obsorblng what etocks appeared on the : market. Evidently they were desirous of reducing their short commitments in anticipa j tlon of a favorable conclusion of the rep- | aration problem at the London confer- ' ence. Later In the day when it appeared that j affairs had taken an unfavorable turn. ! the local element because rather aggressive again in selling and earfy gains j were soon lost. There was nothing In general news or trade developments over It. week-end to Influence the market in either direction, though the condition of the banks, ns ; disclosed in the week-end statements, j was favorable.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1921.

GRAIN MARKET OPENS INACTIVE Only Fractional Changes in Price Quotations. CHICAGO, March B.—Dealers apparently were Inclined to await developments in wheat at the start today and the market was inactive. March wheat was unchanged to %c lower and May unchanged to 1c off. There was some selling of corn at the start, but trade on the whole was light. May was %c lower and July unchanged. Oats opened steady with light offering#. There was no trading in provisions at the start. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 8— Wheat—Rains, where most needed, over the winter wheat belt, fairly liberal receipts In western terminals, and an absence of export or milling demand, gave color to the wheat market Monday. Judging from the smallness of transactions, there is no desire to enter into the market in any large extent until the situation is more clearly outlined. This lack of interest is the prominent feature In the market at the moment. Pacific coast tells of purchases of several lots of Canadian wheat. So far as new demand was concerned, there was nothing discoverable, except that Germany .was inquiring. All principal markets note a very poor flour business and casli wheat corroborates by the easy tone displayed and by a loss of premiums. Today's market Is likely to prove as uninteresting as was Monday’s market, for the reason that the crop re port covering condition and farm reserves is to be Issued Just at. the close. Taking into consideration the apathy of the investing public, the slow flour de- ! mand and the total elimination of export business, it would seem that the market should drag lower unless' some surprise in tomorrow’s report. Corn and Oats—lt is constantly re- | ported that country dealers are not selling corn and the farmer is busv in the fields. None the less, receipts or corn in this market alone average around 400 cars daily, which Is more than sufficient for what little export business hs# been dona and for all other needs. Tho hedging loads in the market is increasing as evi- | denned by the further increase 1 u the visible supply. Market is not displaying any weakness more because the farm ; value is considerably lower than any- i thing in the last five years, rather than from any pronounced demand. We be lieve corn and oats will reflect the action | of wheat in a small way. Provisions —Dullness, lower hogs and | the action of grains were felt in provl- ; sions. Fresh meats were slightly easier. This market seem# to take it# color from the hog market, which In turn is governed by the size of the receipts. Developments of some sort are necessary If prices are to bo lifted from their present routine. CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 8— WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

If I hixdn’t had money from home I wouldn't hajve had enough food. And they charged high prices for the extra stuff I paid t fiem for. too." Another Kvnrrsville boy, Lester Hurley, 15. said ; “The Jail is worse under the new sheriff than it was 11 Oder the old one. “They painted it up a little when the new sheriff runic in, but it is Just the same old Jal!„ .Tun in the same old xvay and condition's are no better now than they were before."

er, 90 years of age. He said he had been given n sentence of nine months at the penal farm for sending his 14-year-old daughter for whisky, and that when he escaped from the farm he was caught and served eighteen months at the Michigan City prison for the offense. Judge Anderson expressed surprise at the stiffness of the sentence Imposed by the State courts and took the case under adTlsement. Lester Hurley, 15, special delivery messenger at Evansville, admitted that he had stolen about $4 from special delivery letters and had attempted to cash a stolen money order for SIOO. He had been In Jail more than five weeks and the court continued his casei, told him to go j home, keep his hands off things that i did not belong to bim and to report again May 3, when the case will be disposed of finally. COMES PREPARED TO PAY FINE. Overpreparedness probably cost Alva L. ! Moffltt, farmer of Straughn, a good stiff fine for sending obscene letters through j the mails. Under questioning of Judge I Anderson he said he had about S2OO with ! him in cash ; further questioning induced him to raise the estimate to S3OO, and I finally he. admitted that he had SSOO with ‘ him. lie was fined S3OO and costs. John W. Sargent, 2150 Bellefontalne stn*et, Indianapolis, was fined SIOO and costs for a similar offense and given ninety days In which to pay. Tharel Lawson, taxi driver, Indianapolis. also charged with sending obscene letters through the mails, was permitted to go free when it was shown that he had been in Jail awaiting trial since Nov. 23. A combination of offenses ranging from forging postoffice money orders to taking a continent-wide trip in a stolen automobile that xvound up in a thrilling wild xvest chase and capture, featured by much gun play at Seligman, Ariz., earned a five-year sentence in the At- i iauta prison for Carl V. Bricker, son of the postmaster of Burns City. It de- i veloped |n the evidence that Bricker had j forged money orders at Burns City, ; then had made a trip to California and Arizona in a stolen automobile, leaving a trail of bad checks all along the route, the last one being a check for SSC9 cashed In California. TERM GIVEN IN A CTO CASE. That automobile thieves who ship stolen cars in interstate trafflce can expect no leniency from the Federal Court was shown by the sentence of eighteen months imposed on Wilbur Waters, 40, of Clinton. Joseph Huttacker and other parties stole an automobile in Illinois and with Waters drove it to Terre Haute. M aters had no part in the theft, but knewtbe car had been stolen. Huffucker is now serving a sentence in the Illinois Reformatory for the theft. “I don't xvant to do this, and I wish I could let you go,” Judge Anderson said in pronouncing sentence, “but this busl- j ness of stealing automobiles must be | broken up.” This morning at 10 o’clock Judge An- j derson resumed the task of pronounc- ; lng sentence on those defendants who entered pleas of guilty and the entire day was taken up In this work. It Is believed that trial of defendants entering pleas of not guilty will begin about March 21. Weather The following table shows the state of j the w-eather at 7 a. m., March S, as observed by U.
