OATS ARE FEATURE OF EARLY TRADING Cheapness of Grain Places It on Bargain Counter, By t nited Financial CHICAGO. Dec. 11. —Oats showed Independent strength at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today and despite declines ln other grains was fractionally higher. Wheat met selling pressure, due to rerports from the Argentine that recent frosts did no damage and that favorable weather again prevails. Confirming this latest cable. Argentine prices showed a decline of Vi to I*4 j at the opening. Corn met selling when wheat turned weak and also due to heavy receipts. July, however, showed a slight upturn. Predictions that the record high price of this year would again be reached next summed when the shortage of supplies would be keenly felt, brought buyers into this delivery. Strength in oats was due to good local buying on account of the cheapness of the grain and a generally better cash demand. Despite heavier hog receipts and lower prices, provisions strengthened eaily with good fo-rian demand. Chicago Gi am Table ißv Thomson A McKinnon) Al 11:45—Dee. 11. WHEAT— Prev Upon. Hixh.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.—Negotiations for the consolidation of the Schulte Retail Stores Corporation and the United Cigar Stores Company of America, which have been under consideration for more than a year, have been brought to a successful conclusion. The tern;* of the transaction have been virtually agreed upon and the papers, which are now being drawn up by the lawyers for both parties, will be signed within a few days. It is understood the obstacles which have wrecked the p;an In the past have been finally overcome and unless a final hitch occurs, the merger will together two of the largest groups of retail cigar stores in the country. David A Schulte, president of Schulte Retail Stores Corporation, announced last Friday that he had completed negotiations for the formation of anew tobacco company and that details would be forthcoming this week. NEW YORK—J. W Harriman, president of the Harrimann National Bunk, declares that carrying out of the Mellon tax reduction program by Congress will depend entirely on ‘ pressure from home." He is optimistic as to the ultimate success of the measure, but savs that Congress, elected under conditions that do not exist now, will have to be pi shed by the man at home. Mr. Harriman had an opportunity to observe sentiment in Washington last week, when he attended the Gridiron Club dinner. In an Interview he said: "Tiie end of last week it looked like a spontaneous support for the President in his tax recommendation. A visit to Washington fulfills the view that there has to be pressure from home exerted to bring about the required results. All depends on the constituents. The facts are that a year ago we had a radical and depressed representation elected to Congress, representing condition which do not exist today, and if every citizen and taxpayer wou’d push his congressional representative he would get the results." Goshen Rate Increase Asking a fair return on its property, the Goshen Gas Company today filed a petition with the public service commission, asking for a rate increase on gas.

This is regarded as the world’s greatest fat stock show, there being over 10,000 animals on exhibit. The car-lot award Is considered the greatest honor of the show because it Is in car lots that farmers market their hogs. “I have been identified with the livestock business for fifty years and have seen millions of hogs, but I don’t believe I have ever seen many better cars of hogs than these grand champions of 1923.” These are the exa -t words of Charles A. Mallory, manager of the hog department of John Clay ft Cos. This year’s international saw a most wonderful hog show. The quality of the hogs was of the very finest land competition was extremely keen. |J. M. Ballard of Marion.

Altogether about 20,000 hogs were offered for sale and prices from the opening showed heavy losses. The market was rather spotted in early trading, some sales having shown a loss of as much as 20c, some traders said. The top for heavies was moved downward from $6.90 to $6 SO, while lights sold upward from though generally at $6.65. Mixed hogs sold from $6.70 to $6.75, according to weight and quality. The bulk of sales was made between $6.65 and $6.70. The drop in the general market, however, found no reflection In the rough and pig markets which were steady, pigs at $6.50 down and sows at $6.25 down The decline in prices. It was noted at the yards, did not change the price spread ot 15c as between the cost of lights and heavies. The stubbornness of pig prices In the face of declines also is attracting attention among buyers. No Improvement was noticeable ln : the cattle market, which has been under a shadow of better prices at other cemters for several weeks. Although a Wavy run of 1,500 head was ln the yards, little enthusiasm was manifest by buyers and trading was at barely steady to lower quotations. Unusually heavy receipts of 1.000 calves caused a sharp break of $1 ln veal prices, choice kinds selling at a top of $12.50 and the hulk from $11.50 to sl2. The sheep and lamb market was th,* most active of several weeks, due to fairly heavy receipts of westernfed lambs, which sold at $13.25 down while natives brought steady quotations at $12.50 down. Sheep also were steady at $6 down. Receipts, 700. —Hue* — Choice light* * 5 3.2 I.iirht mixed 2g;> !5Z2 Medium mixed ” IV "• ,!

STATE OUTLINES ITS DETENSE IN PHONE HEARING Four Points Basis for Attack Upon Granting of Permanent Injunction, The State’s case in the hearing on the telephone rate Injunction case before Judge William T. Page of Peoria, 111., in Federal Court was outlined by O. O. Shirley, attorney for the public service commission, in Federal Court today. The hearing is on a petition cf the Indiana Bell Telephone Company for a permanent injunction forbidding the ’commission from interfering with the establishment of a rate schedule higher than the one ordered by the com mission. A temporary injunction was granted recently by three Federal judges. Four grounds of attack on the company's* position were stated by Shirley. They were: 1. The valuation of the property of the company has been placed at too high a figure by the company. 2. The rate of depreciation should not be placed at more than 4 per cent. The figure given by the company wasi about 6 per cent. 3. Attacks will be made on the contract between the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which provides for payment of 4* 2 per cent of the revenues of the local company to the parent concern. 4. General extravagance ln the management of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company. These same charges were made, substantially, at the time of the temporary Injunction hearing. Particular attention will be devoted to questions of depreciation and the American Telephone and Telegraph ; Company contract, Shirley said. He I said the two compmiee virtually : were one as practically all the stock | in the Indiana concern is held by the ! parent company. The American Telegraph and Telephone Company lie cahrged, collected far more money ; than Its services justified. Judge Page and Shirley entered ! into a lengthy discussion on the conj tract. "It is not enough to show that the j contract did not show good business ! judgment.” Page said. “It must be : shown that fraud entered into it.” B. G. Halstead, appraisal engineer, ' completed his testimony as to valua- | tions of the company’s property. He I was followed by Fred C. Dickson, rice ; president of the Union Trust Com- | pany. and Thomas D. Sheerin, investi ment broker. j They testified that bonds of a prosI perous. well managed utility must I yield about 6 per cent to attract inj vestors. On cross examination they i submitted that securities of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company never had been offered for general sale. C. W. Romine, rate engineer for I the company, submitted estimates of increased earnings of the company under carious rate schedules.
