MARKETS
GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank , Building. CHICAGO, Nov. 10 Grain markets have entered a new phase; big break loaves all grains in a rallying position. Cash wheat unchanged to 5 cents higher in the various markets. Minntapolis premiums unchanged. Removal ot hedges on around two million Manitoba wheat to the British government which had been hedged in Chicago and Wirmepeg was responsible for the bulge of near 7 cents in December wheat. Kansas banks will nurse their wheat loans and help the farmer to sell reasonably. Roumania may prohibit exports. Some of the old time bull wheat 6tuff has arrived. We regard the same spirit in all markets as changed for the moment. Corn receipts are .very small. . RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER 6V. CO212 Union National Bank Building.

Discussing the allocation of ships the report states that "investigation of companies or applicants for assigned or allocated tonnage seems to be more or less haphazard with the U. S. shipping board." The investigators say that the division of assignment and allocation attempted to cooperate with the department of investigation but that just about "the time proper cooperation between these two departments had been established the department of Investigation was so disturbed by a change in its directing heads and its personnel as to render its offices useless for the purpose of the division of assignment and allocation.

Mr. Richardson, one of the invest!-'new

He states in presenting the report that it jwas "designed to be constructive and helpful to the shipping board, rather than destructively critical." NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Commander A. B.

INDIANA CROPS SHOW SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE OVER 1919 PRODUCTION IN MONTHLY REPORT
The Indiana corn iron for 1920 goes true of white potatoes, which are neardouble last year's crop. The report follows: The corn crop now being harvested is one of the best ever produced in Indiana notwithstanding the heavy frost nn '.Irtnhsr 5nr1 WMthpr condijtions during October could hardly have been imnrmori nnnn hut thrp will be tne yield per acre 40.5 bushels is more than 4 bushels above the 10-year average, and the heaviest since county records were established in 1914. On this yield a total production of 190,431,000 bushels is forecasted, compared with 175,750,000 bushels last year. The quality, compared with a high, medium grade, is 92 per cent, and there is 9,842,000 bushels "of last year's crop still on farms. To offset this however, 8.7 per cent of the crop was out for feilage and the yield averaged 9.4 tons per acre. It is further estimated tnat 87 per cent of the total crop is of marketable quality. Wheat Weight Low. The weight, per measured bushel, of wheat averaged r.omewhat under the legal standard, being 57 pounds; oats made the full weight of 32 pounds and barley made 47 pounds. I Buckwheat made an average yield of 20 bushels per acre, which is somewhat higher than shown by the Octo ber figures and indicates a toal proauc tion of 280,000 bushels, compared with 231,000 bushels last year. The quality Is 93 ner cent. The yield of white potatoes averaged 96 bushels per acre, and is nearly double that of last year. From these figures a total production of 8,640,000 , bushels is indicated, compared with j 4.400.000 bushels last year. The qualIty is 91 per cent, but 75 per cnt of; the crop will be consumed on the rarms where produced. 1 proDaDiy 25,000 others from all parts of Wayne and surrounding counties yiew the spectacle.

Parts Labor Federation Suffers Internal Strife PARIS, Nov. .10. Resolutions authorizing the general federation of labor to take measures against extremists obeying instructions from the third Internationale (Moscow) outside of the ranks of the federation were adopted at a meeting of the General Council of that organization here yesterday. The vote was 72 to 20, there being 23 members of the council who refused to cast their ballots. eration declared he considered this majority as insufficient, and presented the resignation of the Centrl Bureau. The council then adopted a motion ex pressing confidence in the bureau and the wish that M. Jouhaux would con tinue to exercise the functions of his office. Only 22 members refused to vote, and the motion was passed by a vote of 103 to 3. M. Jouhaux, however, left the room, declaring it was impossible for him to continue in office "amid the calumnies and lies of the extremists." He is expected to make a final decision today, and newspapers here believe he will not insist upon resigning, in view of the vote of confidence given by the council.

IND., WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10,
Sweet potatoes averaged 120 bushels per acre and indicates a total production of 360,000 bushels, compared with 315.000 bushel3 last year. The quality !s 93 per cent and 35 per cent of the Large Tobacco Acreage. The average yield of tobacco is 900 pounds per acre on one of the largest ncreages ever put out. These figures indicate a total production of 16,110,000 pounds compared with 15,215,000 pounds last year. The quality is 85 per cent of a high, medium grade. Of the total amount produced approximately 55 per cent is of the burley type, 40 per cent of the dark or one-, sucker type and 5 per cent of the cigar type. The total production of apples this year is 67 per cent of a full crop and amounts to 6,100,000 bushels, compared with 1,704,000 bushels last year. The quality is only 79 per cent of a high, medium grade and is due to the extremely warm weather during October affecting the earlier varieties of winter apples. Pears are 2 per cent over a normal crop with a total production of 663,000 bushels, compared with 188,000 bushels last year. The quality is 94 per cent of a high, medium grade. Grapes show 93 per cent of a normal yield. Clover Seed Disappointing. The yield of clover seed was very disappointing in many localities, although the state average ls 1.5 bushels per acre. On this figure a total production of 157,000 bnshpls is indicated, compared with 75,000 hushel3 last year. About th usual acreage was out, but Ihe quality of the seed is not up to normal. Grain sorghum and field psas produced god crops of both grain and forage. The acreage of the former was not quite up to the usual, but the latter was considerably greater than is usually harvested. Sorghum cane rroduced about the usual amount of syrun per acre, but the acreage was considerably increased in many localities.

