Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone Iull
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in q -pound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries TO sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

WEEKS PACKING OF HOGS.

The Cincinnati Price Current says: The
marketing of hogs is without special
change Total Western packing, $4,000.
compared with 10000 the preceding week
and 10000 two weeks ago. For correspond
ing time last year the number $4,000,
and two years ago 5000. From March l
the total is 5.345.OO0 against 100000 a year
ago, an increase of $4,000. The quality is
generally good. Prices at the close aver
age about 10c per 100 pounds higher than a
week ago, prominent markets indicating
about $40.
The speculative provision market was
only 1alrly active the past week. Toward
the close of the week a firmer tone pre-
vailed, influenced to some extent by the
hrmer tone to the corn market and the
maintenance of prices for hogs, under
1alrly liberal receipts. There were no i'm
portant developments in the general situa-
ton. The export clearances of product
were falr. and show a slight increase over
tne preceding week and decided gain over
the corresponding week last year.

VIII CentraIize Its Yards.

A dispatch TO the Journal from Hammond
says that, according to the statement of an
official of the Michigan Central Railroad
Company, the company intends to central
ize it's three sets of mammoth railroad yards
and locate one central yard in the outskirts
of Hammond. The three yards now used
by the company are located at Kensington,
Michigan City and Lake Station. The task
of moving the yards and shops is expected
to take two years. The site has not yet
been given out, but the first tracks will be
laid soon near Gibson, where the shops will
be located. The Monon Railway already
has built its terminus at South Hammond,
and the Erie is to follow suit near the
site of its immense coal storage plant there.
The new plans, signify that Hammond will
become the greatest railroad shop center in
the West.

DISCOURAGING PROSPECT

worlds Fair Business May Improve
Earnings-PennsyIv Plan for
CurtaiIing Expenses.

A report which is not at all encouraging
to the railroads is to the effect that practi-
cally all the bar iron and bar steel mills
in the Pittsburg, Youngstown and Cleve-
land district will suspend operations on
July for an indefinite period. An official
of the Pennsylvania Railroad said yester-
day that so far the mills of Cleveland
and Youngstown are concerned a shutdown
will likely occur. The United States Steel
Corporation and the Republic Iron and
Steel Company plants will certainly close.
An official of the Baltimore & Ohio said:
1.-The increase and decrease of our forces is
really regulated by the business people.
When we have all the traffic our railroads
can haul we must have the men TO handle
1t. Ii the shippers give us less business we
only have employment for those who are
required TO take care of it, and at present
1T looks as if We would have TO make some

III ore and coal shipments. Lake navigation,
which usually opens about May 3. is still
closed and we are holding traffic for the
lakes all along the line" There has been
heavy falling off in steel and structural
iron shipments. but in the high-class com
modltleS the volume of traffic is fully up TO
normal Regarding lake shipments it is
stated that up to this time last year there
mad been about 200 steamers at Superior
and Duluth unloading about 100000 tons of
coal. Up to the present date this season
there have been only six boats, whose COM
bhed cargoes did not exceed 1000 tons, but
the opinion of the official quoted was that
the lake trouble would soon be remedied.
and that in all lines of freight a normal
volume of business would soon be moving.
and that during the fall months the roads
would have freight sufficient to give en-
ployment TO all the equipment they could
provide. Fortunately the passenger bus
mess is steadily improving, and when the
worlds fair travel fairly sets in the roads

Reduction of Working Time.

Not since the announcement of 10 per
cent. increase in wages. twd years ago.
has there been anything which has given
more satisfaction to the entire body of
shopmen the PENNSYLVANIA lines west
than the order just issued TO reduce shop
expenses, meeting it by reducing the num-
ber of working hours instead of laying off
men and working those who remained on
full time. The employees have felt that a
reduction of some sort would surely come.
and were very anxious lest ii would be done

Hogs-While not equal TO yesterday the
fresh arrivals OF hogs to-day were no
doubt as large as expected and with about
1000 head held over from Thursday the
supply was almost equal to Thursday.
There not really liberal number in
the pens when the market opened and with
an active demand from local packers, en-
couraged by very fair demand from out
side sources. the trading from the start
was reasonably active. and sales for the
most part were at steady prices compared
with yesterdays close. There were Il few
hogs sold late yesterday afternoon at a
trihe lower prices than to-day, but hardly
enough To be taken into consideration. In
q general way the market was fully sc
lower than the best prices of yesterday
Although local packers were not having
es much opposition as yesterday they con-
tinued rather free buyers and all the hogs
that had arrived at IL o'clock were sold.
On the closing market there was less COM
petition between buyers than earlier in the
day, consequently IL required little more
time to consummate sales. but there was
not a great deal III any change in prices
compared with the opening, and buyers in
fimated that very fair clearance would
be made Sales ranged from Si-50u4S0 and
the bulk OF the supply sold at $4.60di 20.

UNION sTocKYARps. INDIANAPo

LIS, June 3--Cattle-The continued up
ward movement i'm prices of cattle caused
fair receipts, but the supply hardly as
large as might have been expected The
proportion of good steers in the arrivals
was again comparatively small and this
was occasion for another advance in values.
There was very strong competition between
all buyers and more than the usual rival
ly 10 secure the offerings. The market was
conservatively quoted fully 10d15c higher
than yesterday. number of instances
were cited IN making comparisons and 1t
was generally admitted that cattle that
sold as high as S5.IO(to-day were no better
than some that sold at $40 Wednesday,
and others that sold at 1915 were probably
about the same kind that sold at S5.25 Tues
day. This. therefore. would indicate much
Improvement in the market, and under
ordinary conditions IL would naturally be
expected that the high point almost
attained for the present. But there are
many dealers who are arguing small sup
plies in the country and there very
few II any who do not believe that the
market is still in very healthy condition
In female butcher cattle the market prices
were very little if any different from yes
terday. The good dry-fed, handy weight
cows and heifers sold full strong. but
aside from that the market generally was
quoted steady and medium grades and
those that were srass-fed and slippery were
very difficult to sell at weak to 25c lower
prices. Buyers are discriminating against
the heavy heifers in favor of the fancy
light grades and there is difference of
perhaps 25c in prices of such kinds. The
market for stockers and feeding cattle
continues very quiet and although there
was probably little better request to-
day. a comparatively small amount of
business transacted and the results
were not generally satisfactory COM
pared with the developments in the fat
cattle market There was a steady demand
for good bulls at former prices and calves
sold usually at steady to strong prices.
