GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Dec 20. Grain news a little easy. Wheat and corn receipts large. London reports Berious bank failure. Stock market Inclined to sag. Export wheat business show and one half million so far looks as if the Dec. 5 to 20 large export demand merely a rush to discount the wheat and corn tariff. For long distance we cannot figure any permanent wheat support on tariff or supposed war finance revival movement. We regard corn and oats a purcase on breaks and cheap. Overnight the news foreshadows a dip In grains. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A. CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Dec. 20. Following is

RICHMOND SINGING SOCIETY IS MERGED Consolidation of the Richmond Singing society with the Beneficial Union, announced Monday, brings to an end the activities of an old German society of Richmond. The Beneficial Union is a local German insurance company headed by J. Henry Bode. Organized in the year 1852 under the name of the Liederkranz, the singing society was reorganized several times, and during its life was known as the Beethoven Liederkranz, Richmond Maennerchor, and at the time of its dissolution the Richmond Singing society. Its last set of officers included J. Henry Bode, president; Chris Fulle, secretary, and Mratin Bulach, treasurer. About $300 now in the treasury of the old society is to be sent to Central Europe for relief purposes. The old furniture and other equipment, including a piano, have been turned over in trust to the Beneficial Union. In the event that a similar organization ever is founded, this equipment will go to the new body. Matthew Von Pein, president board of works, is said to be the oldest member of the organization in Richmond. He spoke enthusiastically Monday, about the great times the members formerly enjoyed. Some of the best singers in the city, he said, were members of that old German society, whose purpose it was to cultivate good German music. To the best of his knowledge, Joseph Martisehang was the rst director of the association. Mr. Von Pein was a trustee of the order when it merged into the Beneficial Union. There were about 40 active members.

The Y. M. C. A. of Earlham college gave their annual Christmas party for the North End Mission, Saturday aft

ernoon. The party was held in the gymnasium and was attended by about 100 children each of which received a present. For nearly 20 years it has been the custom for. the members of the Y. W. C. A. at the college to entertain the children from the Mission at Christmas in addition to the work done by the girls at the Mission during the year. This Mission work Is one of the main activities of the Spcial Service committee of the Y. W. Most of the work in the city carried on by the committee is done at the North End Mission for the children there. For years it has been the way in which the girls at the college expressed themselves among the city's poor. The committee this year is under the lead

ership of Eleanor Bly who has had t cent

considerable experience in the Mission work having been active in the work there last summer.

By WILLIAM R.SANBORN Fourteen carloads of live stock were shipped from the' Glen Miller yards last week, and the net paid to shippers was $20,439.79. This is a tidy sum, surely, but at that It does not compare with the amount of money paid out in the same week of 1919. More than $12,000 more was paid out last year, in spite of the fact that considerable more live stock came in this year than last. This is given by way of illustration of the decline in prices, compared with one year ago. It exemplifies the losses Incurred by farmers despite the fact that feed and hay has cost, until recently, as much as in the fall of 1919. True, feeding costs are somewhat lower at this time but the fact that $7 corn has been fed to a lot of the hogs now coming in must not be lost sight of. Hogs Bought at $8. Jerome Shurley said on Monday that they had taken in a raft of hogs last

week, a large per cent of them on Saturday, which had cost them but $8. Earlier in the week they had paid from $9 to $9.50 for the same class of stock. Calves sold at from $6 to $10 and some fair steers at $7. The receipts during the week were 922 hogs, 41 calves and 18 cattle There were no sheep disposed of but a rather nice bunch of lambs were marketed, averaging around 80 pounds at 7 cents. The hogs sold for $18,383.14. the calves brought $907, and the cattle $1,073.20. Col. Tom Conniff, auctioneer and farmer, marketed 70 hogs on Saturday and received a check for $1,672. He was the largest customer at the yards last week. Joe Brower, of Boston township, marketed 43 hogs and was paid $944: Bert Hunt of Fountain City received $828 for 56 head. Bert Skinner, of Lynn, sold just an even one hundred hogs and collected $1,529. John Ward, of Lynn, marketed 40 head, weighing 7,810 pounds, for which he was paid $663.85, and Lawrence Mitchell collect ed $533.36 on 22 hogs, weighing 6,670 pounds. The farmers of Wayne were liberally represented at Glen Miller last week, many of them cleaning out a few odds and ends in cattle, hogs and calves. Price Range at Chicago. The average price of good beef cattle at Chicago was $9.50 per hundred pounds, for the six days ending on Saturday. This was $1.50 below the figures prevailing during the week end

ing, Dec. 11. and exactly $1.50 under the average price for the same week in 1919, when the price figure stooC at $11. There have been many ups and downs in cattle during the past 12, months. We have had a very specula- -tive market, covering a broad range. : More than 67,000 cattle were yarded ! at Chicago last week, against 81,000 !