PRICE FIXING (Continued from Page One) demand cheaper food from us without first ascertaining the cost of production and thereby proving whether or not we are taking too large margin of profit." Says Laws Work Injury. The national masler declared 1h-it the great changes that have taken place since the beginning of the war have been to the disadvantage of agri- ! culture and many laws and rulings of our national government have proven of injury to the farmers "We bave searched faithfully to find I one law or ruling to our advantage and ! failed to find it. We have argued for a fair show, but our efforts have met with a like fate." Mr. Lowell said the recent census showed a not decrease of lOO.oflO i farms in seven states New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, ' Michigan and West Virginia and h" ! charged that, the attitude of the men ! in legislative halls and department? ; of government was responsible to a j large degree for this condition. "So i long as we remain passive this state I of affairs will continue," he declared. , Concerning taxation, he said: Defends Income Tax. I "There is but one equitable form j of taxation and that is where every form of wealth pays its just proportion of taxes. There is no tax more hi than the income tax. for it is never a charge against any one who ha not the means to nav." He sDok against, the single tax and the idpa of ; Xlaeing a government land tax of one ! per cent on the land in place of tax-' ing large incomes. Both would be disastrous to agriculture, ho said, j "Another equally erroneous idea," ho . continued, " is the one of a heavy I tax on all unimproved land holding?, I for if this was done and they were forced on the market by reason ot , such a tax (which is the intent) it i would cause the depreciation of farm j lnnds 50 per cent, from the fact that there is more improved land than nic-n , to work it now." I LEGAL CODE (Continued from Page One) lican plan to bring this body of international law into a formal code, which code shall govern ihe court of the new association of nations. Also, the court will be goverened. as every court is, by precedent. lu ; both these ways the power which ilv new court is to possess will be re j stricted. The new court will not be free, as the council and the assembly or the league are free, to act on each ! case according to the expediency of ! the moment and according to what- j ever might happen to be the political necessities of Ihe case. i Court Restricted. Not only will the new court be re- j stricted in this way; in addition, tho field in which this court will function will be carefully confined ana limited. ! Certain supjocts, like immigration, will j be specifically excluded from its juris-1 diction, and will remain as they now I are, subjects in which each nation will ; continue to be a law unto itself. i The distinction between a body of j men acting as diplomats in the council of the league and a body of men acting as a court may not be readily clear j to the layman, although every lawyer I will recognize it instantly. But that difference is almost literally all the difference in this world. There should be an American campaign of education to make this difference clear. "Many of our people, as result of all the acrimonious discussion have come to be suspicious of every detail of the league. It wi'l bo necessary to make clear to them how great is the difference between - the principles of the league which

The Farm By WILLIAM Farmer are too busy with tail work to pay any attention to marketing wheat or corn at these low prices, said Joseph Poos, of the Poos elevator at Eaton. "We are not buying any grain just, now, simply because farmers are not bringing any to market. We have been unable to get any bard coal of the sizes we require this year." "We have bought a little jag of corn at 75 cents per bushel, at least we did early," said Earl Adamson, of the Lynn flour mill and elevator, "but this was a little high. About 80 cents per hundred pounds is all we can pay for new corn now and that would be a. pood price, compared with central markets." Mr. Adamson says that farmers are not merely holding their grain but are also doing mighty little buying, just now, except that they are inclined to lay in coal when available They have received five cars of hara coal this season at Lynn, and had to pay so much on the open, ppeculative market for one car that they were forced to charge $21 per ton to get out on it. i Fountain City Has Coal. "We have both anthracite and Ken - . . ; . , . I manager oi tne rouniam city eievaioi, "the hard coal at $20 and the soft at $12 per ton. Farmers are shredding and taking care of their corn, which is about all the farm news I can tell you today. They are not selling anything, unless it may be hogs, just now." i No Wheat at Centerville. Valter Mathews of Centerville says I they can't buy any wheat at recent j decline, and that they have been unable to buy any quantity of corn either, having got in a very little new corn the other day at 70 cents per bushel. They have been able to get a fair share of the soft coal moving, he stated on Tuesday, but that none of the anthracite ordered weeks ago has yet shown up. He hopes, however, to know definitely just when some hard coal can be counted on, by Friday. Dear Bread and Cheap Flour. In a discussion of grain market conditions with Goodrich Brothers of Winchester, Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Goodrich remarked: "In view of the continued break in wheat, he expected that the best they could offer on Wednesday would be $1.80 per bushel." He said, however, that they had been able to get but little wheat of late, just an odd load now and then, in fact, and the same was true as to corn. Mr. Goodrich believes that corn in this section will finally move at 55 to 60 cents, and oats at 45 to 50. He COLD STORAGE STEAMER LINE TO EE UNDERTAKEN (By AssociatPd Press.) MADRID. Nov. 10.

R. SANBORN ciiea the drop in feed, which he says "has gone to pieces." Also that at a high price tor wheat, millers would have to charge $17 or more per barrel for flour to offset the reduction in millstuffs. which the public would not stand for under existing conditions. With reference to the fact that, with flour down bread maintains th same old price, the very top at that. Mr Goodrich cited the fact that bread is still being made from high priced flour. That many bakers contract for a two, three or even a four months' supply of flour, to insure against running out, and that flour prices are made according to values at the timof purchase. "To force the small baker to cut the price of his loaf with the dips in wheat, or to sell his bread made from high cost flour on the basis of today's flour and wheat market, would often entirely wipe out his capital."
