GRAIN TRADE IS CONFUSED Weak Foreign Marts Create Doubt. Bit United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—The grain trade was confused at opening of business on the Chicago Board’ of Trade today. Persistent weakness in foreign markets and continued free flow of Southern Hemisphere grain to Europe created doubt as to the fate of the domestic wheat market. Half hearted support checked the opening— slump after fractional recessions. Coarse grains dropped with the major cereal. A decline of 1 to 1% cents in Liverpool on increased from Ar|S(turday was responsible for initial in wheat. Partial support came from bulls still confident of their position. The visible supply today is expected to decrease while an increase is expected in world shipments. Corn's initial decline was checked by bids. Support was less active and offerings were heavier.

Across the Desk With Busy Men Harvester Exchange Plan Boosts Corn, Say Official.

By Rader Winget

SHE plan of the International Harvester Company to exchange com at $1 a bushel for farm implements has boosted com value, according to R. C. Foster, assistant manager of the International Harvester branch here. TJae company offers to sell any farm tool to the farmer and extend credit for the full amount? The farmer agrees to pay during May, June or July, on a date thirty days after the company calls for a settlement. The media of payment being number two yellow com, valued at $1 a bushel. If the market price of the product is more than $1 the farmer may pay in cash. The result of the companies' offer has been to stimulate the business in farm tools and to buoy the market. Since the offer was made public, corn at Chicago has gone up 11 cents a bushel. At the present time number two yellow com is selling at about 89 cents a bushel at Chicago. F I OSTER agreed that many other factors might have entered into the general price increase, but said the companies offer undoubtedly has - had some effort on the trend. The first impulse of the farmer was to hold his corn until late in the season and then cash in on the offer. Many other farmers bought com immediately and stored It so that they might exchange it in May for farm implements. This brought into play the law of “supply and demand.” One faction wanted to buy and another faction desired to hold. This has created a shortage and the pried was consequently inflated, said Foster. The problem of grading corn a$ the # elevator will be worked out later, officials of the company say. Ordinarily the elevator buys corn and ships the entire lot to Chicago to be graded, but under the exchange plan all of the corn will have to be graded separately in order to determine Its value. B BUILDING and engineering contracts awarded in Indiana during 1925, amounted to $135,684,400, according to F. W. Dodge Corporation. This was 49 per cent greater than 1924 and set a record for volume. ' The amounts were divided as follow's: Residential buildings, 27 per cent: for public works, 26 per cent; industrial buildings, 15 per cent; commercial buildings, 12 per cent; educational, buildings, 9 per cent; social and recreational buildings, 5 per cent. Contemplated new work reported for Indiana during the past year was 32 per cent in excess of the work actually started. The normal excess is 50 per cent. Indicating a slackened building demand.