The annual winter meeting of the Indiana Cattle Feeders' association was held at Purdue on Saturday, at which time 70 head of 2-year-old steers went on feed. The steers were purchased by the university for their usual winter feeding experimental work. C. C. Fisher, of Union City, is president of the association, and was the first speaker on the program on Saturday morning. His talk was in relation to the beef cattle situation. F. C. King, secretary-treasurer, followed with a presentation of what the feeding experiments have so fa developed. The cattle were next inspected. There were three commission men on the Saturday afternoon program, two of them from Chicago, the third from Indianapolis. M. H. Overman, of Purdue, spoke of what had been accomplished through the feeding experiments in the last two years. He stated that the Purdue ration of corn

seven western markets for the year to date is 10,191,000. It is of interest to note that nearly 2,000,000 more cattle were received at these seven markets in 1919 than during current year, also that but 21,620,-0-0 hogs have been received at these markets this year, against 24,350,000 for the same time last year. The arrivals of sheep, at 10,851,000 are more than 3,000,000 head short of the 1919 arrivals, to Dec. 18. Average Price of Hogs $9.10. Receipts of hogs at Chicago last week were the second highest since January last. The week's average price was $9.10, the lowest since February, 1916. Light hogs met with a lively shipping demand, and the best of these made a top of $9.50 on Saturday, the hog top for the day. A comparison shows that good beef cattle sold but 40 cents above the weekly average on bogs. Grain Market. There was considerable export buying last week, nearly 10 000.000 bushels of wheat being sold abroad. The British commission was in the market nearly all week, and a lot of Southern wheat was taken at Gulf ports at a premium of 31 cents per bushel over March delivery Chicago prices. The Tact is our export surplus of wheat Is rapidly melting, and it looks as if our local millers will have to pay considerably more later for what the foreigners are buying so cheaply at this time. Nearly 30,000,000 bushels of wheat have been purchased by exporters during the past three weeks, including Canadian grain.

R. SANBORN silage, clover hay, cottonseed meal and shelled corn, has come to be regarded as the standard for Indiana farmers. Vegetable Growers Organize. The preliminary organization of vegetable growers, recently formed at Indianapolis, will be completed in permanent form at Purdue during the farmers' short course session in January. About 200 of the market gardeners, etc., former the preliminary organization. Matters of Interest to greenhouse men and truck growers generally, will be discussed at the Purdue meeting. A Lucky Man. A statistical sharp who owned a pint cup and, fortunate man, also a spare dozen of eggs, tells us that one dozen of eggs contain approximately

one pint of water. That being the case we are paying a pretty stiff price for water with eggs at 80 cents per dozen. There must be considerable variation in that dose of water, for some eggs will weigh one-fourth more than others. State Beekeepers Meet. At the Indiana State Beekeepers' association meeting at Indianapolis last week, it was announced that the convention of the American Honey Producers' League will be held in that city on February 15, 16 and 17, 1921 Mason J. Niblack. president, stated that the Indiana association had made great strides during the last year, and attributed the growth of the organization "to the efforts of a few men who are connected with the state department." He urged that all interested in bee culture should impress their senators and representatives with the need of appropriations for the furthering of the bee industry in Indiana. The Financial Viewpoint. In every consideration of the grain markets, the financial situation is to be taken into account. Conservative traders are now of the opinion that all depressing factors, mainly the poor financial and economic conditions, have for the time being been largely discounted, so far as these relate to the price of grain. The feeling is growing that prices have been forced down too rapidly. That the farmer has a just grievance and good reason for complaining.

The market now has a two-sided ap-! pearance. The selling pressure has been greatly lessened. As an Indiana j man declared at Chicago: "The farm-i ers have declared a moratorium, Buch as the bankers declared in 1907. They :

will pay up when they sell their grain, when prices are more satisfactory." Are Holding Grain. ' Considerable grain is filtering into the central markets, but all primary receipts are below the average. A fair

amount of wheat Is being marketed in Kansas at around $1.40 to $1.50 at country points. This is not in accordance with the advice of farm leaders, but it is a fact nevertueiess. Nor must we forget that corn at Chicago is down to the 1913 level, and oats nearly so. We may not have heavy buying at rapidly advancing prices, but prices should go higher it the farmer feeds the market and does not get scared and dump his grain. This is no time to get panicky. A whole lot of people the world over artshort of bread. The time will come when their own harvests are exhausted. PosEibly the exchange situation will be much better by then. At all events people will not go hungry if they can ship in supplies. In the meanwhile the 1921 crops are still to be grown. The acreage has been reduced on winter wheat, and if low prices prevail at planting time we may look for the same action as to corn.
