MARKETS

GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Dec. 13. Wheat bears disappointed. Corn and oats well discounted. Wheat firm on large export sales of 10 million in past two weeks. Liberal cash premiums, indifference of deliveries at Chicago, and attempts to revive foreign credits along with a bill at Washington to put a 60c tariff on wheat, 30c on oats, 30c on barley, etc. We do not regard these tariff , and credit moves as serious. Chicago wheat stocks grow from 818,000 to 1,47,000; corn stocks today 1,720,000 vs. 1,837,000 last week. Overnight we expect another day of sharp shanges; would take the buying side for a turn if a closing dip. For the long pull can not figure any serious upturn. About half million wheat worked today.

DEALERS PREPARING FOR 1921 AUTO SHOW So successful was the auto show of the Wayne County Automotive association, last week that already thoughts are being directed toward another such exhibit to be held in the spring of 1921. If this is decided upon the next show probably will be held in the new building of Webb-Coleman, on North Ninth street. Although the first day of the show was marred by inclement weather, the results of the show in the following two days were even beyond expectation. "Ladies Night," and "Carnival Night" proved to be the features of the three-day exhibit. "The purpose of the show was primarily educational," said Fred Bethard, president of the auto dealers' association, Monday, "but it was also a success as an entertaining venture. "We aim to keep the local public supplied with an up-to-date knowledge of the progress of the automobile industry. Without the show which we have just conducted, people would not know what big chances and improvements have been made in automobiles during the past five years. We have showed them the difference in workmanship and construction. The automobile of today is made along simpler lines than form'erly. The lack of complication has been demonstrated." Lynn Shaw, formerly of Richmond, now of Youngstown, O., .addressed members of the association Saturday afternoon, at the show. He urged that they co-operate in their businesses, treating each other as partners, rather than as competitors. Mr. Shaw cited statistics to prove that 1,800.000 automobiles would be needed in 1921 to take the place of cars worn out. PUBLIC BIBLE STUDY IDEA OF MINISTERS Public religious instruction, with the training of Sunday school teachers as the aim, will be started in Richmond shortly after the first of next year. This program was unanimously indorsed at the meeting of the Ministerial association Monday morning. For some weeks it has been the idea of the Ministerial association to back some plan for a more definite religious training than is possible at the various Sunday schools. The unfeasibility of a community Bible school study was shown last Monday morning by Prof. J. H. Bentley, superintendent of the Richmond public schools, in an address before the pastors. The executive committee of the City Sunday School association has been appointed to select a suitable text book for weekly study classes. It is planned for outside speakers to make talks before the assembly. Prof. Alexander C. Purdy of Earlham, it is understood, will be in charge of the religious study course. This movement is not confined to any particular denomination, but is for the united study -of the Bible by all Sunday school teachers and students in the city. The Rev. L. E. Murray, pastor of the First Christian church, read a paper at the association meeting, entitled "Progress Toward Unity." Executive Committee of Friends Meets Dec. 30 December 30 and 31 have been decided upon as the dates for the session of the executive committee of the Friends Five Year meeting, according to an announcement. Consideration of the tentative financial budgets prepared by the various boards of the Five Years meeting will be one of the main matters of business. . Yearly meeting superintendents from all of the meetings are expected to be present. It is probable that the sessions will be held in the South Eighth Street church. ITALIAN FOUND DEAD ELKHART, Ind., Dec. 13. The body of Charles Radi, aged about 30, an Italian whose home was in Bad Axe, Mich., was found here last night with two bulfet holes in his head.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

LIVE STOCKS, MEATS AT NEW LOW LEVELS DURING LAST WEEK BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN The last time that hogs sold, as low as during the past week was in the second week of December, 1916. The average price at Chicago for that week in 1916 was $9.85 per hundred weight, while it wag a nickel lower last week, at $9.80. What has happened at Chicago has been reflected all over the country. It is well to recall, in this connection, that last week's average price on all the hogs received during the week, was $3.40 above that for the second week in December, 1915, that average being but $6.40 per hundred. Remember, too, that the war had been raging for 16 months on above date in 1915, although it was a long time afterward that America took a hand in it. Last week's general average was 40 cents below that of the week previous, which was $10.20. Cattle did a little better, the average price for the week was $11 against $10.75 for the week ending Dec. 4. Comparative Prices. For the same week in 1919 we find that hogs averaged $12.80 and cattle $14.65. For the corresponding week in 1918 hogs averaged $17.56 and cattle $14.50, and in 1917 hogs brought $17.10 and cattle but $11.10, or practically last week's figures on cattle, while hogs were down $7.30, by comparison. More hogs were received at Chicago last week, 217,800, than in any week since January. Moreover, the average weight was 230 pounds. A little figuring will give you the total weight of pork' on foot. Sheep and lambs closed at about the lowest prices in four years in all the central markets, last Saturday. Meat at wholesale is also down accordingly. This particularly applies to Chicago packing house products. Armour issues a public statement to that effect. He said on Saturday that "Wholesale prices of fresh meat cuts, both beef and pork, in fact of all meats, are below the prices that were obtained on April 1, 1917." In continuing Mr. Armour showed that fresh beef carcasses were sold to retailers last week at prices averaging between 14 and 15 cents per pound, "a price almost as low as in 1914." With reference to pork, he stated that "Fresh, light pork loins, the price of which is the index of all pork cuts, sold for 21 cents on Saturday, as compared with the pre-war price of 22 cents. Sweet, pickled and cured pork, at 17 cents per pound average on Saturday, was 3 cents under the price in April, 1917." Indianapolis Live Stock Compared with Saturday, December 4, hogs at Indianapolis were from 75 to 90 cents lower on the 11th. The bulk of all offerings sold at from $9.75 to $9.85, against $10.50 to $10.70, a week ago. Quality pigs brought from $9 to $9.50, with heavy hogs going as low as $9.60. Only 300 cattle were yarded and no good or choice stock was on sale. Calves were in active demand at $12.50 to $13.50 for good ones and at $9.00 to $11.00 for ordinary grades. The small supply of sheep sold around $3 and a few fat lambs went as high as $9.00. Grain Markets Lower December corn on Saturday last sold at from 6S'i to 69. and the range for the week was 68 to 77 Boys' $27.50 Suits and Overcoats, sale price..

cents. The range for the week on December oats was 45 to 50. Wheat had a range of 20 cents on December last week, the high being made on Monday, at $1.80 and the low at $1.60 on Friday. The range on Saturday being from $1.62 to $1.68 and the closing at $1.63 was practically on bottom. Provisions, broke during the week, with hogs on the slide. Mess pork broke $1.10 per barrel and lard from 50 cents to 95 cents per hundred, during the week. GLEN MILLER MARKETS They had a busy week at Glen Miller, a total of 710 hogs, 30 head of cattle and 24 veal calves coming in. Hogs were highest early in the week selling mostly at 10 cents, but at the close on Saturday they had declined to as low as 8 cents. Cattle ranged at 4 to 7 cents during the week and veals ranged at 5 to 11 cents, according to Rome Shurley, who claims that the market "is still rather eoft." Mr. Shurley says: "With the approach of the holidays, when poultry and game is in season, the prospect of an advance on hogs is not very bright As thousands of hogs have been held in the country, In the expectation of a higher market, and should receipts continue as heavy as of late, it is predicted that hogs are likely to sell sell as low as 8 cents, possibly lower." The list of local shippers to Glen Miller last week was quite large, a number of small bunches of hogs and odd veals coming in. Mrs. Edith Howern Hall of Liberty, Succumbs LIBERTY, Ind., Dec. 13.
