Chicago. Jan. 9.-Dry weather was
again one of the leading bull factors at
the opening of wheat today. The shorts
| were disappointed over the way Liver
pool followed our markets today and
| covered heavily. Indications are that
this market is heavily short sold. May
opened strong a TO u of a cent up at
S4ss to Sass, and advanced to S4s4, tbs.
present crop record. A great deal Of
selling for profit was done at this figure.
and after small dips the market held
well around Sass. The continent was re-
ported buying wheat and the pit took
on the appearance of the commission
house market, largely controlled by out
sGers
AT the high prices some of the early
buyers began to sell to secure profits
and the crowd followed, throwing orders
out for heavy sales. May declined rap
idly and closed weak asQ1. of a cent
lower at s3ssQS3A.
Corn opened steady and grew frmer
in sympathy with wheat. The trade wa
moderate to start with. but on the adj
vance heavy selling orders brought a
small reaction. Liverpool was slightly
'ower on the poor cash demand. May
opened unchanged to shade higher at
6iB@67h4 and sold to 67A@673s. There
was dir, to 67, but at the end of the
first hour the price was 6ils.
Corn felt the influence of the wheat
break and closed weak at the bottom
figure for the day, ssQ& of cent off at
e6& @661a.
Oats opened strong, with heavy
trade on the bull movement in July. Of
ferings were very small and several
large professionals took on heavy long
lines. July soon advanced a cent over
last night at 42ss May had some de-
mand. but was comparatively neglected,
opening shade to A@a* of cent up a,
AZ to 47l4 and selling to AIS on the July
strength but easing off to AZ.
Provisions We're firm. at the opening
slightly higher with grains and the bet
.er prices for hogs. Heavy sales of lard
We're reported, but made little impress
sion on the market.

Market Gossip.

/ Chicago, Jan. 9.--Last week, for the
| first time in several months, the aver
age weight of hogs showed a little gain
| over the previous week. 1t has been the
! rule almost ever since the middle OF
| September that the average weight has
dropped down a little each week, until
for the last week in September the
| weight was only 1876 pounds. Last week
the average was 200 pounds. but it re-
| mains to be seen whether this is the
end of decreasing weight. Logically it
would seem that the limit has been
reached and that the weight should
show some increase from this time on.
One Of the head hog buyers for one Of
the large concerns gave out the order
yesterday morning that IL all the buy
ers held together they could force an
other 10Q20 cent break In prices today.
Some eff the killers stood pat. while
some did not, much to the disgust of
the aforesaid head hog buyer" He
found other stockers were willing to
buy hogs at 5@10 cents reduction and
were getting cream of the offerings.
Later these wise people" had to buy
their hogs at steady to 5. cents lower
prices, and to take the second-class Of
ferings.
NJ C. Campbell, chairman OF the
Kansas live stock sanitary board and a
prominent stockman. said In the Drov-
ers' Telegram: There are as not to
exceed 40 per cent of the usual number
of cattle on feed in the Sunflower state.
The western half of the state has its
full quota of cattle. The shortage is
in the eastern half or the state. from
which cattle were forced to market last
summer by the drought. There will be
a heavy falling off of corn-fed cattle
for few months. but there will be a
liberal supply of hay-fed cattle, and
cattle from the ranges and wheat pas
lures which will be in good condition
for slaughter"
According to the Denver Record
Stockman, Colorado lamb feeders are
looking less worried just at present,
and seem to know where they are at"
row, since fat lambs are selling in CHI
cago arour.l Sc. Feeders say it takes
considerable nerve to feed corn at SIPS
lambs that cost 1925 in the feed lots,
and then watch them sell at prices less
than they cost. They say 1t will take
ABOUT 81 TO make tEe Ieeuer sure Oh
profit this season.

SUSTAINS BAD INJURIES
IN A RUNAWAY
Al Penning, Farmer of the Mckee.
Loses Control of His Team on
South Second Street.

On his way into town this morning
from the Mckee valley, A. J. Penning,
farmer OF that vicinity, while on South
Second street, lost control of his team
driven to heavy wagon and was thrown
to the ground, sustaining a broken rib
and internal injuries.
The horses began a stiff run for Yaki-
ma avenue, but when opposite Whitson
& Parker's law office swerved to the left
and ran into a post, to which another
team was standing tied. The remarka-
bic feature OF the runaway was the fact
that the tongue OF the wagon struck
square against the hilching post and
stopped the whole outfit.
1t was at this time Mr.. Penning was
thrown out upon the rough street. The
team that was standing tied did not
break away from the post. Mr.. Pen
ming was carried into Roaf's drug store,
and when his Injuries were discovered to
be serious was taken to the hospital.

The first hop samples to be sent out
this season to eastern factors were sent
by A. E. Poole on Saturday. They were
from the Knox yard at Tampico and are
said to have been very choice.
The hop growers of the Yakima valley
are rejoicing over the prospects of get
ting good price for their crops. D. f.
Lesh, OF the Mckee company, has con-
tracted 800 bales at % cents per pound.
Other parties have refused to contract
at 80 cents, and the present indications
are that hops will go to 40 cents.-Prosser
Record.
A strike among the Indian pickers in
the hop yards of the Mckee company
occurred Monday morning. They held
out for 81 .25 box, but were promptly
informed that it would not be paid.
About so left, but the balance returned
to work. The white pickers took no
part in the strike, being satisfied with
the ruling price OF 81 per box.

THE HOP SITUATION
IN YAKIMA COUNTY
Prices are Soaring Away Up Above
the Expectations of the Most
Sanguine Growers.

Since the hop-picking season has
opened in earnest and prices have been
constantly increasing the question that
arises in the minds of the people is,
"will the yield in the county be H. large
as usual?' There is dissenting opn-
to the yield Of this years crop. Some
of the prominent growers in the valley
seem to believe that not only the price
per pound will be the highest paid in
many years but the yield per acre will
far exceed that of last year and the year
before. Ranches up the Ahtanum it is
estimated will bring on an average of Il
ton to the acre.
Senator Lesh of the Mckee company
said, 81 am OF the opinion that the av-
