HOG PR|CESF FALL
q TO 40 CENTS
Heavy Receipts Account for
Sharp Local Decline,

A sharp break in the hog market
that carried prices downward 20 to
40 cents, occurred in trading at the
local livestock exchange today when
reports from other markets showed
heavy receipts and a general slack
ening of demand. The decline affect
ed the light end chiefly, choice light
weights dropping from top Of $500
on Tuesday to s7.85, with the bulk of
this class selling at $7.75, as COM
pared with $S.15 on Tuesday Light
mixed hogs sold at $7.40@7.65 and
heavyweights up from 81, though
generally from ,s7.25 to $7.35, at
which prices their loss was no more
than a quarter The bulk of the hogs
sold between $40 and S7.75. The
days receipts touched 14,500, inclu-
sive of 1928 followers. Sows and
pigs reflected the drop, sows selling
down from $3.50 and pigs down
from 81.
The cattle market was quotably
steady, though the quality of stock re-
ceived accounted for the difference in
top prices paid for the better stock
Medium steers moved with exceeding
difficulty, though some choice steers
managed OF bring S11, while strictly
prime heifers sold up to $40. Ro-
ceipts, 1900.
Trading in the calf alley was done
at generally lower prices, due to heavy
receipts of 1000. Choice veals com
manded a top of $12, or so cents
lower, while the bulk sold between $11
and $11.50.
A drop Of 80 cents to 81 brought the
top price Of lambs down to $11.50, as
compared with $12.50 on Tuesday,
while sheep held steady at Sc down.

ACORNER
With the
FARMER
By r. WEBB SPARKS

Reports reaching Indianapolis
through newspaper accounts of wheat
yields throughout the State are taken
as indicating a bumper crop in many
sections of Hoosierdom. Thrashing
is already under way in many direc-
lions and receipts at mills grow hea.
vier every day.
That a great many Indiana farmers
intend storing their wheat either in
public or private granaries is also evil
denced by reports reaching the capt.
tai. Such manifest intention is taken
to indicate a generally healthy finan-
cial condition throughout the State,
as farmers in the western wheat grow
ing States, whose incomes are largely
derived from wheat growing, are
much less fortunate, as their livelihood
depends upon immediate realization
on the stocks or some means of OBJ
tanning loans against the grain that
viii carry them over until such time
as values further adjust themselves.
From Logansport comes the report
that a crop yielding forty-three bush
els to the acre was thrashed on the
farm OF n. L. Bess. The grain brought
So cents at the mill. 1t was unoffi-
cially estimated at the machine that
at an arbitrary production cost of 81
a bushel, Bess lost s5.16 an acre on
his wheat while a neighbor OF Bess,
whose field yielded only twenty bush
els to the acre. lost only $2.4o an acre,
on the same basis.
A field of twelve acres on the farm
Of Grant Showalter in Noble Town
ship, Jay County, produced thirty-five
and one-half bushels an acre, yielding
more than 400 bushels.
ninety-six-acre field on the farm
Of Mrs. Boone Power in Rush County
averaged twenty-six bushels an acre
that graded No. at the elevator.
Col. Fred Reppert Of Decatur re-
ported a yield in excess of twenty
five bushels.
Such yields as reported above are
naturally the best in localities in
which thrashing has begun, hut are
regarded as unusual inasmuch as the
yield throughout the State generally
averages around fourteen bushels per
acre.

PROH| LEADERS
FEAR WET CONTROL
OF NEXT CONGRESS
BY G. A. RANDALL

bB IfTue6 Sp6CFuE
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Proh-
bition leaders are becoming concerned
over the possibility that they will be
unable to control the legislative ma
chinery in Congress when the next
session opens in December, owing to
the fact that both in the Senate and
in the House pronounced VETS are
in line for chairmanships of the
Judiciary Committees.
In the Senate, the recent deaths Of
Senator Knute Nelson Of Minnesota,
former Chairman Of the Senate
judiciary Committee, and of Senator
w. P, Dillingham;, ranking Re
publican member of that committee,
have placed Senator Frank B. Bran
degee of Connecticut directly in line
for the craftsmanship.
Unless precedent is broken, Senator
Brandegee will be in a position to
pigeon-hoIe many Of the measures the
days are now drawing up for pres
entation to Congress in the next
session. He not only voted against
the Eighteen@ Amendment, but voted
mo" on the Aolstead Act and also on
the Willis Campbell anti-beer bill. He
is wet, and doesn't care who knows
it, wherein he differs from many other
potential vets.
/ In the House, the judiciary Commit
tee will be headed by representative
George S. Graham Of Pennsylvania,
unless the drys are able 10 muster
enough votes to break the precedent
which is that committee chairman
ships shall go to the highest rank
ing member of the majority party.
In the last Congress this important
committee was headed by Representa-
tive Volstead, and it was in no small
part due to his strategic position in
this capacity that his anti-hquor bill
was piloted through the House.
Like Senator Brandagee, Repre-
sentative Graham Is opposed to pro-
hibition. He voted against the Eight
zenith Amendment and was recorded
as mot voting" on the Volstead act
and the eanti-beer bill.
Legislation bearing on prohibition
questions is bound to come up be-
fore Congress, regardless Of the lean
ings Of committee chairmen, but the
fear of the drys is that their own
special program bearing on more rigid
enforcement and on ship liquor laws
will find heavy going before 1t comes
up for open discussion.

By United Financial
CHICAGO, July 25.-Following a
dull and weak opening, grain prices
rallied and after q sharp advance
firmed up, all grains closing at the
top price of the day.
Following q noon bulge, wheat
prices firmed up. Support was good,
especially from eastern commission
houses. The hedging pressure, which
developed at the opening, causing a
slump in values. was entirely obiter-
ated when sellers. seeking profits, en-
tered the market and found a good
outlet for their supplies.
steady undertone held corn at
the peak of it's advance. Buying was
confined to shorts. Profit-takers were
the only active sellers. Feeder de-
mand was negligible.
Oats, in sympathy with other grains,
flrmed up. The market was devoid Of
any features.
Provisions, lacking any support
closed lower.
