LUMBER TRADE EXPECTS UPWARD REACTION SOON Retailers Rsßj>ort Storks Reduced to Lowest Point. No reportable change has occurred in the lumber market during the last week, demand remaining depressed and price unimproved, says the American Lumberman, Chicago. The poir t has apparently been reached where an upward reaction can be expected, and the industry is taking a more cheerful view of the immediate future. While retail dealers admit that stocks have become reduced to a minimum and that restocking would he desirable, they are still extremely cautious in all their buying transactions. The transportation situation favors them in this policy, as they find it possible to sell a bill of material, order the lumber and receive shipment on it in ample time to deliver it when needed. The stock situation at the mills is only fair, however, and should there be a moderate increase in demand It would become impossible to give all orders the persent prompt attention. Industrial demand is spotty, factory buyers also making hand-to-mouth buying their policy, especially at this time when the general business outlook is rather obscured.

Market Review Hogs From a high, Monday, of $7.65, hog prices at the Indianapolis stockyards declined to a low for the year of $7.05, in the week’s trade. Urged on by heavy receipts, lower outside markets and slackening of buying interest, the low mark of the year was reached Thursday. Friday saw prices advatjee to 7.30 on lighter receipts and, a pick-up in activity. Prices this time last year were slowly recovering from a slump to $6.85, the result of the same bearish influences. Cal tie The cattle market for the week has held fairly steady, with only slight variations, first in the buyer’s favor and then in the'- salesman's. Good steers have been moving generally at $lO, $10.25 and $10.50. Good cows have held fairly steady at $6 and $7. Good heifers have been quoted at $9.50. Receipts have been about normal for this time of year. Calves Calf trading started Monday with choice veals bringing $1.50. On Tuesday heavy shipping orders raised the market a half. Still further outside interest, coupled with local demand, caused another half increase Wednesday. The rest of the week's trading was made at that price. Receipts have, been normal and demand slightly above normal. The market has been exceptionally strong. Sheep and Lambs lamb trading has in- | creased smartly In activity during the week. Larger receipts and buying support has characterized the market generally. The annual readjustment of classes took place on Thursday. Only two classes will be recognized, the sheep and the lamb. Demand is greatly lr. favor of lambs. Prices started at sl6 Monday and dropped a half on two days, making the finish of the week at sls. Old stuff held steady at $4.40.

GRAND WHITS CARE OF INSANE (Continued From Page 1) the lasting censure- of every citizen of Marion County.” Judge Collins, commenting upon the report, said to the jurors: ‘'The trouble with Julietta is that the county is maintaining a State institution for the Insane. It is the duty of the State to take care of the insane and not the county. The thing has grown beyond its original intention. Thirty years ago Julietta was founded ns a place for the temporary poor insane.” "The next Legislature should remedy the matter.” The city board of health an flounced several months ego Its intention to provide a psy<- ‘orathic ward for temporary care ot nsane persons awaiting committment to ininstitutions, cr awaiung inqueste, •v Maintenance Provided After conferences between city and county officials, coun’y council appropriated ?2 ft .ooo for maintenance of persons held in the psychopathic ward. Sol Schloss, president city board of health, said the grand jury apparently bad not taken into account preparations for a psychopathic ward at city hospital. Immediately after the county council appropriated money for maintenance of the ward the board of health included provision for establishment of the ward in the general improvement plan for the hospital, Schloss said. The ward was not rushed through separately because it was considered cheaper to have it done in the general contract, he said. City council authorized a S2SD,000 bond issue for the general program, which includes, besides the ward, two more floors on the nurses home, corridor connecting nurses home and administration building with Burdsall unit, remodeling and repair of some wards and other features, about a month ago Bonds were sold Thursday. Fchloss said the board Ins.rioted architects to prepare plans immediately after the council authorization and these will he ready in about three weeks. At that time bids will be advertised for. The health head said he expects to psychopathic ward, with room for twenty-three patients, to be ready for use by Nov. 1, since contractor will be asked to push it ahead of other features of the program. Cover Money Available County aouHcil May 27 appropriated money for purchase of covers for the radiators and pipes at Julietta upon request of county commissioners. Reporting upon its visit to the county infirmary the jury suggests: ‘‘There is a very decided need for hospital facilities, and with the completion and occupation of thi new men's building it would be a simple matter to arrange sot; such facilities. At tile present time two and three trips a week are made with patients to tho city hospital. "The boiler tyalls of the power house were found in a very bad and really dangerous condition. It should be rebuilt at once. “Up to the present time the walls of the new building remain without any finish and we understand no arrangements have been made for any painting or plasterig, and it would seem to us that common sense alone

would dictate at least the painting of these walls. ‘‘With the occupation of the new building the jury urgently recommends practically the complete abandonment of the old building, except, perhaps, for two or three rooms on the first floor to be psed only no occasions of emergency.” The infirmary long has been a bone of contention. Parts of the old building rvere condemned by the State fire marshal more than a year ago. The new men’s building, recently completed at cost of $130,000 is being investigated by State board of accounts upon complaint of the county council and twenty-five widely known taxpayers. County council in a letter to State accountants recommended that the new poor farm building be torn down and rebuilt because of alleged faulty construction. In reports to Circuit Court and county commissioners the Marion County board of charities and corrections several months ago severely criticised construction of the poor farn/ as faulty and said the whole ■looked “more like a cow barn than a place for human habitation.” Mortar Crumbles A Times reporter found cracks in the walls and floor at the infirmary and was able to pull a brick from one of the walls by digging out mortar tvith an ordinary house key, the mortar crumbling to dust., ’ This building was accepted two weeks ago from the contractor George A. Weaver & Son in tha face of the various reports and criticisms. County Auditor Harry Dunn refused to pay the balance of $12,421.30 owing the contractor, saying he would await outcome of t£e State investigation at the inifirmary. Weaver, Wednesday, filed petition for mandate to compel Dunn to pay him. At Julietta a Times reporter and photographer verified reports that the second floor ceiling of the new men’s building completed last year at cost of $138,000 by Weaver & Son, sagged from one to six inches in places. County councllmen in their letter to the State accountants said the building is apt to collapse on inmates. The contractor contends this is untrue. County commissioners have appointed a board of arbitrators to fi-s the contractor's liability at Julietta, if any. State accuntants also inquired into the Julietta situation. “Where have the grand jurors been in the last few months?” asked Commissioner John McCloskey. “Doesn't the jury know of the steps taken for the psychopathic ward ard to screen tho radiators at Julietta?"

Steps Taken Commissioners srtid that they had done everything in their power to remedy the insane situation at the jail and exp - * -ted the matter would he entirely cleared up in a few months. They said they were fully aware that patients had been burned at Julietta and that was why they had obtained the appropriation for radiator screens from county council. The commissioners disagreed with the grand jury upon the solitary confinement cells. They said they believed the cells were satisfactory, since they are padded and art* used only on rare occasions when inmates get beyond control of attendants. They said they desired to paint the walls of the men's building at the infirmary but council has refused appropriation for it. They agreed that the old infirmary building should he wrecked and said this has been the plan all along.
