A decidedly mixed tone was In
evidence in the local hog market to-
day, due to irregularity of buying by
shippers and local killers whose
actions were largely governed by
movements in other trading centers.
The market was ~unevenly STEADY,
the opening having been at prices
generally steady on lights, but as
much as 5 to 10 cents lower on some
of the weightier hogs, but some
strength came into the market later
and some droves were believed to
have sold at strong prices. The top
was established at $7.25, a nickel
higher, but the hogs were Of unusual
quality and weighed slightly over 290
pounds. AS on Friday, lights sold
from 1915 to $685. and mixed and
medium hogs from $685. to 81 with
only heavyweights commanding more
than ven money.
The bulk moved from $6.75 to 81.
Sows and pigs were generally steady
with sows at Sc down and pigs at
1925 down. Altogether about $4,000
hogs have passed through the local
market during the week as compared
with a figure slightly under $4,000
for the previous week The decline
in prices over a week ago was
generally 8 to 20 cents. The days
receipts touched 1 1 1000, inclusive Of
528 carryovers.
The cattle market experienced its
usual Saturday dullness due to light
receipts Of less than 100. Trading
was at steady prices. Prime year
lings closed the week fully steady
while the coarse. heavy cattle were
generally a quarter lower, though in
spots as much as a half dollar lower.
Steadiness marked trading in the
calf market due to light receipts and
a continued demand from the East.
Choice veals brought $11.50 and the
bulk $10.50 to $11. Receipts, $50.
A top of S12 was paid for a few
extra choice lambs as compared with
s11.50 on Friday, but the market was
regarded as steady while sheep were
unchanged at Sc down.

PRAIRIE DOMINATES
CURB MARKET TRADE
Stock Jumps Seven Points on Exten-
sion RumOrs.

By United FfnaHcfaL
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Prairie Oil
and Gas dominated the curb market
today by its squirt to POS. up I points.
Much IS being heard in oil circles re-
garding the Prairie's plans for en-
larging it's business in the refining
and market end of the petroleum in
dustry and in addition to the ac-
QUESTION of Producers and Refners
much talk is heard concerning further
mergers with this former standard
Oil Company.
Prairie is to enter into brisk COM
petition with Standard Of Indiana.
Market observers would not be sur
prised to see Prairie take over Cosden
but reports that this would be done
we're denied by J. S. Cosden, presi-
dent.
AS the market advanced, proht-tak-
ing was absorbed and better prices ap.
peared in the oils. Indiana reached
the 60 level, up IL, Illinois Pipe
picked up 31a. Imperial l; Magnolia
uum IL and Humble Is.
The Independent oils also were bet
ter. Gulf States Oil was run up to
S% and Southern States repeated at
20B. Mutual and Cities Service were
steady.
There was little of interest in the
~industrials and the price trend was
irregular. Gold Dust picked up 1 on
the news that the deal with Amer
loan Cation Oil was abO1tt cOmp1eta
Universal Pipe and Radiator issues
were at new high levels. Glen Alden
Coal was a bit better, but there were
recession in Childs' new, Wrigley and
New Jersey Zinc.

No let-up occurred in the trading

Of an increased dividend was not tho

The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-C. g. o. ex-
perienced further pressure in the
early dealings in today's stock market
as a result Of overnight confirmation
Of the news to the effect that the di-
rectors had decided to continue the
S4 dividend. Many traders were car
ry.ng c. & o. in the belief an increase
to a Sc basis would be authorized and
they made haste to unload, carrying
the stock off about 5 points from the
recent gh. This development, how
ever, failed to check the great display
of buoyancy among the industrial spe.
cialties.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-11-24

Stocks maintained a buoyant tone
through the first hour, activity at
rising prices spreading TO new groups
as the forward movement proceeded.
Replogle Steel reached a new high
on the movement rejecting the recent
acceleration Of the pig iron business
and Cast Iron Pipe continued its SEN
sationaI rise. achieving a new high for
the year. This company is an enor-
nous consumer OF pig iron n the
fact the latter market is being deluged
with orders is interpreted to indicate
consumers are preparing for heavy
business.

BIZ Lniifn Nclrs

By JHiftG NClCs
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Possi-
binty Of the next House having a
Democratic Speaker despite a slight
Republican majority, has developed as
a result of the demands of progressive
Republicans for more recognition on
the important standing committees
which frame legislation affecting
taxes, tariff, railroads and agriculture.
While not openly asserting that thag

Gillette, progressives intimate that
they may refrain from voting or vote
for other candidates.
Either course would give the Demo
Gratis a majority for the speakership.
