INDIANAPOLIS FIFTH IN CORN MARKET, REPORT Board of Trade Survey Shows Gain of 95,000,000 Bu. Over 1925. That Indianapolis held Its own as a distributing center of wheat, com and oats during 1925, is disclosed by a survey of Indianapolis Board of Trade. Decrease was registered In wheat and oata and an increase in corn receipts. The survey shows Indianapolis stands ninth among the primary markets of the Nation in handling wheat; fifth in com, and eighth in oats. Receipts of wheat were 4,715,000 bushels, a decrease of 303,000 bushels over the preceding year. The ■wheat yield of Indiana for 1925 was ‘28,208,000 bushels, as compared with 31,437,000 for 1924. Corn receipts for this year were 18,300,000 bushels, nearly 300,000 id excess of the previous year. The only centers that ranked above InI dianapolis in handling corn were I Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City. India napofis market in Korn is an intensive one, because of ■he small area it has to draw upon. I)maha and Kansas City, two markets known for their com activiHies, draw from far wider territories ■Than Indianapolis, yet sire not compelled to meet the intensive competition borne hy the Indianapolis market. Production of com in Indiana for 1925 is estimated at 212,236,000 bushels, or 95,000,000 mor) than the previous year. Decrease In Oats Oats receipts in the Indianapolis market for 1925 were 9,278,000 bushels. Total production of oats in Indiana for the same year was 59,864,000 bushels, as compared with 70,034,000 for the previous year. •Pessimists who insist that the country is going to the "bow-wows” and that the leaders in the world of business care for nothing except the marathon for the “almighty dollar” may profitably learn something from the records in the Indianapolis Board of Trade. They will find an

organization proud of its business record, especially pertaining to grain. Even a superficial investigation of its activities reveals a creditable participation in movement designed to promote a high plane of community development. Dealers Become Leaders Although grain receipts during the last ten years have shown an enormous increase, the grain dealers have found time to become leaders in many enterprises, with the resullt that they can now look back with assurance that they played an important part in helping make Indianapolis one of the most prosperous cities in the Middle West. "Serve the City of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana, as well as members” has been the broadminded motto of the organization. Business and hard work for the public good have been so closely Intermingled that an account of the board’s activities Is not complete without mention of the board's successful efforts In making Indianapolis the greatest inland city In America. Membership in the board is drawn from all classes of business and professional men, and much of the work Is done by committees selected from the members who are best adapted to the program undertaken. A governing body consisting of forty-three members, including the president, vice president apd treasurer, forms the direct basis of control. Since 1882, when the Board of Trade was organized, it has proved to be a well oiled, frictionless machine, working for better business conditions and public good. Banta Makes Study The survey, backed by facts gathered by L. E. Banta, traffic manager, ■hows that the rate situation, with respect to grain and the products thereof, east of the Mississippi River has remained fairly constant, with no serious upheavals, threatened or real. Many reductions were secured from which the Indianapolis market benefited, most of them being a voluntary meeting of Its needs. Three formal complaints were filed because complexity of the Issues involved required an opinion of the commission. “The present Congress,” says Banta’s report, “will doubtless deal with certain matters pertaining to transportation generally, and In which the public should evidence an interest. “We have found that the carriers In Central Freight Association ter-

ritory have lent an atttentive and sympathetic ear to our suggestions, and this attitude is general, I am sure, to adjustments of merit. “The only general inquiry affecting our industries is Docket 17,000, dealing with farm products In the West. A number of our proposals are in the process of settlement before the Central Rate Committees, and we are sure that action consistent with our needs may be safely expected. On the whole, we are highly satisfied with service in both traffic and operating departments.” The officers of the Board of Trade are: Brodehurst Elsey, president; Linton A. Cox, vice president; Tom Oddy, treasurer, and Wi'liam H. Howard, secretary. no more RHEUMATISM IT’S GONE! That awful agony! Rheumatism can’t stand the rich, red blood that S. S.
