STOCK MARKET CLOSE UNSTEADY Crucible Steel Loses*3 Points in Final Trade. NEW TORK, April 2.—The stock market closed unsettled today. The market had an unsettled tone In the late dealings, many of the active Issues being in llarge supply. _ I United States Steel sold down to 80% ■nd Crucible broke over 3 points to 83*%. fcmerlcan Sumatra yielded over 4 points lo 71% followed by a rally to 73%. e Chandler Motors fell nearly 2 points to % and Ptudehaker dropped 4 points on Brge sales to 72%. W Mexican Petroleum rose to 141 and then ftrlelded to 140. ■ Total sales of stocks today were 243.900 pharos; bonds, $4,044,000. ■ f Total sales of stocks for the week were r 5.771,600 shares; bonds, $49,235,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 2 ‘ The volume of business transacted today on the stock exchange was moderate, bnt there was considerable activity in a limited number of issues. Sentiment on the exchange was against fIV market, and the professional element Took advantage of every opportunity. During the early trading, Atlantic Gulf and Mexican Petroleum were in ample supply, but some short covering during the day steadied values. There wall no significance In any of the trading. American Beet Sugar and American Sumatra were the real weaklings of tl.e market. In sugar, the action and the price Indicates doubt as to the dividends, while In Sumatra, the market has been very kthln and the support very poor. I Pennsylvania has been under pressure ■again : liquidation in this stock continues 'steadily. Studebaker also suffered in the days' trading. Dis< usslon is again heard of a prospective cut in tho price of steel products by big companies. This will, of course, prove to be temporarily a disturbing eleinient In the market, but If a cut In price bhould be offset by a corresponding decrease In wages the result ultimately rshould prove beneficial, since business will be stimulated and the companies will .be assured a fair profit on their output L Conditions in Europe are unchanged, pnd a prolongation of the coal strike will maturally be detrimental to business. The coming week there will be a number of incorporate meetings and the action on dividends will be an Important factor in the market. Temporarily, the market looks as though some further reaction is likely.

Asks to Control Indiana Railway WASHINGTON, April 2.—The Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul R. R. Cos., today asked the Inter-State Commerce Commission for authority to acquire control of the Chicago, Terre Haute A Southern R. R. Cos. Stock Market Review NEW YORK, April 2.—The evening Sun financial review today said: “With few exceptions, values were not materially changed in that short session of the stock market and trading was lacking In snap and vigor. “Little attention was paid to price movements In commission houses or elsewhere in the etreet and it was clear that many absented themselves, succumbing to the lure of an extended week-end in the country in splendid weather. “The market was therefore an almost wholly perfunctory performance from beginning to end and it was difficult to read any worthwhile meaning into_ the sluggish movements of most Issues.”

GRAIN FUTURES CLOSE HIGHER Early Losses Entirely Wiped Out in Late Trade. CHICAGO, April 2.—Upturns In wheat late In the session were sharp and other grains followed In sympathy. All early losses were more than wiped out Crops news continued generally favorable and the forecast is for fair weather. Provisions dropped sharply under a resumption of liquidating sales. Resting prices for May wheat were at gains of 2 to 2%c. July wheat advanced l%c. May corn was up % to (4c and July, % to %c. May oats were, %c off and July and September, %c up. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 2 Wheat—The price of wheat In tbe Unite.d States seems to be attractive to foreign buyers, even in tbe new crop, as three was some evidence of export business based upon the July prices. The volume of export trade during the last fe wdays is variably estimated, some seaboard people figuring as high as 10,000,000 bushels. Whatever the actual amount, it has been large enough to prompt acceptance of profits by previous sellers, although It is difficult to say whether an investment demand has appeared as yet. There is an increasing feeling on part of larger interests, notably cash handlers, that tbe excellent crop outlook has been too fully exploited and that more attention should be given to small supplies actually available and the volume of foreign demand. The recent freezing temperatures have been forgotten although It was said at the time that a few days of warm weather would be necssary to determine whether any damage Damage reports are commencing to come from a portion of Kansas and it Is more than probable that the recent flattering crop news may change at any moment. Buying by seaboard has placed the market in a position where It would be sharply responsive to unfavorable crop news We share in the Idea that the various arguments used for lower prices have had due consideration and that the market Is now in position to give better account of itself. Corn and Oats—While the country is reported as liquidating wheat, there is no evidence of any Increase in offerings of corn or oats. Receipts are now running very light and cash article is decreasing its former discount. 7 here Is little, u any. improvement in distributing demand of the corn, but there Is a broadening inquiry for oats. These markets entitled to a reaction. l’rovlslous —Cash, trade seems to be for immediate necessities only. Market Is subjected to constant liquidation although of small proportion.

