OIL PRICES CUT A

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, March 12--All oils took a
tumble to-day and landed &c lower. This makes
Indiana oil $l17 per brl. Oil men are looking
gloomy over the frequent cuts IN the price and
are now watching the marketing as anxiOusly as
when the price was going up at the rate of from
&c TO sc a jump. One producer says no one in
the field can tell why the price is decreasing.
unless 1t is to force the sale OF stocks. as the
shipments average about 20. 900 brls more than
the runs. There is strong talk of the larger
producers cooperating into a big company TO
buy and refine oil. This is thought to have
something to do with the falling prices. 1t may
be a scheme OF the Standard TO buck the pro-
posed new company before 1t is organized.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.


This weeks receipts OF hogs show only a slight
improvement over last week. but a gain of over
1000 compared with the same week a year ago
and a little change compared with the corre-
spending week two years ago. The receipts thus
far this year are nearly 1900 larger than the
same time last year, and for the month thus far
there is a gain Of nearly 5000 over the same per-
iod a year ago. For the week ending yesterday
the leading local packers bought a total of 1903
hogs. against II. S5S the preceding week and 1861
the same week a year ago. During the same per
iod the shipments were 5,724, against 3.S0s the
preceding week and 4,2S1 the corresponding week
a year ago.
Both buyers and sellers have had their good
and bad days in the hog market this week, but
the final result was favorable TO statesmen. The
week opened with light receipts and a good de-
mand, which resulted in a rapid advance in
prices, and on Wednesday values were as high
as they had been at any time heretofore this
year, and 25c to 3Oc higher than the close of last
week. Later in the week the conditions in the
general market gave buyers the advantage, and
in two days they succeeded in forcing a decline
OF almost 25c in prices.
there was a rally in the market, and at this time
prices were 1c 10 15c higher than the close OF
last week, but about 1c lower than the high
time in the week. The quality of current offer
ings has been fairly satisfactory; in fact, prop
ably as good as the average az .nS ar1e Of n last et
week on account of the more plentiful supply OF
ordinary grades. Local packers have been OPP
posed TO the advance in values, but the market
almost all week was favored by a demand from
outside sources that was large enough TO be OF
great help to statesmen. The demand has prop
ably been best for the choice medium TO heavy
grades, but the good, strong light weights have
sold relatively as well as others.
THE CATTLE MARKET.
The receipts to-day were small; in fact, there
were not enough fresh arrivals to affect the mar
ket in any way. A few were carried over from
Yesterday, however, and altogether the supply
on sale was a fair average for Saturday. Most
of the offerings were butcher cattle, and with
a steady demand for this class a satisfactory
clearance was made on a basis OF yesterday
prices. Sales to-day included 1.OeO-lb steers al
81. %. heifers at s.. 1OQ4.25, cows at sL75g3.S5 and
calves sold from 50 to $3.50, but 1915 was virtu-
ally the top. Quotations.:

with a few urgent orders in the hands OF ship

higher prices. and rather early in the day the
offerings were changing hands at an advance OF
&C to 10c over yesterday. The transactions that
were 10c higher were confined principally TO the
best heavy grades that were scarce and TO the
light hogs of strong average weight. Ordinary
light hogs. as well as the fair mixed hogs. did
not show as much strength as others, but were
probably no less than sc higher. There were not
