HOG PRICES DROP AS RECEIPTS GAIN

BEARS CHECK > RISING TREND IN SECURITIES Market, However, Shows Little Weakness as Buying Continues.

Average Stock Prices

Averare price of twenty industrial etocks Wednesday wa9 130.41. off .01. Average price of twenty rails was 98.80, off .01. Bv United Press NEW YORK, June 4.—The bears sent out he usual tip to sell and that certain pivotal stocks would be und'r fire. A combination of heat, absence of traders and general uninterest was all in the bears favor and prices were subjected to sharp drives soon after opening. There was no sign at any time of real weakness however, and both pools and individuals were buyers on the breaks. aßilroads picked up with the others, being very well bought, Lehigh Valley seling at anew high and steady buying in Reading steadied that issue. The St. Paul Bksues were sold. Wr It was evident that the bears were taking advantage of more prosperous bulls, many of whom were in less torrid spots than Wall Street, to hammer the market. The recently strong specialties were no exception and some issues faded away rather startlingly. International Paper broke to 70 rapidly and American Chemical broke to 51 on a few sales against its recent high of 67. Probably the request of some offers for higher fertilizer rates annoped the bulls in this issue for higher freight rates have been a cause of complaint on the part of both manufacturers and consumers. Motor stocks held well, but were sold nevertheless. Remington Typewriter sold at 70%, in response to the good earnings prospects. It was entirely natural that Wool should decline, which it did to 36%, and that t-.e should advance to 112 Vi, a new h.'gh on the present advance. Steel continued to hold at 114%. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Thursday were $3,160,000. Bank debits amounted to $5,837,000.

Trade Reviews Say

In the textile industries silk maintains a strong state of activity, while cotton goods are still on an unsatisfactory basis. The promise of anlarge cotton crop and the Brownward tendency of prices makes buyers wary of taking more goods than they need for day to day trade and manufacturers equally indisposed to manufacture for stock. Production was high in April, consunmption reaching bales, a monthly record seldom equalled. That it should be so high when so many mills are known to be running on part time, gives support to the view now commonly expressed that the cotton goods industry is over developed, giving much capacity for the amount of cotton, and tor the consumption demand at present prices. If the mills run anywhere near full the competition for cotton is such as to carry the price above the level at which the public will take the goods. The price of wool is firmer, and the feeling seems to be that the decline has gone as far as conditions Justify.

CLOSING GRAINS SCORE SHARPLY Wheat Features July at New High. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Jne 4.—A1l grain futures closed at sharply higher levels on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat featured. July going into new high ground on the movement. Strong buying was steady in wheat all day, based mainly on belief that the American markets are now on a domestic basis. Only one or two set backs developed on profit taking but offers were steadily absorbed by commission houses. Crop news was pessemistic. Buying corn was based on hot winds over the belt. Very little pressure was brought into the pit at any time. ' Oats were higher with other grains. ■ Provisions finished higher. Realizing sales were offset by liberal short covering. Big packers were heavy sellers.

EARTHQUAKES ONCE VISITED THIS SECTION State Geologist Says Last Serious Disturbance Was in 1812. Although Indiana at the present time apparently enjoys an immunity from disastrous earthquake shocks, such has not always been the case, according to Dr. W. N. Logan, State geologist. The last earthquake which caused serious disturbances within the Mississippi Valley was in 1811-12, Dr. Logan said. During this period of disturbance, known as the New Madrid earthquake, between Dec. 16. 1811. and March 16. 1812, there were 1.874 recorded shocks. Records show that a large area of bottom- land was depresssed and markers on land boundaries were shifted, making necessary a resurvey of the land. Bodies of water were formed depressions. Movement Center The real center of earthquake movements in Indiana during the past geological time is found along the line of Mt. Carmel, fault extending from the southern part of Washington County northward into Jackson County, passing through the northeastern part of Lawrence County and through the eastern part of Monroe County. Evidences of the fault across Morgan County are not conclusive, although It is probable it extends northward and passes into a cyncllne, which crosses into the central part of Cass County. To the south of Washington County Indications of an eastern dip of rocks furnish ground for the belief that the fault continues southward, or that it passes into a cyncllne in Harrison County. No Breaks There are two breaks in the strata present in Law-rence County. The minor of these, Dr. Logan said, la the Heltonville fault and lies a little east of that town. The Mt. Carmel fault is about a mile east of the former and parallel with it. Dr. Logan described a fault as a displacement of the strata of the earth's crust. The displacement may be vertical or horizontal. When the crust of the earth is compressed laterally, horizontal faulting may take place and faults of the “thrust" type may be found. If the earth is stretched by upward movements of masses of rocks or by sinkin gos rocks in adjoining areas, vertical faults may be formed. Fault lines in southern Indiana belong to the Mississtppian period of geological time. It is not likely that the total displacement took place at one time, but there were a series of slipplngs of the rocks each resulting in earthquakes. Measured in years it may have taken centuries to effect the total displacement which indications show are to a depth of 200 feet.

Have Water Reserve There has been no rain in Indianapolis since May 24, when .18 inch fell. The State is equally parched. Indianapolis Water Company officials say they have enough of a reserve to last for awhile, yet they admit that rain would be welcome. White River is about a foot below normal. Farmers and truck growers, whose crops withstood earlier frost ravages, face a more serious plight in the present drought. It was Bald today a*, the office of Frank Wallace, State entomologist. Exact damage that will be caused by the present dry spell Is difficult to predict, but It is safe to say the losses will multiply with each successive rainless day. Corn is In fair shape. Prospects for an even fair oats crop are rapidly fading; clover is beginning to suffer and pastures are withering. Gardeners Suffer Truck gardeners experienced their first blow In the recent May frost and their worst in current drought, owing to the fact that replanted seeds refuse to sprout. Berry growera also have been hard hit in recent days. Threatened sprinkling of city golf links, because of the drought, failed to begin last night at South Grove, as announced. Harry Schopp, professional in charge of the course ridiculed the Idea. "Imagine pouring enough water on 150 acres of burntup grass to revive It! Why It would take an inch of rain to help the graos,” he said. Water shortage la bothering the Prest-O-Llte Company, according to E. A. Olds, general superintendent.

Serious Man to Phone Girl "My serious man Is gone now,” Mrs. Harriett Keefauver, telephony operator at the Union Station said today as funeral service* were held for Thomas R. Marshall.

"And. he never passed a pin on the ground without picking it up. I suppose that was his (one superstition.”
