GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAGNER'3 GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Aug. 13 Markets wear a trading appearance. Locals think the rise of cash corn to 12.10 only temporary. News suggests further reduction in the oats crop. Rail shop men tangle continues in some form. Europe is buying its grain with great care and its credits remain confused. Locals think all U. S. markets will remain hobbled for a time owing to the living cost row. Corn crop looks 80 condition and they figure 2900 million. Spring wheat reports are very poor. Outside interests in the market are light. This is ascribed to investigations, railroad troubles, and belief that the corn market has dropped all fear of heat. Chicago corn supplies down to a trifle. Primary corn receipts average one and one-half million per week and should be two and one-half million at least. Corn market affected by Aug. 12th and 13th rains and signs of certainty of 2700 to 2800 million yield. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. VAGNER & CO, 212 Union National Bank Building. Phoe 1720.

J. ROTTINGHAUS KILLS SELF; WAS CITY POLICEMAN Body Found Hanging in Barn Near New Hope Resigned From Force Monday. John Rottinghaus, 43 years old, for

eight years a member of the Richmond police force, hanged himself in a barn on the farm of Walter Ashinger near New Hope, O., Wednesday morning. His body was found by Ashinger at 7 o'clock. He had used two straps, used by the farmer in plowing, in committing the deed. Rottinghaus was not known there and was not identified until about noon when members of the Richmond police force arrived. Articles of clothing which he wore, purchased in this city, and $60 in cash found in a pocketbook that bore the advertisement of a Richmond bank led to the belief that he lived in this city. Reason for the suicide is not known. Chief of Police Gorman said Wednesday he had appeared worried but that the cause had never been discussed. jand that he did not know of any rea son for the act. Rottinghaus had resigned from the police force Monday night. According to Gorman he had discussed resigning several times before that time, but had assigned no cause. Chief Gorman, Assistant Chief McNally, and Patrolman Kendall went to Eaton Wednesday afternoon where the body was removed after its discovery and identified it. Rottinghaus is survived by his widow Lyda and one daughter, Ruth. Corrected by McLean & Company, Dayton, Ohio. Bell Phone. East 2S; Home S1235 DAYTON, O., Aug. 13.

GILBERT MARKETS 268 HOGS TODAY The largest single marketing of hogs at Glen Miller yards for some time was made by Harry Gilbert on Monday, who marketed 268 head, averaging 230 pounds. The check was for $13,300 and shipment was made to Indianapolis. There was an accumulation of hogs at the local stock yards Wednesday morning, and Shurley was anxiously waiting the setting of four cars, which it was said had arrived in town. There is an apparent tendency to market hogs just now. Tom Ryan, living south of town, brought in 150 head, averaging 220 pounds on Tuesday,' which will be headed east as soon as cars are set in. John Flatley came in with 29 head of good ones Wednesday forenoon. The receipts of live stock promise to be heavy this week. Early reports from Indianapolis Wednesday were that hogs were up fifty cents, following a break of twentyfive cents on Tuesday, Shurley said. Clem Gaar reports an average of 22 1-2 bushels on about 63 acres of wheat, with a 30 bushel run of Red Russian in one section of the field. An agent for Gaar bought a fullblood Duroc gilt at the Nldlinger 26th annual sale on at Decatur, Ind., on Monday, at a cost of $215. Gaar says he Intends going into red hogs more extensively from now on. The sole difference between black

25 BUSHELS TO ACRE IN WHEAT YIELD FOR FARM - William Dorgan Gets Good Yield From 55 Acres Nolan's Fork Crop Poor. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN.

A fifty-five acre field of wheat which threshes out 25 bushels of choice grain per acre, is entitled to honorable mention in Wayne county threshing annals for 1919. William Dorgan, living on the Tom Conniff farm, 6outhwest of Whitewater, broke all records for the Wil liam T. Bond threshing outfit this year, as above. Bond lives at Fountain City and has furnished a complete record of acreage and bushels to date, covering sixteen days' threshing for two separate "rings." He says that while some small fields exceeded 25 bushels no single field of anywhere near 55 acres averaged quite so high as the Dorgan crop in his threshing this season; "and best of all, this wheat was of fine quality." Including the Dorgan run, a total of 672 acres, owned by 27 fanners and producing 12,977 bushels, were threshed. This makes an average of 19 bushels per acre, a large percent age of which was good milling wheat, although there was some light wheat In spots. Owing to overflowing elevators Mr. Dorgan was unable to market all his wheat from the thresher and that half of his crop remains to be sold for seed, because of its quality. Several of Dorgan's neighbors have already purchased a lot of it for seeding. Oats Run 25 to 50 Bushels. A few of the farmers belonging to the Bond threshing rings will thresh from stack or in their barns later. Just now he is threshing oats, and reports runs of from 25 to 50 bushels per acre, the average being around 30 bushel3 and the quality fair. The following farmers comprised the rings and garnered wheat as fol lows: J. P. Parish. 590 bushels; Will Thorntown, 524; Wm. Brooks, 422; Geo. Showalter, 524; Atwood Pitts, 245; Howard Reynolds, 290; Emery Lewis. 228: Clarence Bowen, 362; Lester Wright, 453: John McMann, 1C9; Clarence Pentland, 290; Arch Knight, 409; Frank Longfellow, 500; Chas. Buroker, 677; Floyd Brown, 486; J. J. Murphy, 260; Ben Parshall, 962; L. L. Hinshaw, S07; Donald Baines, 388; Dan Boyer, 794; Geo. Rothermel, 445; August Kuhn, 158; Chas. Knoll, 435; Carey Radford, 260; Fred Brown, 380, and Will Dorgan, 1,375 bushels. Nolanafork Yield Poor. William H. Dynes, of Centerville, who has done considerable threshing in the Nolan's Fork district, says that the yields were disappointing, and that he recalls but one instance in which the crop averaged 22 bushels to the acre, while a lot ran as low as 15 buBhels. Owing to the fact that the straw was very heavy and the yields light, he claims that threshers made less money at ten cents this year than at eight cents per bushel last season. He paid his men $5 per day, and all supplies cost more. "The wear and tear comes from running the straw through," said Dynes, "and if the wheat isn't there it doesn't measure out in the run to pay for the extra time in threshing out the heavy straw." Dynes said that so far as he knew, every Wayne county thresher carried compensation insurance, principally in the State Brotherhood of the threshing fraternity. Many threshers were arrested and fined in this state last year for not carrying insurance to cover possible accident to employes. Still Short of Cars. The fact that cars are still unobtainable in sufficient quantity to handle the crop is hampering the normal movement of wheat, and much of it is being sacked or stored in temporary bins, to a more convenient season. The Richmond elevators are full and this is also true as to local storage In outside towns. Until a few days ago it was not necessary to obtain a permit to ship wheat to Cincinnati, but it is today. In fact, no buyer can ship wheat to any point without a government permit, even if there is plenty of cars in which to load. Charles Carpenter, of the Richmond Roller Mills,, reported a single car loaded out on Tuesday, a full elevator, and 26,000 bushels of wheat In the

hands of farmers who are anxious to have him take It In. In view of the crop conditions and the present price for wheat in the world's markets, Carpenter thinks that wheat will sell considerably higher this fall, were the government bars let down and the market thrown open. As it is, choice heavy wheat will be In such demand from mills that It will most likely bring a good premium a little later. The government sets a minimum price, be It noted, but sets no limit as to what one can pay above that figure. But It does set a maximum price for flour, according to quality, based on the minimum price for wheat, and there's the rub, so far as the miller is concerned.
