THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

UNEVEN TREND IS FEATURE OF GRAIN (FUTURES Higher Cables and Export Demand Aid All Options. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Preas Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 28. Wheat opened unsteadily on the Board of Trade today, with scattered buying and selling on overnight orders. The stock market was firm and Liverpool cables were strong, reporting a scarcity of ntfarby offers of cash wheat as responsible for the advance. However, trading was light at the start and the market was easily influenced. Corn was firm, as was oats, while rye was steady. Confidence Is Shown $ At the opening wheat was *4 cent lower to V* cent higher, corn was *4 cent higher, oats was ® cent higher and rye was unchanged. Provisions were steady. Liverpool was higher than due, advancing *4 cent to % cent by mid-afternobn. More confidence in the wheat market was show this morning than for some time past, due to the- failure of the market to penetrate to new low levels Thursday and on the fact that moderate buying was sufficient to advance prices. Export busfhess in large volume is the chief supporting influence. In two days Canada has sold around 4,000.000 bushels. Until after the election, however, a trading market is looked for. Export Demand Good New cash corn in some sections of the west is reported to be paying the producer absolutely nothing after paying all charges. Export demand continues fairly large and cash prices have been advancing steadily. The cash demand is the chief supporting factor in the oats pit. Nearly ninety thousand bushels were sold Thursday, a considerable improvement. Chicago Primary Receipts —Oct. 27Wheat 786.000 Corn •. 488,000 Oats 120,000 Futures Range WHEAT— Prev. High.

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

Following is the explanation of Ripley's “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Thursday’s Times: Better Speed Against the Wind —Paradoxical as it may seem, a huge ocean liner actually makes faster speed heading into a strong wind than if the wind is with the vessel, because of the “slippage” of the waves. When the wind is with the ship, the crests of the waves fall forward and the body of the waves slip back, with a tendency to drag the ship with them. But when the wind is against the vessel the wave crests fall forward into the bow of the ship, the body of the waves recedes in the direction in which the ship is traveling, increasing its speed. With the speed of the motors constant, the “slipping” overcomes the increased wind resistance: A Geographical Paradox— Gibson Station, a little settlement in the extreme southwest corner of Virginia, actually is closer to the capitals of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee than it is to Richmond, the capital of its own state.

WEEKLY INDIANAPOLIS LIVESTOCK REVIEW

FOR WEEK ENDING THURSDAY, OCT. TANARUS, By U. S. Dept, of Agriculture HOGS Local marketings were slightly above last week volume but hardly enougn to account lor the seemingly sharp aownturn in prices. This movement was not confined to local circles but reflected a general weakness and price revision in the aggregate. This is not unusual, m fact is seasonal, and was expected by ail close observers, w'ho profess familiarity with seasonal movements. Following a period, which also is seasonal. when shippers provide the chief outlet for local supplies, packers stepped to the front this week and took more than half of the available supply. Probably it should be stated that if packer support had been withheld more severe price alterations would have been required to clear the daily supplies. For the week, good and choice 120 to 325-pound averages lost 30 to 35c with underweights a big quarter off. Top price was usually paid for 120 to 180-pound selections. but choice butchers scaling xrom 220 to 260 pounds usually commanded a premium of 5c or more above the prevailing schedule. Packing sows followed the general downturn to the extent of 25 to 40c for the period. From a practical top of 53.65 the peak price slipped to a top of 53.35 today, with practically all weights within a rangp of $3.204x 3.35. Packing sows closed at $2.2i @2.85. mostly [email protected]. compared with 52.75@ 3.25 a week .ago. when a few light - weights sold up to 53.404i3.50. almost equal to weighty butchers. CATTLE Caution and deliberation featured the week's activities in the cattle division. Salesmen and producers who expected a substantial reaction from recent low levels were disappointed. Likewise, the buying side who apparently expected a continuation of declining values were a little surprised at the resistance to further efforts to break the live market. Obviously, the outlet for dressed meats was hampered and •it was only in self protection that lower prices were reauested. In football terminology gains from line of scrimmage were about equally divided. On some days buyers had a little the best of the deal and on others the condition was reversed. The net result was a series of give and take markets, closing with little net change for the week, except for some irregularities in valuation. Steer supplies consisted largely of medium weights, lightweights and yearlings with the latter in the majority. Strictly choice long fed kinds were not available but a consignment of sixty head averaging 1.230 pounds closely approached that condition. and went to the scales at *8 80. Best lightweights cashed from $7,604x8 with heavies scaling 1.420 pounds at $7.60. Bulk of the weeks supply cleared from $6 254x7.50; medium killers, $4,504x6; common $34x4.50, Shippers as usual were more interested in the better conditioned offerings while packers filled out their lines with a reasonable number of lower priced cattle. Good and choice heifers developed some strength with a slight price upturn at *he close, largely on account of scarcity. A few small lots sold from $6 254x7. but most of the offering cashed from $3.50b 5.50. with the most inferior kinds down to $2.50. Cows changed little if any. With all cows selling under $3.50 there was little chance for radical pr.ee changes. Most of the beef cows cleared from $3 404x3 50. low cutters and cutters. [email protected], usually $1.25@ 2.25. w u . .. This was an uneventful week In the vealer market and prices were retained at steady levels throughout the period. Goo 1 and choice light and hand weights were salable at all times from $5’85.a0, common and medium. s2.so®*. - RHEF.P Lambs prices moved within a narrow range this week, never more than 25c and usually less than that. Marketing were considerably larger than for the corresponding period last week and there was little difference in the consist, except that heavies were a little more numerous and bucks less plentiful than heretofore. For the week, good and choice ewes and wethers bulked at 'i ;i75 on the hign oavs. Bucks received ' usual SI.OO discount and common ihrowouts ranged downward to $2.50. Bome mixed lots, including bucks, heavies and unfinished kinds cleared from $6.504x5.25. Ewes sold up to $2.00. usually $1.0061.30 for slaughter, culls down to 50c. and light breeding ewes to *2.50 and above. In justice to those interests who, are operating on the Indianapolis market it should said that a dependable outlet exists for all sheep and lambs available at prices representative of their intringic value.
