Record Shows so Per Cent Are
Convicted.

Clipping the wings of the frebugs in
Indiana has resulted in the conviction Of
nine out of every ten persons tried for
arson in the Hoosier State for the last
five years. Records compiled at the office
of Newman T. Miller, State fire marshal.
and announced today show that during
this tive-year period sixty-eight persons
we're convicted of arson out of seventy
four tried on that charge.
This record has placed Indiana at the
head of States in arson prosecution.
State Fire Marshal Miller attributes the
record to the cooperation of public Off
Gals in all parts of the State.
Three classes Of firebugs operated in
Indiana, according to Mr.. Miller "The
first and largest group are persons in
business who apply the torch to collect
insurance, particularly when they face
failure" he said 1.-THE second group are
those who fire buildings for revenge and
the third type are the persons who use
fire to cover up crime.

in the State reached 1SS, with an attend

SWINE PRICES

Packers Display Better De-
mand for All Grades Cattle.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

With the demand fair and receipts
close to 5000, swine prices ruled steady
generally in trade on the local livestock
market today.
Local packers established the market,
but trade was long time getting under
way due to the uncertainty of the early
trend of other markets and due also to
the unwillingness of commission men to
sell their consignments at even steady
prices. Efforts we're made early i'll the
forenoon by the packers to purchase
swine ut lower prices, but the commits
sion men would not yield.
After the start, trade was active and a
fair clearance for the day was antici-
pated.
The bulk of the sales ranged at $715@
7.35.
Trade in cattle was some better than
on the market of the previous day. Re
ceipts were abouM he same and the
quality but little Better than on the pre-
buyers were more disposed to buy than
previously.
Prices generally were steady to strong
but there we're spots that were higher,
Some of the packers stated that good
cows were selling at prices that were all
the way from % to 70 cents higher than
the prices Of the same grades Friday of
last week
Steers were steady generally, as were
heifers. Bulls, however, showed more
strong stops than any other grade of
cattle, being in good demand and the
number of that grade of cattle being
small.
The demand for stockers aud feeders
was about the same as 1t has been for
the past two weeks and there were no
changes in prices.
Due to u weakening in eastern mar
kets, veal prices We're 80 cents lower
generally Choice veals brought Il top
of S11.5O, while the bulk of that grade
sold ut $1050d11. Receipts for the day

Whedt-Early foreign news in wheat
was of a helpful character, but failed to
stimulate new interest in the market
This apathy on the part of the general
trade has been one of the features in
the situation for some time, which con-
dition, in conjunction with Il partic-
ularly poor flour trade and no foreign
demand of Importance, have made the
market sensitive to the weight of cash
wheat as represented by hedging sales
already placed. General liquidation APP
peared under the infupence of matreial
weakness in the cash market at Mime
apOlis, the only demand there being
from elevators for the purpose of de-
that Germany has secured credit from
some source, as there is good export
business in rye and in corn. Financial
necessities compel the purchase of the
and corn. Cash wheat seems to be neg
lected in every market, quotations being
lowered everywhere today 1t may de-
velop in the course of time that import
ing countries will turn their demand
to North America again, but lust Mt the
present there Is more wheat in sight
than the demand can absorb and this fac
tor Is dominant. 1t has again been DEM
onstrated that theories relating to the
distant future are not permanently OPP
eratiye unless cOrroborated by material
facts. The market Is distinctly in need of
Il new motive If confidence of holder is
to be revived.
Corn and Oats-Rather free receipts of
corn, coupled with weakness in wheat
have been responsible for little recess
sion in values. The export sales of corn
have keen liberal judging from surface
conditions. This market alone has sold
at least half a million and we under
stand the demand has appeared in west
ern markets also. Oats have shown better
stability as a reflection of rather SUD
stantiGl character of buying recently.
There seems probability of a steady ex
port business in corn, much larger than
anything heretofore known.
ProYisions-Shippers were again prom
inent buyers of hogs. Products were in
eympathy with action OF hog market. 1t
as true there is no breadth of demand in
the provision market, but on the other
hand offerings at NIL times are small.
