MARKET NOTES
Indianapolis states that the marketing of ho's continues of small volume, and only about equal to tbe urgent requirements of the trade. There was a good demand ! and the market stronger than the close yesterday, but 5T lower than yesterday morning-, when the bulk of yesterday's supply sold. There was a little better market for the choice light hos than others, and they did not show much change. With all sold the close was steady at opening; prices. Aside from one lot of hogs at $5.65, the range was from $5.25 to .$5.55 and 4 the bulk of the supply sold at $5.35 (5.55. There was a decline in cattle values in Indianapolis notwithstanding the supplies were smaller than last week. There was a continued lack of interest in all departments, notwithstanding a reduction of 10c in prices. Thus far this week there has been a general decline of 25c compared with the close of last week, and occasional transactions are 35c lower. The demand was not nearly equal to the supply, and many. cattle of, all kinds remained unsold. Bulls were nearly steady compared with yesterday, and calves were 25c lower. A Chicago dispatch states that reports from India today told of increased damage to the wheat crop because of the continued drought. This information caused the wheat market to be firm, notwithstanding a fair amount of selling by local traders. Commission houses Avere the principal buyers. May opened a shade higher, sold off to 878Se, and then advanced to SSfcc. The corn market in Chicago was steady despite liberal local receipts, pit traders were active bidders and offerings were small. May opened a shade lower to a shade higher, and held around the higher figure. JRicInaond Livestock. (Paid by Richmond Abbatoir Co.) Hogs, top heavy, $4.60 to $4.75 per hundred.

This small though constantly increasing band of earnest citizen workers may look back with pride and satisfaction to the success which has crowned their efforts so far. s Richmond has been the chief beneficiarv of this organization. Th rough the unselfish efforts of these men the Overall Factory, the Chandelier Art Brass Works, Fry Brothers, the Canning Factory, the Brick Yards, and the C. J. & M. It. R., were brought to this city. Now they are promoting another enterprise which promises to be the greatest they have as yet undertaken. ' As is Avell known the lack of suitable factory sites has lost to Richmond more than one factory enterprise that would have been of great value to the industrial advancement of the city. In order to eliminate this drawback the South Side Improvement Association has contracted for the Boyce farm O (Beallview), lying just south of the city limits. Tins addition will be so divided as to give one-half mile on either side of the C. C. & L. R. R., of factory sites. In order to pay for this laud the Assoeiat ion has ' voted to increase its stock to $40,000. The par valno of each share is $10 and the stock is now offered for sale to the citizens of Richmond. The well known integrity of the men backing this enterprise is a valuable guarantee of the .satety of this stock as an investment. Committees are now visiting the citizens of the town soliciting subscriptions to the stock, and there is every reason 9 to believe that it will be speedily taken np. . -
FIVE THOUSAND TURKEYS USED
MANY, BIG FOWLS HAVE BEEN. CONSUMED IN RICHMOND THIS "WINTER. THEY BROUGHT OVER $10,000 Chickens Are Fairly Plentiful And Sell at Lower Price Than Last Year. The poultry market of this city is l:?lt i!K1PP than it was a short time atitr the holidays but still there is a great scarcity of turkeys and chickens are not as plentiful as they should be. It was yesterday estimated that over live thousand turkeys have been consumed in Richmond alone during the past season and the prevailing price having been 25 cents per lb., it shows that considerably over $10,000 has been spent for the Thanksgiving fowl alone. Never before has the price of turkeys remained so high during the entire winter as it has this vear. This is accounted for by the great demand for poultry in New York, Chicago and other large cities, where almost any price Was demanded and received. More turkeys were raised in Wayne County than ever before, but this did not affect the price. Those who engaged in the raising of turkeys found it very profitable, as there has been a steady buying market since early in November. Just at present, the home supply of turkeys is about gone, and it is nossible that the price may soar 1 above its present height, should there come another brisk demand. As to the number of chickens consumed during the winter, no accurate estimate can be made, but the number will run into several thousands Chickens have been fairly plentiful, but the prevailing price has been 15 cents per lb., for large dressed chickens. Smaller ones, for broiling purposes, sell for more, or from 20 to 22 cents per lb. Chickens were higher in price last year than they are this year. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS O. G. MURRAY. Wheat.
