GRAIN QUOTATIONS
WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Sept. 8. Grain market is slow and firm. Locals mainly await fresh new9 and are inclined to favor the buying side. Foreign exchange is weak and there is no export demand. News abroad suggests exchange will remain weak. Provisions easy on absence of expected cash demand. The strike news Is effecting provisions to some extent. Corn receipts large. Country selling oats very slowly. The grain belt is too dry and fall pasturage may be effected. Government report issued at 1:15 p. m. today shows winter wheat 715 million, spring wheat 208 million, a total of 903 million; corn 2,858 million, about 50 million above expectations; rye 84 million: general report not considered bullish.

Influences the amount of gas used, 300 per cent
Earnings Are Curtailed. In addition to these and many other
extraordinary Items of expense which Mr. Gregory does not mention, there Is
nother feature which must not be
overlooked, namely, that the depletion
in our supply has brought about cur
tailment of our earnings through the inability to deliver the former large
quantities of gas, and this deficiency was further intensified through the action of the United States Fuel Administration in discontinuing the industrial service during the past winter at the request of some of the Indiana municipalities, without increasing the rate to offset the resulting loss in earnings. "Our situation is not dissimilar to that of hundreds of other natural gas and utility companies for whom relief
has been readily granted by municipal
councils or commissions during the past year, even where their needs were not as urgent as ours. "In all fairness, relief must be had quickly, and in establishing a new rate we are endeavoring to be as reason
able and conservative as conditions
will permit, realizing that in this co
operative effort, burdens should be
equitably proportioned between our
company, your company and your pat
rons. Each must meet a fair shaie if
further expensive efforts to benefit the
service are to be attempted.
"At the present time we are receiv
ing 35 cents per thousand cubic feet
for natural gas at wholesale, and fur
thermore, we are now asking for a further increase in rates in Ohio which
we expect will be ultimately granted Rate Equitable.
"It will therefore be apparent that the rate of 35 cents which we are now
establishing for gas furnished to dis
tributing companies in Indiana is a more than equitable proposal, especial
ly when you consider the greater dis
tance this gas Is transported. Without such an increase in price, effective by October 1, it will necessitate the construction of many miles of mains and gathering lines, and the installation of two-stage compressor stations and other accessories, all of which in the face of present high costs will entail an initial investment of relatively $250,000, and further additions as the field is developed. While the life of any new gas field is always one of uncertainty as to whether it will continue to justify such an investment and expense, never the less the connecting gas company, from whom we receive gas at Sugar Grove, are willing to go forward and make the investment, but we cannot consider doing so at the prices which they now receive from us and we, ia turn, can not agree to pay higher prices unless an increase is granted by our consumers and distributors. From the foregoing it will be observed that if anything looking toward a
betterment of service is to be attempted, the hearty assistance and prompt co-operation of your company, yo:T
city and your Public Utilities Commission is necessary, and to these tribunals we submit the facts as above stated with the assurance that If the acceptance of this 35 cent rate can be had from your company, and all the other companies receiving gas from our lines in Indiana, our company will Immediately proceed with steps necessary to procure this additional supply. This action must be promptly takoia if the effort to obtain the additional supply be made in time for the coming winter's service. Yours verr trulv. THE LOGAN GAS AND FUEL CO. By K. C.

(Continued from Page One) companies supplying us with West Virginia natural gas are similarly affected, and nothing less than a complete readjustment of rates all the way from the gas fields in West Virginia to the consumers in Indiana will make
succesful future operations possible, j
This readjustment will be accomplished through our apportionment of the 35 cent rate. Cannot Curtail. "In fact, natural gas companies, especially those engaged in production and transportation of gas, have been more seriously affected by these con-
J ditions than any other utility service,
since while other utilities can curtail, the natural gas industry has been forced, because of shortages, to drill more wells and otherwise endeavor to increase its deliveries; and each well and every other enlargement of its facilities costs at least twice as much as it did before the war. "Furthermore, the once great gas fields of West Virginia have been drawn upon to such an extent that three present-day producing wells are necessary to equal the output of one well of a few years since; and the resulting expense necessary to produce
1 an equal volume of gas, considering
the greatly increased costs of labor and material, is at least five-fold. "This is well evidenced in the report of the activities of the Bureau of Natural Gas of the United States Fuel Administration, wherein Mr. Gregory, after calling attention to the inadequacy of trifling advances made in a few instances (and in which our company has not participated), states
THRONG MEETS (Continued from Page One) "'My Dear General Pershing: I am distressed that I cannot greet you in person. It would give me the greatest pleasure to grasp yonr hand and say to you what is in my heart, and in the hearts of all true Americans as we hail your return to the homeland you have served so gallantly. Notwithstanding my physical absence, may I not, as your commander in chief and as spokesman of our fellow countrymen, bid you an affectionate and enthusiastic welcome, a welcome warmed with the ardor of genuine affection and deep admiration. You have served the country with fine devotion and admirable efficiency in a way forever memorable as the
world's triumphant protest against injustice and as its vindication of lib
erty the liberty of peoples and nations.
" 'We are proud of you and of the
men you commanded. No finer arm
ies ever set their indomnitable strength and unconquerable ppirit
against the forces of wrong. Their glory is the glory of the nation and it is with a thrill of profound pride that
we greet you as their leader and
.commander. You have just come from
the sea and the care of the men of the navy who made the achievement
of our arms on land possible, and
who gallantly assisted to clear the seas of their lurking peril. Our
hearts go out to them, too.
" 'It is delightful to see you home
again, well and tit for the fatigues you must endure before we are done with our welcome. I will not speak
now of our associates on the other
side of the sea. It will be delightful on many occasions to speak their
praise. I speak now only of our personal joy that you are home again and that we have the opportunity to
make you feel the warmth of our af fectionate welcome'."
