GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Nov. 23. Corn and oats have accumulated a following who believe purchases are due on dips. A better demand for cash wheat and firmer Sterling pricep helped the rally. Winnipeg and Minneapolis receipts of wheat are large but Kansas City arrivals have declined. The March wheat drop from $1.79 on Nov. 17 to $1.52 on Nov. 22, is severe, hence the current upturn. We are willing to concede these large bulges but we do not believe March wheat can cross the $1.65 line. We consider corn, oats and Jan. lard and , ribs well liquidated.

LOCAL MARKETS BUY HOGS FOR SIX DOLLARS Rome Shurloy said at 2 o'clock thrt he bad bought 40 head of hogs today j at $6 and a bunch earlier at $7, and was , not sure he had made a "good buy," at that, because the eastern markets were glutted today, more hogs would arrive Wednesday, and Thursday would be a holiday.

Glen Miller reports word from Cincinnati that some brokers are refusing to unload cattle and are reshipping to the farmers, the yards being overcrowded. There were . hogs in the Pitts-1 burgh yards Tuesday evening. Heavy shipments had been made from west-i ern points to lighten the loads on! western stockyard buyers.

"Do you recall the trouble we bad getting council to increase the salary of the superintendent from $1,800 to $2,400?" asked Mayor Zommerman. Mr. Campfield remarked that Rich mond taxpayers were demanding that thp plant be paced in proper work ing order at onrf. He estimated that it would cost $15,000 to make necessary repairs. "About $20,000," remarked Mr. Peltz of the board. Manufacturers of the city who had suffered from repeated shutdowns Monday held an indignation meeting in the offices of the American Trust company Monday evening. As a result of the meeting, a committee consisting of E. M. Campfield. W. N. Johnson. F. J3. Anderson, Harry Bockhol'f. Walker Land and Walter Ueid was appointed to represent them in a thorough investigation of the plant. The investigation was conducted Monday evening, with Earl Carter, of the Indiana Public Service commission, present. At the close of the evening he returned to Indianapolis to lay the results of his investigation before the commission.

Tenn., Nov. 23 Lack of demands for cotton oil and meal is given by officials of the Buckeye Cotton Oil company as the cause for the closing down of its plant here. About 500 men are thrown out o fwork. Chinese locomotive engineers have the gentlest sense of touch with the air-brake of any in the world. A break in two is almost unheard of. and there is very little damage to cars in shunting on Chinese railways.

NEW FOUNDLAND RAIL LINE TAKEN OVER BY COLONIAL OFFICIALS (By Associated Press) ST. JOHN'S, N. F., Nov. 23. The New Foundiand railway lines, a narrow gauge system of 960 miles owned by the Reid-New Foundiand company, has been forced to call upon the colonial government for aid in readjustment, and its administration and op eration have been placed under the control o a joint committee of seven. The government has a majority of the members of this body. The commission also has takon over along with the railway lines the whole system of coastwise water con nections along the New Foundiand coast, which heretofore have bden operated jointly by the government and the Newfoundland company. Thus the commission is administering virtually all the transportation facilities of New Foundiand, for both passengers and freight. Favor Permanent Operation. A sum of $1,000,000 in colonial funds has been allotted to the commission to enable it to begin its task cf working out the salvation of the railway system. The commission is expecting to recommend to the next session of the legislature a permanent plan for operation either Dy the government, by private interests, or jointly. These steps were made necessary because the railway lines, which botore the war suffered an average loss of $100,000 a year, in the last five years have been compelled to provide for large increases and expenses, notably for coal and wages. As one of its first problems, the railway com mission is faced with a demand for further wage increases ranging from 20 to 30 per cent. LOCAL MAN, MISSING, LOCATED IN IRELAND What hns become of Morris Horgpn. formerly :in engineer in the G. R. & !.. but who lft on a 60 days leave about July 1. 1920, and hasn't returned. This is the question that has kept his friends anxious for the past several months. Horgan, whose blood runs back 10 old Ireland, decided he wanted to visit the old country, and left Richmond early in July. His leave was to expire about Oct. 1, but when that date arrived, Horgan wos still absent. From the day he left, until today, so far as is known, no word has been received from the missing man. Speculation runs high, and the more imaginative have him Involved in the Irish troubles; probably, -hung, .shot, or in prison on a hunger fctiike. Word was received today, however, by Mrs. Cox, 226 North Ninth sreci. the lady in whose home he rented a room, that he is now located about 17 miles from Cork, Ireland, and cannot leave. Because of the present government conditions, he is not permitted to change his present location. Even mail is held up indefinitely. He wrote that he could not tell when he will be able to get back to his old job on the G. R. & I. Farm Sale Calendar Wednesday, November 24.

