PRICE WRECK FEATURES WILD MARKET WEEK
Sixty Cent Break in Corn Other Staples Drop to Demoralizing Depths. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The shippers of corn and hogs have Just experienced a week of demoralization in prices. The unexpected has happened. It has happened not only In Chicago, the greatest live stock market of the world, but the break at that point has had its reflex all over the country. At Indianapolis, Saturday, Septem ber 6, hogs ranged at 118.75 to 119.00 for heavies, while mediums and lights sold at $19.25 to $19.50. Last Satur day the same kind of hogs went at $16.75 to $17.25 for heavies and the top on lights was $17.50. This showed an average break of $2 per 100 for the week, and this after an almost continuous decline for several days. Cattle were. less active and prices held better as to bulk of offerings, this being true of all markets. But corn has been on the toboggan at accelerated speed of late, last week being the most bearish since the decline set in. This was particularly true of Chicago on Saturday, where September corn broke ten cents per j bushel at the low, as compared with Friday's close. Cash corn also receded from 5c to 12c per bushel on Saturday, with the majority of the traders still bearish at the close. Oats suffered with corn, though not quite so greatly in proportion, but the pep is out of oats for the present. Corn Away Off. September corn showed a loss of 62 cents from the high of July 10 at Chicago on Saturday, while December and May futures showed losses of from 45 to 54 cents per bushel from the top. Pork, lard and ribs have also suffered in the general wreck. It is officially estimated that the number of stock hogs on our farms on : September 1 was 62,070,000, compared i with 65,060,000 a year ago and 60,- j 218,000 in 1917. j Chicago Averages. The average price of hogs in Chi-! cago for the week ending Saturday, September 13, was $17.35, against $18.45 the previous week. The average price of cattle showed a loss of but 25 cents on the week, at $15.50, while sheep and lambs actually advanced 15 cents and 75 cents respectively, the average being $7.90 on sheep and $15.50 for lambs. The average price of hogs was the lowest for any week since July, 1918, and it was $2.60 lower than a year ago. The average also showed a loss of $4.85 per 100 pounds compared with less than two months ago. This would seemingly indicate a sufficient break for the present, but of that none can foretell, for both bull and bear markets are often surprisingly erratic. GLEN MILLER RECEIPTS According to Rome Shurley's figures the receipts of live stock at Glen Miller yards last week were: 358 sheep and lambs, 343 hogs, 93 head of cattle and 41 veal calves, with a daily loss on prices. "Hogs reached a new low level on ST

Saturday," said Shurley, "heavy hogs, 225 lbs. and up, selling at $15, top on lights, $16; pigs sold at $12 to $14; sows at $12.50, and stags at $8 to $10, making the net loss from the highest price locally paid $7.25 per 100 weight." "While the market was a shade higher in spots, Saturday, it Is predicted that the bottom on hogs has not yet been reached. The market was lower on cattle and veals, while lambs were steady at $8 to $10." Brings In 206 Hogs. The largest delivery of the week at the local yards was made by J. P. McDonogh, of Spartansburg, who trucked in 206 hogs and drew a check for $7,188, at 17 cents per pound, on Tuesday. Daniel Albright, of Glen Kara, brought in 59 April pigs which averaged 155 pounds, and which sojd for $16 per 100. Albert Irvin, of Webster, received $677.50 for four head of cattle. One steer weighed 1660 lbs. and brought $200 at 12 cents per pound. It would be of interest to know just how much money that steer will bring over the meat market counter, at retail, in addition to the horns, hide, etc., but it will be a plenty. Mr. Irvin delivered 20 hogs on Saturday that topped the market at $16. Who Divided the Money? While it was not a big week at Glen Miller, there were quite a number of shippers represented in the intake. Among those listed were: John Yeatts,
J. F. Edwards, Robert Clements, Charles Holland, Frank Clements, Rich Paulson, Charles Bailey, Harry Osborn, Lawrence Clark, A. Githens, J. R. Spahr, Pearl Reynolds, Frank Moorman, J. F. Fudge, Joe Bennett, A. L. Baldwin, W"orth Hill, Harry Macejr an(j p Conway. The Indianapolis market was a shade higher on hogs this morning at the opening with receipts of 4,000, and heavies at $17.75 and lights, bringing up to $18.25. Chicago received 16,000 hogs, had 5,000 left over from Saturday, and the market was weak. Buffalo had heavy receipts and was reported 75 cents lower thi3 forenoon.

