Indiana Pure-Bred Cattle
The government has just sent out
census report on pure-bred cattle in
the United States on January l, 1920.
This interesting statement shows that
the census of that year proved that
but per cent of all the cattle in the
country were pure-breds, the total
number of these being given as 1881,
| 514 head
OF this total Indiana is credited with
50,624, of which 29,509 were beef
breeds and 21,115 dairy cattle. OF the
beef breeds there were 4,807 Aber-
deen-Angus; 6,615 Herefords; 1,183
Polled Durhams; 16,147 Shorthorns
and 757 of all other beef strains.
Pure-Bred Dairy Herds
AS to pure-bred dairy cattle in In
diana we find that there were but 500
Ayrshires and 131 Brown Swiss in the
state. The Guernseys ranked higher,
there being 1,215 of these. The Jer-
seys lead the dairy breeds with 1921
head. against SAT- Holstein-F riesians.
Unbiased dairy animals numbered

Taking the country as whole there
were 52S,621 Holsteins against 231,8 1884

The Dollar in Foreign EXCHANGE

Continuing its display of extraordi-
rary strength, sterling exchange
mounted again yesterday to new high
point for the recovery, the rate for
London sight drafts touching s3.SS1s
which was the closing quotation. This
was an advance of 3a4 cents in the
pound from the close of the previous
day. In week sterling has risen near
ly Id cents.
French and German exchange rates,
which have been exhibiting marked
strength of late, halted yesterday, and
IN the case Of francs there was slight
easing off. Marks held at about the
closing price of the previous day The
action of these exchanges was believed
to reflect uncertainty over the outcome
Of the Paris conference, where the
French are reported to be at logger
heads with the other powers with re-
gard to the amount of German repara-
tions.
Improving international trade condi
tons and continued scarcity of bills
were held to be the dominant factors
contributing to the further rise in
sterling rates. Exchange bankers
talked confidently Of a further recov-
cry above 81, which would establish
the London rate at the figure reached
on the recovery of last spring.
A banker, In discussing the position
Of sterling yesterday, said: "The rise
is due largely to the relief from the
selling pressure which the foreign ex-
change market was subjected to dur
ing December. Concerns which oroi-
narily carry large balances abroad sold
eterling during December and brought
these balances back to America, frss,
so that they could have the cash here
20 use in their business, and, second,
because in selling at $3.50 or there
abouts they could take losses that
would substantirlly reduce their IN
come taxes Large amounts Of grain
also were purchased in America by
England during the fall months, and
the pressure Of these bills has been re-
lieved."

Prospects of Cheaper Sugar

Prospects Of further price reductions
in refined sugar were seen yesterday
in the decline in price of the Cuban

basis of 37s cents a pound, cost and
freight, represented drop to a new
low record for the new crop and al
most to the lowest point established
late last year The freight rate was
reduced from 3S1a cents 100 pounds
to 20 cents. At the same time steam

for delivery at dock from 5000. to
1000 bags day. making a considerable
that the freight rate drop amounts to
approximately so per cent.
