THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FUTURES MART MOVES UP ON GOOD DEMAND Farm Board Announcement Stimulating Factor to Traders. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Stall Correspondent CHICAGO, March 25.—Wheat sco~:J a major fractional advance on the Board of Trade today with the Oid crop months moving out of their rut for the first time in weeks. The late announcement of the farm board. Tuesday, was the prime factor in stimulating buying. Liverpool was firmer with a good demand for Canadian wheat and on the reassurance of the farm board action. Corn went up sharply with wheat. Oats were rather quiet, but firm with major grains. At the opening old wheat was U to ft cent higher, new wheat was % to % cent higher, corn was ft to % cent higher and oats were ft to % cent up. Provisions were slow, but firm. Liverpool Higher Liverpool was higher than expected today, advancing to ft to % cent up by mid-afternoon. Buenos Aires was ft cent higher during the morning. The trade is much enthused over the increased volume of transactions since the farm board announced its policy in respect to the 1931 crop. The volume has become so large that wheat will resume trading in its regular pit next Monday. Corn has been occupying the major pit for the last month or so because of the heavy trade. The action of the farm board late Tuesday in fixing a minimum price for cash wheat until June 1, was bullish and assures that there will be no hasty dumping. Wheat statistics are bearish but selling is checked by the late developments and the fact that the crop scare period is just ahead. Spreads Are Closed Closing of spreads between wheat and corn, the latter being sold, constitutes the bulk of trade in the corn pit and has a depressing effect on corn. The yellow grain is showing good strength but many traders feel that it is relatively too high compared to the deferred wheat prices. Transactions in oats have decreased with the enlarged activity of wheat and corn. The market is following them but the cash demand has been having its effect, too.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which* appeared in Tuesday’s Times: The Never Smiling Man —The never-smiling Hindu of Allabahad is the head of a sect of Hindu ascetics bound by vows to eschew emotions of a joyous or pleasant nature. They sleep, eat and speak as little as possible, but there is particular emphasis on the prohibition on smiling. The head of the sect, whose picture I found in Captain Egon de Neveu’s “Etude sur la Secte, etc., holds a record of unbroken nonsmiling for sixty-four years. This is one of the most startling innovations on the old Hindu art of mortifying the body for religion's sake. If All United States Autos Were Five-Passenger Ones, Our Entire Population Could Ride —According to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce there are approximately 26,000,000 passenger cars in the United States at present. If every automobile could carry five passengers, our entire United States population of 123,000,000 could go riding at the. same time. Thursday; The Greatest Girl Basketball Player.

DRY WARRANT FAULTY, CITY COUPLE FREED Blind Tiger Charges Are Dropped in Municipal Court. Charges of operating a blind tiger against Mrs. Doris Campbell and Ben Fox were dismissed Tuesday afternoon in municipal court by Special Judge Ralph Spann when it was revealed a warrant used in the raid was faulty. Police were seeking Thomas Campbell on another charge when they entered the house, they said. The warrant called for an address at 40 West Twelfth street, whereas the persons arrested reside at 36 West Thirteenth street. When police entered the residence they said they found 700 quarts of home brew. Attorneys for the couple moved suppression of evidence because of the faulty warranty and Spahn upheld the motion. Thu state then dismissed the case.

DENY COMPANY U. SJECEIVER Knox Consolidated Bondholders Lose Plea. Appointment of a federal receiver in bankruptcy so rthe Knox Consolidated Coal Company, recently adjudged a bankrupt, today was denied by Carl Wilde, referee in bankruptcy. Evidence on the petition, filed by Harry R. McClellan, a bond holder, who sought to have a' federal receiver named to conserve the property, pending selection of a bankruptcy trustee earl yin April at the first creditors’ meeting, was heard by Wilde Tuesday. Attorneys for Martin E. Lowish, named state court receiver last week by Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams after Edwin D. Logsdon, president of the company, was deposed, agreed that Lowish would not attempt to collect any fees pending naming of a trustee and would not dispose of any of the company’s property, Wilde said, obviating need for a federal receiver to take over the property. Holders of $2,00,000 of the company’s $3,500,000 outstanding bonds favored the federal receivership and asked that Logsdon be appointed. Filing of the bankruptcy petition by Logsdon was seen as retalition for his being ousted as receiver.

STOCK SHARES MAKE GAINS IN UNEVEN TRADE Auburn Auto Again Feature of Session With New High at 251. Average Stock Prices j Average of thirty industrials for Tuesday was 186.86, up 1.68. Average of twentv rails was 101.53. up 1.29. Average of twenty utilities was 72.37. up .51. Average of forty bonds was 96.34, up .05. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, March 25.—Stocks made further irregular upward progress today in the face of renewed weakness in a few Individual shares. Considerable early unsettlement was created by bad breaks in National Cash, Columbia Carbon, Armour of Delaware preferred and Armour of Illinois preferred, the former three selling off sharply on prospective adverse dividend action Weakness in these shares exerted a bearish influence on other sections of the list. Small early losses were suffered by United States Steel, Westinghouse Electric, American Can and General Motors. Selling dried up around 11 a. m„ however, and early losses were quickly substituted with small gains. Oil Issues Higher Prominent in the late morning upswing were the Houston Oil issues, Westinghouse Electric, McKeesport Tin Plate and New York Central, the latter getting above the 114-level compared with its recent low of 108 ft. Other rails moved up moderately. As was the case in the preceding session, most attention was centered on the gyrations of Auburn Auto. After opening fractionally lower at 239 ft, Auburn spurted to a further new high for the year at I 251, a gain of 11 points. Subse- | quently it lost nearly half of this gain and held steady around the 248-level at noon. Trade Is Quiet Other motors were not stimulated by the further advance in Auburn, 1 although shares of Auburn’s affiliate, Cord Corporation, which are listed on both the New York Curb Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange, moved up fractionally to anew high for the year. Trading during the first two ; hours was relatively quiet, falling j below the corresponding period of I Tuesday. The late morning gains were well maintained around noon but no further efforts were made to bid up prices in the face of prevailing mixed sentiment in brokerage house circles.
