L|VE STOCK MARKET
Prices of Hogs Take a Big
Tumble.
10 CENTS OFF YESTERDAY
Farmers Got the Best of
the Deal.

The hog market came tumbling down
yesterday in a way that surprised the
buyers and made the sellers feel very
uncomfortable. The opening was weak
to cents lower. and after the quota
tons from eastern markets were posted
prices took another scent drop. There
was good run of wagon hogs and in
of the deal They always come in early,
and that enabled them to sell their hog
before The second decline came. There
Were over two hundred wagon deliveries
sold al only a nickel under Mondays
prices. The car load lots sold at 10
cents OF from the previous day. No
body attempted TO give reason for the
decline, but it was conceded that the En-
gllsh corner on October mess pork was
not having any appreciate effect on
the price Of live hogs, notwithstanding
the fact that hogs are required 10 make
mess pork. Shippers threatened to for
ward their hogs rather than submit to
the lower prices, but upon reflection
concluded to take no further chances.
he men who sold hogs yesterday just
concluded that they had struck break
In the market and the, buyers were not
blamed for the decline. The quality OF
the offerings were fairly good but there
were NO really toppy hogs on the mar
ket although the load that sold above
$50 was good. Sales as low as s4s5
We're for uneven hogs. The market
closed steady to strong at the decline.
There were no predictions yesterday as
TO what the future would reveal in the
way of prices. Nobody seemed to know
what was coming next

WEAKNESS N WHEAT.
Due In Large Degree to Lack
of Public Support.
NOVEMBER CLOSES rs "a
All Other Markets Also Close

Chicago. Oct Slack of public sup
pors was. in a general way. the cause
of weakness in wheat today, November
closing sc lower. Corn closed AG7sc
and oats 4c, and provisions 6Q71zc de-
pressed.
November wheat opened at 76sl to 7615c
and for some time in a dull way man
aged to keep at or above 761zc. Liverpool
was lower and weather in the northwest
favorable for the movement. Mere than
anything, however, the market felt the
lack Of public speculative interest. Brad
streets statement OF q decrease in the
worlds visible of $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with an increase last year of o.
Ozz,000, caused a short-liYed bulge to &c.
This, however, merely served to accent
uate the public apathy and discouraged
bulls sold literally November dropping
to 761sc and closing weak, 5sc under yes
terday, at 7624c. New York reported I
loads taken for export, and 200,009 BUSH
els were reported sold here. Seaooard
clearances in wheat and -four were equal
TO $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts were
$4,000 bushels, compared with 3,46 800
for two days last year. Minneapolis and
week and 1,21S year ago. Local re-
ceipts were 3s4 cars. four OF contract
grade.
Corn was fairly active, but barely
steady, feeling to some extent the weak
ness of wheat. The excellent weather.
q rather tame cash demand and the bull
ish Iowa crop report maxim the corn
yield 100000 bushels greater than any
previous Iowa crop, had a depressing ef-
feet. There was a plentitude of selling
by traders, and on the other hand de-
termined buying of a commission house

Receipts were 731 cars. November sold
between S77s@3S and S79sc, closing A@9sc
lower, at 5715c-
Oats played a thinking part on the
speculative stage and were very dull,
neglected and very much of a wallflower
albeit the tone was steady because of a
few crumbs of comfort cast into the pit
by buyers towards the end of the ses-
sion. Receipts were 453 cars. November
sold between 221 9222sc and 22Ad22Hc
and closed &c lower, at 221sd221lc.
A liberal run of hogs was responsible
for an easy provisions market. Moderate
buying by packers was about the only
business of the day. January pork sold
between $11.S5 and s11.75 and closed 7I5c
lower, at $11.7719; January lard between
$s.95d6. e21a. closing TIC down, at s592t5; ;
January ribs between 1921 and Sc 2715,
with the close 5071zc lower, at IS .271s.

quotations Of pToVis ons. II is for this
reason that 4 good deal of interest o.

made by the Chicago board of trade to
restrict the publication Of its o. ota-
rions. A case was recently brought In
ccnsin to enjon the bucket shops from
using the quotations of the board. On
DENYING the application the court said:
s.rTha bin rests in the theory that the
comp aiuaut has a pr psrty right in tie
quotations made upon the transactions
Of it exchange ard may restrict its use

lations in respect thereto. At common
law the right Of property Of the COM

thereby entitled either to withhold en-
tirelv from publication or TO make the
first publication. Against subsequent
publication the common law affords no
n~otection. and il can be obtained only
THROUGH the statutery copYrtghrS- The
rule is Well established that giving out
the quotations to 2 limited number OF
persons for individual use is not such
publication as will defeat the property

Harness Races at Lexington.

Lexington, KY, Oct. S.GThe weather
was cool today, though bright sunshine
added much to the comfort of the large
crowd in attendance The track was In
fairly good shape and the card afforded
frst-class sport. Gamboy was the favor
lite nthe 2:10 pace but he disappointed his
hackers and the best he could do was to
get second money. TUNA won the first
heat. but was distanced in the fourth,
while the second went to Gamboy in a
close finish with Mark Dermby. Balmy
L. won the next three heats and the race
but she had to step some TO do it. The
time was not as fast as il might have
been the track being rough. The 2:14
trot was a long-drawn-out race, seven
heats, and was a pretty good contest
from start to finish, and although the
time was not fast, the finish in each heat
was close and exciting. The first two
heats went to Prince Of India in brushes
with Major Greer and Niger Jack. Arch
NJ. won 1.-The third and fourth heats but
after that he did not seem to be able to
keep up the clip and Red June won the
next three and the race After two heats
each had been won in the 2:1S trOt by
Wauban and Stranger, respectively. and
one by Molo, the race went over, to be
decided by the heat winners tomorrow.

COTTON.

New York, Oct 9.-The cottou market
started steady in tone, with prices 2
points higher to points lower, this be-
ing favorable opening considering the
unsatisfactory cables and heavy port re-
ceipts. Before midday January had been
pushed to 10.11. and still later rose to
1915, on a bad scare of shorts, together
with brisk investment buying. Some
holders took profits in the last hour, un-
der which selling the market went off
about the opening figures and closed
steady, with August 4 points lower and
other months unchanged to points
higher.
