WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTERCHICAGO, Aug. 16. Pood raids have had a serious effect on the buying power In corn; in addition, hogs do not rally, closing from 60 to 75 cents lower. Foreign exchange Is weak and this accords with signs that private credits to Europe are a certainty. This looks to be the most serious news of the season. It will cut the big exports that have run the United States credits up, which has been such a fierce boomerang, causing high United States costs and uneasiness. About 14 percent of the corn states received rain the past forty-eight hours. Oats sentiment is bullish but the corn feeling is miked and uneasy. There are too many egg, butter and cheese raids. Tine rains all around Toledo. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. Phone 1720. CHICAGO. Aug. 16. Following la the range of futures on Chicago Board

Labor Situation Causes

Effect on Stock Market (Br Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 16 The stocx

market this week was perceptibly influenced by existing domestic economic problems, especially the unset

tled labor situation.

Growth of the campaign against

high living costs, which had its most

striking manifestations In food seizures and partial reduction of commodity prices, also served to undermine the last, the impairment em

bracing many nigh 01849 issues.

Publio participation, which became

chilled in the previous week on pub

lication of the claims of the railway brotherhoods, dwindled to slender proportions, leaving the field almost entirely to pools and allied professional Interests.

Although technical conditions were

visibly improved by reason of the recent liquidation, the shorts engaged

In further aggressive movements,

many active shares recording ex

treme declines of 6 to 15 points.

Much of the week's depreciation was

credited to the operation of brokers

acting for Western speculators prominent in the long sustained advance but now believed to be committed to

the other side of the account.

Several new corporation offerings

were made by bankers and syndicates but the general investment situation

as indicated by the easier tone of the

bond market, was far from satisfactory.

FAST GAMES SLATED FOR COUNTY; QUAKERS WILL PLAY RESERVES

SUNDAY'S GAMES IN COUNTY ConnersvlUe Reserves vs. Richmond Quakers at Exhibition park. Liberty Miller-Kempers at Eldorado. Greensfork at CenterviUe. Richmond Senators at Whitewater. Richmond Athletics at Eaton. ConnersvlUe Giants at Abington. The Invading ConnersvlUe Reserves In Sunday's game at Exhibition park, will try to convince Richmond that when Connersville really triea she can hand Richmond a good beating. If the rain doesn't interfere, there will be one grand battle and fans who like to witness a fast ball game are urged to come out and root against Connersville, for it is understood that several machine loads of Connersville backers are going to accompany their team to Richmond. Other Games Interesting Several other good ball games are scheduled for tomorrow throughout the county. The Quakers are not the only team that has a battle on their hands, for the Liberty Miller-Kemper-Eldorado and the Greensfork CenterviUe games promise to be battles all the way as the rivalry between these four teams Is very great. The Miller-Kempers have loaded up and are expected to avenge the defeat Eldorado handed them two weeks ago at Liberty, but the Eldorado crew differs. Hartman and Craycraft are expected to compose the Miller-Kemper battery.

Nicholson, the local commercial league star, will be on the mound for Greensfork with Wise doing the receiving when Greensfork stacks up against the CentervUle team. Sturm, the Starr Piano S. A. L. pitcher, will do the burling for CenterviUe and Sullivan will receive his slants. Although Nicholson has so far only pitched in the commercial league, he is a good pitcher and will make CenterviUe go the limit to beat him. Up at Whitewater, the Richmond

Senators with Runnels or Madze to do

the hurling, will try to hand Whitewater the small end of the score. Whitewater has a strong line-up.

lttie is known about the strength of

the newly organized Richmond Athletics, who are going to play the Eaton

team tomorrow, at Eaton. The Connersville Giants, a fast colored team from Connersville will nlav

Abington tomorrow afternoon, on Ab

ington 8 own ground. Castleman. a former Indianapolis A. B. C. pitcher, will do the hurling for the Giants.

LOCAL QUOTATIONS (Furnished by Whelan) SELLING PRICES

Old H. C. L. Hits Fishers; Bait Price Going Up 'By Associated Press) MUNCIE. Ind.. Aug. 16. After paying the high prices charged for live bait at Indiana resorts, Muncie sportsmen are loud in their demands that an investigation of the bait industry be lncludede along with the high cost of living. One dealer in angle worms, who, at the beginning of the season Jumped his price from 15 cents to 35 cents a hundred and then tacked on another five cents, explained the

second raise by saying he has to pay

a 5 cent war tax.

At most of the Indiana lakes last

season fishing worms could be bought for 15 cents a hundred; now they are 35 and 40 cents a hundred. Crickets

that formerly sold for 35 cents a hun

dred are now being dolled out to the

sportsmen at 10 cents a dozen. The dealers say they can make so

much more money at other work that

they have to charge the higher prices for bait or quit the business. One bait dealer at Webster Lake confided to friends the other day that he had sold 20,000 worms since the season opened and had cleaned up a nice profit.