SEE FAILURE OF LATE PLANS TO CREATE STRIFE (Continued From Page One.) candidate for the city clerkship nomination. Maude Swift Anthony, 110S College avenue, wishes to he councilman from the Second district and Florence McFeeters, 262S Jackson street from the Fifth district, as Democrats. With the lists dlosed tonight the politicians will begin to speculate on the candidates who will withdraw. The city board of election commissioners has ruled that withdrawals may be made up to the midnight of April 8. In the meantime the candidates are entering the final month of primary campaign. Chief interest centered in the three leading Republican candidates for mayor, Mr. Shank, Mr. Robison and Mr. Howe. These men have been actively in the race for more than a month and all are offering tangible results of their work to the public appraisal. ADVANTAGES OF CANDIDATES. While the three chief candidate* are busy on their speaking schedules in all parts of the city all were still busy perfecting their organization. In this Mr. Shank and Mr. Howe appeared to have a slight advantage over Mr. Robißon. Mr. Havre has the Jewett-Roemler-I.emeke county organization as a framework for his staff of workers. The 2,090 or more city and county employes whom the triumvirate claim to control are being whipped into tine for Mr. Howe. Mr. Shank had the workers be had four years ago as a skeleton for his organization. His organization work has progressed so rapidly and smoothly in the hands of Dr. E. E. Hodgin and Louis W. Carnefix that today It Is farther advanced than that of either of the other candidates. Mr. Shank’s women's organization appeared to be particularly strong. There are at least 1.200 women, of Itll creeds and social standing, actively working for Mr. Shank. There is not a precinct in Indianapolis In which there are not from one to fifteen active workers. Mr. Robison ha* had 'to construct his organization from the ground up. Picking bis men and women from the ranks of those bitterly opposed to the present city administration and the personal friends who fopght for him in former year*; when he was running for county treaenrer and member of the board "bf school commissioners he has succeeded so far in getting lines laid in practically nil of the precincts of the city. Within a few days, his leaders claim, the entire city will be covered. SHANK COVERS MORE GROUND. Mr. Shank has covered more ground In his speaking campaign than the other cand.dates. He has invaded the north, south, east and west sections and somewhat to the surprise even of his campaign managers met with the same enthusiastic approval in precincts formerly considered as antagonistic to him as he did In those districts where he is the hero of entire families. Mr. Shank has covered about one-third of ther city In this fashion. The Itobison speaking tour has led chiefly Into the negro wards, where hi* present strength apparently Is great. However, Mr. Kobieon has shifted into the north side occasionally with what he regards as gratifying results. Only one Robison meeting has been held in the south side It was understood that the candidate intended to start his Invasion of this section in earnest within the next two weeks. Mr. Howe has held, a large number ot secret organization meetings, but ba only permitted the public to catch a glimpse of him on one or two occasion*. Ills speechmaking was expected to be of the whirlwind, wind-up variety during the final month. Mr, Robison is counting a great deal on hi* women's organization. Some of the ablest women politicians in the city are gathered at his women's headquarters In the Traction Terminal bnlluing. CITY HALL INVADED. There have been many reports to the effect that both Mr. Shank and Mr. Robison have been cutting into Mr. Howe'* hold on city and county employes. While It was regarded na true that a great many more In this class than the Howe managers seem to realize are not sincerely interested In Mr. Ilowe there was no great number out working openly for Mr. Shank and Mr. Robison. Managers for th* latter candidate* have uniformly advised city and county employes who have volunteered to work for them th*t It. would be wisest for them to go through tho motions of supporting Mr. Howe in order to hold thoir Jobs and support their families, but secretly to sap the H?We organization whenever possible, it is understood.

LAW IS FARCE, CITY GARBAGE PROBLEM SHQWS (Continued From Page One.) sand dollars ($1,000) conditioned upon the performance of said work of collecting and removing garbage in the manner herein provided and providing further for the payment to tho said city the sum of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each violation of this ordinance. It shall be the duty of said city controller to issue said license to every such person, firm or corporation giving such, bond.” Despite the fact that this ordinance was passed on Feb. 3 and signed by Mayor Jewett on Feb. 27. taking effect thereon because it carried an emergency clause, it has never been strictly enforced. There are at the present time only four private collectors holding garbage collecting licenses. An attache of the sanitary board, however, he estimates that there are it least fifty private collectors. LAW EFFECTIVE IF ENFORCED. ' Had the sanitary board and the mayor believed that tbe private collectors were responsible for the garbage plant losing money, it is pointed out, they would have taken the means provided In the ordinance to have at least given the collectors considerable trouble. Many of the collectors, it is said, are men with only a single horse and wagon, who would be financially unable to pay a SSO fee and file a SI,OOO bond. The ordinance gives the city administration further oportunlty to discourage the rivate collecto-s, which oortunity also ho* been neglected. It specifically makes it unlawful for any one not a licensed or a city collector to collect garbage and haul It over the streets of Indianapolis. After prescribing the manner of receptacle in which citizens shall deposit their garbage for collections, the la* states: UNLAWFUL TO "HAUL ON STREETS. “That If any such occupants desire to dispose of his or her garbage to one duly licensed by the city controller, he shall so notify the board of public works of said city and after such notification the provisions of this section shall not apply to such occupants as long as the person, firtn or corporation to whom he disposes of bis garbage i* duly licensed te take it as before provided or until he notifies the board of public works that he no longer wants said licensed collector to take such garbage.” During the twenty-five months the ordinance has been in force not one citizen firm or corporation has ever reported to the board of public works that he is having his garbage collected by a licensed collector, although the mayor would have the public believe that the private collectors have been doing a land oTfice bpslnels. Tbe ordinance is giftm sharp teeth in Section 9, which provides a lne penalty of not more than SIOO to which may be added imprisonment not exceeding thirty days for every violation of any provision of any section. Meanwhile the sanitary board has decided to write a letter about it.