An attempt to assassinate Premier Hara was to be made on May 8 last, it was disclosed by the publication of the findings of a preliminary court which tried a former artilleryman named Ito, who was charged with planning an attempt against the premier's person with seven bombs. Ito was hostile to the present cabinet, it was asserted, and came to Tokio, where he bought a revolver and explosives. He made the bombs out of four whisky bottles and three cardboard boxes, but was knocked down accidentally by an automobile and the police discovered the Infernal machine and unraveled the plot. Ito has been remanded to the higher court.

IND TUESDAY, NOV. 23, 1920.

The Farm By WILUAM We wish . to make a correction in view of the omission of a few lines in our market review Monday, in the rush of making up. before going to press. Such accidents seldom occur, but "mistakes will happen," even in the best regulated newspaper offices, despite utmost care. One paragraph referred to should have read: "Despite the decline in grain prices, producers have done little liquidating." This means that they have been holding their grain, regardless of all market flurries and depression. In another paragraph it was stated that "cash oats had sold at 47 not 37 as printed to 48 M cents on Saturday. We also stated that corn had declined CO per cent from the high point in June, and that cash oats had fallen 63 per cent, compared with the high record price in July. Also that various gYains had dropped from 40 to 60 per cent, compared-with the high of the year. This, in brief, was told in the missing lines. Eldorado Buying Corn. We were paying 60 cents for corn last week," said H. L. Trick, of Eldorado, "out since the sharp decline on Saturday have decided that, for the present at least, we can only offer 50 cents per bushel for the new crop. The continued break in grain and hogs has been very much of a surprise to us ond to our farmers, and the question is? How low will prices finally go, unless there is a sudden stop to this liquidation?" Mr. Trick says they are offering $1.50 for wheat and that none is comine in: also that no oats are on offer at any price. Asked as to his coal supply he said they had been able to sell some hard coal at $15 for pea and HI H 1U1 UllfllIUL uU l.au ouite a lot of both sizes. They have Kentucky lumn and Jackson coal in the yards which are selling around $12. The Trick elevator, which has been improved with new machinery and other betterments, tested out its corn shelling outf.t Monday. Report From Milton. The Milton Grain company reports rome coal at its three stations, including Beeson Station and Bentonville. The supply is not large at either point. although they have orders out sufficient for current needs. They bought! a little corn at 60 cents last week but are not likely to pay more than fifty cents this week, unless the market shows a firmer trend. This was the report from their office on Monday afternoon, following the making of a new low on corn at Chicago. Entirely Out of Coal. According to George Richards, of New Paris, they haven't a pound of coal in their bins, and are finding it hard to get any. They have orders for coal out, including anthracite for the farmer's base burner, but it seems a mighty long haul from the anthracite district, with winter at the door and a crying demand for coal. We wish to remark right here that while many have found it difficult to get hard coal there are elevator men in the Richmond radius who have been fortunate enough to have received all the hard coal that their trade has called for ,to date. Still others have gotten in a few cars, while we can name points where their hard coal orders have been reported booked for months and not a ton yet in. It is hard to understand this, birt really, the shipping of hard coal has apparently, like kisses, "gone by favor," this entire season. Getting back to Mr. Richards, of New Paris, be it said that he has been supplying feeders with corn at 75 cents recently, having been able to get in small lots from several farmers at 65 cents of late. No wheat or oats are offered him, and he says that trade in flour and feed is almost nil at this time. Side-Light on Wool Situation. The unsatisfactory situation in the American wool market is discussed by a correspondent of the Breeders' Gazette, of Chicago, in its issue of November 18, as follows, under this caption: Swamping American Wool Growers: "Domestic wool cannot be sold at a reasonable price, it' at all. The majArctics The biggest bargain in Richmond just received: 500 Pairs U. S. Army Arctics 4-Buckle, All-Rubber New price per pair Come early and avoid the rush. THE ORIGINAL U. S.

B. SANBORN i nan in lue lau cup bum is iu growers' hands, but American manuueturers and dealers recently have been . It ...Ml t I heavy buyers at British and Austral-; ian sales, as indicated by the arrival of 3,350,000 bales at Boston, and approximately 1,100,000 pounds from London and Liverpool a fortnight ago. This will undoubtedly lend emphasis to the popular demand among domestic producers for a tariff sufficiently high not only to protect the American industry, but offset the favorable rate of exchange. No argument is needed to demonstrate that the cost of wool exerts little influence on the finished garment, so that a tariff would not actually penalize the consumer. What is needed is an outlet for domes- j tic product that under present conditions cannot be moved, while Boston warehouses are receiving enormous weekly accessions from British markets.