The Theatres
MURRETTE An old puncher, grizzled and gaunt, drifted into the set at the Hollywood ranch of William S. Hart, where he was working on "The Money Corral" an extraordinarily thrilling Artcraft Western drama shown at the Murrette theatre Monday and Tuesday. The puncher watched Bill shooting and doing other stunts for a while and then shook his head. "That feller's wastin his time In pictures," he averred. "But he makes more money than he could punching cattle," suggested a cowboy. "Sure, but it's a durn shame to let a man that can shoot and ride like him get away from the cow country. He could be boss of the range and he sure would keep them chaps hustliu'. You can't beat Bill Hart." And they couldn't convince the old chap he was not entirely right. Jane Novak is Mr. Hart's leading woman in his new photoplay. MURRAY One of the unique spots in "Putting It Over," a new Paramount picture, starring Bryant Washburn, which will be shown at the Murray theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is the scene where Mr. Washburn, who Tllnva tho nort tf a email tnivn rnKo starts to enter the door Qf the oom' occupied by the board of directors of a large corporation, to submit to them a plan which he has to Increase their business. The audience need not imagine how he felt, as it is shown right on the screen in black and white. The scene is quite original and novel and nothing like it has ever before been 6een in the movies. Mr. Washburn is supported by a splendid company headed by Shirley Mason. WASHINGTON Elsie Ferguson is admirably supported in her splendid new ParamountArtcraft picture, "The Witness for the Defense," which will be shown at the Washington theatre today. Playing opposite to Miss Ferguson is Vernon Steel, the talented young actor who has been seen in numerous pictures. Warner Oland, who appeared with Miss Ferguson in "The Avalanche," her recent Artcraft success, has a strong dramatic role. Wyndham Standing, a popular player well known to Paramount-Artcraft audiences, has an excellent role in the picture. Can an actress be so affected by her own emotional work that she can cry when she sees herself on the screen? Dorothy Phillips, star of "The Heart of Humanity," which had a long run at the Broadway Theatre, was caught crying when she attended the opening performance of the picture in New York City. She was asked to explain why she should boohoo. "It isn't my acting that affects me," she declared as she wiped away a tear. "It's the story. I believe I forgot it was myself on the screen. "An actress must have imagination. That's why it is I forget I am looking at myself. I see on the screen only the charatcers I portray. It isn't egotism, I assure you. I have cried more over Mrs. Mann's work in the elderly mother role than I have over my own." Anderson Man to Collect $190,000 ANDERSON, Ind.. Sept. 15 Andrew W. Gardner, a farmer, one mile east of Anderson, has gone to New York city and will remain there pending the settlement of the $1,000,000 estate of his daughter, Mrs. Blanche A. Thompson, of which he is to receive $190,000, in accordance with the will of his daughter. Mr. Gardner went to New York shortly after the death of his daughter, Mrs. Thompson, on August 16, at Islip, L. I and attended the funeral. Amy Mutinies; Ordered Against D'Annuzio ROME, Sept. 15 Premier Nitti. In a statement in the chamber of deputies Saturday regarding the raid on Flume by Italian troops, announced that the commander of the Sixth army corps had been ordered to intercept and disarm Fabriele D'Annunzio's troops, but that the troops refused to obey the commander's order. The latest advices were to the effect that the situation arising from the coup was serious and the premier declared he was determined to act in a manner to avoid grave conflicts. Tractor Course to Be Given at Purdue LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept 13.

Fleming Sisters Called
Prnicess of the Navy" The Fleming Sisters Trio has a title of nobility. "The little Princesses of the Navy." It was bestowed by the sailors who were entertained during the war by the playing of the Trio. During the war the Fleming Sisters played on every battleship, cruiser and gun-boat, whether foreign or American that entered New York Harbor. As soon as the ships passed Ambrose lightship and the Statue of Liberty was sighted, the "gobs" anxiously Inquired whether or not the Fleming Sisters would play which of course they always did. But it was left to one wounded boy, helpless on a hospital cot, to christen them by the affectionate title by which they are known to thousands of Uncle Sam tars "The Little Princesses of the Navy." The Fleming Sisters.who will give a joint recital with Miss Amy Ellerman on Wednesday evening, Sept. 24, at the Washington, have by hard work and earnest application won for themselves an enviable place in musical circles. Germans Pat Enormous Tax on Wire Tolls (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Sunday, Sept. 14 In conformity with its policy to tax everything to the utmost limit, the government has announced that beginning tomorrow foreign telegraph rates will be advanced 150 per cent. This is In spite of the fact that service has been very bad and it has been necessary usually to pay thrice the ordinary tolls for urgent service which has even then been slow and unreliable. The decision chiefly concerns foreign correspondents. When rates are increased, telegraphing will be costly in spite of the advantage of foreign exchange possessed by the correspondents.
