(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 9 We have had another dull session In the stock market. During the first hour there was practically no commission house business to speak of, with the exi ception of some liquidation in Pennsylvania Railroad. The professional ele- ; ment. who have, tn the past, taken ad- ; vantage of the absence of commission i house business, apparently were not disI posed to do much. Later in the session there was a modj crate amount of liquidation, as well as professional selling of Northern Pacific and Great Northern. The industrials as a rule were steady, and subsequently there was an improvement In a number of active Issues. Considering prevailing conditions here and the serious state or affairs in England. the stock market is displaying remarkable stability and can only be exp'ained on the theory that because con- ' dltlons are so very serious, that any I change over the weekend is likely to be j for the better. I It is just likely that In the near fu- | ture the market operations wtP disclose ! a few more weak spots during \\*ich time liquidation will be completed, and then the market will simply rest on its present foundation until the changes have occurred in foreign affairs and in busi- ! ness to warrant greater activity and an increase in the Investment demand for our securities.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK. April o.—The Sun’s financial review today said: •‘Today’s short session of the stock market had very little of interest to offer and pursued a placid course to the closing, the surface being unruffled by spectacular bubbles In the form of bear raids or sudden boosting of this or that issue. “Although price changes were of the narrowest in the first hour, there was a tendency toward heaviness, which was mildly progressive through the session. “Thero were no signs of selling pressure ; the repression, slight as it was, was sufficiently accounted for by virtually complete neglect. Indeed, so far as Initiative or volume of transactions were to be regarded as of Importance, the stock exchange might Just as well hav6 been closed. "Toward the closing much better tone developed, bringing about substantial no* fains in some issues, such as Crucible teel, Mexican Petroleum, Asphalt, Studebaker and Atlantic Gulf. "The list, as a whole, continued in it* narrow course. Trading remained dull to a degree and devoid or significance. “Cotton and grain prices were steady to firm.” N. Y. Stock Prices —April 9 Prev.

/ Crop Report The condition of winter wheat in Indiana shows an increase of 30 points over the April 1 condition of 1920 and rye shows a gain of 12 points, while breeding sows show a decline of 10 per cent for the same period, according to the report vt the cooperating crop reporting service of Indiana, issued today. The farm labor supply is greater than the dernnnd, because or cnanged methods of farming, low prices for farm products and improved machinery for facilitating work. ’the report follow*: The condition of winter wheat April l. was “9 per cent of normal and indicates a totnl production of approximately 32,600,000 bushels for the State. Last year, tho condition was 59 per cent of normal and the ten-year average was 83 per cent. There was 1,953.000 acres seeded last fall, some of which has already been abandoned, or seeded to oats or other crops, but this is not extensive and present Indications of abandonment loss seem to be Very small. The weather has been very favorable and late sown wheat has made a wonderful improvement over the December condition. The early sown however, was badly damaged by llesaian fly and at this time Is In rather poor condition. Chinch bugs and Joint worms also are working in the early crop. Some dam age 1s reported from high water, but Is not extensive. Rye shows a somewhat better condition than wheat, being 92 per cent of normal, compared with 80 per cont of a year ago and 8S per cent for the tenyear average. A slight increase in acreage was shown last fall, the total i approximating 335,000 acres, practically all of which will he harvested. The total Indicated production at this time is , slightly In excess of 5,000,(M> bushels for the State. Tho number of breeding sows have de- j creased 10 per cent compared with year ago. It is estimated that there are 488,700 In the .State at this time. The demand for good sows is Increasing, and, with a fairly steady market. It looks as though the number should begin to increase slightly and with a better grade of stock. Many 0/ the poorer grade were fattened and sold for meat pur poses during the winter. Spring Utters ; seem to lie somewhat larger than usual and the pigs are strong and healthy. The farm labor supply In the StHte has reached nearly normal stage again, being 14 per cent greater than a year ago. The demand, however. Is not as great ns in former years. Many farmers huvo changed their methods of farming, by which means they can do a great deal more of their work. Improved- farm machinery has had considerable Influence on the labor demand and supply and the low prices farmers are receiving for their products also has a tendency to keep hired labor ait the lowest possible point. The per cent of supply this year Is 114 compared with a year ago and the demand is only 85 per cent compared with last year.

GRAINS REGISTER FAIR GAINS May Wheat Under Pressure —Provisions Up. CHICAGO, April 9.—A1l grains registered fair gains for the day except May wheat, which was under pressure from spreaders who were buying the July against It. Forecasts for freezing weather over the grain belt stirred up some apprehension of possible damage to crops and led to Improved support. Provisions ruled higher. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 9 Wheat—Freezing temperatures over a goodly portion of the wheat belt have strengthened the July delivery, but have not brought any important buying. Foreign demand for old wheat was again re ported from the seaboard, but volumes of business closed was small. There were persistent rumors, both from the seaboard and from tne southwest., of offers to re-sell, by exporters. Southern hemisphere wheat is quoted slightly cheaper than United States varieties. Receipts of cash wheat In southwestern markets are quite liberal, while the demand is slow. Premiums In this market were unchanged for red wheat and about 1 cent lower on the hard winter, two red selling at 6c over May, 2 hard at 7c to 9c over. The market ignores minor items of news, the trade being more willing to give thought to the industrial situation, particularly that now in evidence iu England. This one condition overshadows everything else and is responsible for a practically complete disap pea ranee of Investment demand or provision for the future. It will be nsces 6ary for a settlement of the trouble abroad, or the appearance of some very radical crop news, to revive the confidence of those who believe that the surplus of old wheat In this country will be well exhausted. Corn and Oats—Receipts of both corn and oats from the country are so small as to necessitate a somewhat better basis j for the bids going to the country or purchases to arrive. This strengthening of the cash position Is not folowed by enlargement of the distributing demand, it stems to be ruther generally accepted that prices are below a reproduction, as well as a production basis, but at the same time, this does not result In any demand with the Idea of higher prices In the future. Both of these markets are neglected. Provisions—The strength In provisions and hogs today is considered a natural reaction. The entire market is dominated by the pessimistic feeling prevailing in grains.

SEEK DRAINING OF OLD LAKE Whitley County Pond Affects Highway, Is Claim. Claiming thnt an extensively traveled highway between Aetna and Troy Townships in Whitley County will be Inaccessible to use all season unless Old Lake, a fifty-nine-acre body of water In Whitley County, is drained, the board of commissioners of that county has petitioned the State department of conservation for permission to drain the lake. Charles G. Sauers, assistant to the director of the conservation department, and an engineer, are in Columbus City today to Investigate and recommend the future course to be taken. According to the Whitley County commissioners, the present lake level endangers the highway, which at certain seasons of the year is impassable owing to Inundation by overflow. The road was built recently at considerable cost and will not be of all-year utility if conditions are not changed, they assert. Several citizens of Whitley County have taken a different view of the situation and. being opposed to the draining of this beautiful lake, assert the road situation can be clarified without destroying that water body. According to letters from individuals who oppose interferring with the Old Lake, the highway in question should never have been laid out on its present route. At a certain point it lies Just three-quarters of a mile from the lake, across a sink or swamp section, and the surplus water and moisture occasioned by close proximity to the lake can be alleviated by tile ditching. The assertion is further made by some communicants that land owners contiguous to the lake are the prime movers for wishing to drain the lake, hoping to profit through the development of low lands in that section. Department of conservation officials said today they would take an impartial attitude in conducting this investigation. They pointed out that in the past Indiana has been neglecteful of its water resources and that if conidtions warrant every effort will be made to save this lake in view of the fact that the time is not distant when the State will need all its available water resources.
