CATTLE and HOGS Dull

All Demands

Decline of to 10 Cents for Most
Grades-Bulk Of Sales Were at $4.eo

Better Prices.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Cattle--A small
Friday supply, but quite sufficient for
all demands. Prices were no better.
There has not been much change in
the prices of the common grassy cat
tie for they were already low and the
fact that the western rangers have not
been coming in freely this week has
helped out the inquiry for that par
ticular class. However, buyers do not
want them, except at low rates.
There was no Improvement in the
outlet and the market had dull tone.

the medium and good stockers and
feeders than week ago.
Hogs.
With 10000 fresh arrivals and 5000
left over last night there was a good
Friday supply and buyers succeeding
in putting prices SOLO cents lower.
Trade was fairly animated at the de-
cline the extreme range being 400
SIS, with the bulk at 4.9o@5.05.

Sheep.
Only 5000 were received today. and
trade was active at further advances.
Best range lambs and feeders were in
urgent demand with very few here.
Demand for sheep is less strong than
for lambs and the latter show most
strength.

Rate War I, Threatened.

Toledo. O., Nov. ia rate war be-
tween Toledo and st. Louis. is promis-
ed after the close Of the st. Louis ex-
position because Of the fact that roads
in the Central Passenger Association
have UP to this time been unable to
agree upon proper differential for the
Glover Leaf railroad. At meeting of
the Central Passenger Association in
Chicago Wednesday,, General Passen-
ger Agent Ross of the Glover Leaf
served notice that unless the differ
entail was agreed upon he would keep
In force the present worlds fair rates
for an indefinite period and that he
would make the rate good from st.
Louis to Toledo as well and use the
rate as basing rate on thru busi-
ness. The Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railroad has refused to agree to
the differential and unless there is a
settlement the rate will go into eff
feet at once upon the close of the fair.

TIME TO FEED CATTLE.
Managers A. G. Leonard Says condi-
lions Auaur Well For Feeders.

Chicago, Nov. ia great amount
of interestfis being manifested by the
country in regard to the government
report of the corn crop, as the extent
and kind of corn has direct bearing
on so many interests of the country,
more particularly the live stock in
dustry. While in conversation with
Arthur G. Leonard, manager of the
Union Stock Yards, a Drovers Journal
representative cleaned the following:
1.-THE government report to be issued
this afternoon will probably show a
corn crop of around 2,500,000,000 bush
els, which yield is about the largest in
the history of this country, and dis
plays an increase of over 150,000,000
bushels with last year. said Mr.. Leon
ard. Not only this, but the quality
will without doubt be high-a very i'm
portant fact with the feeder of live
stock,
mot in years has the handler of cat
tie in the feed lot had such favorable
conditions surrounding him, and it
does seem as tho no mistake will &C
crue from preparing cattle for future
markets.
Everything points to a good, broad
demand for well-fattened cattle for
some time to come, and indications are
for remunerative prices to the feeder.
The election is over and the business
interests can now proceed without that
bindrance that usually precedes ma
t,onal election. Money is fairly easy,
crons Of all kinds PANIED out well and
thew are commanding good values.
which makes farmers prosperous, as
we'll as the whole country. Feeding
cattle are selling some lower than a
,.ear ago. while desirable beef grades
are around 81 higher than a year ago.
Another important factor in favor of
the feeder is that roughness was never
more plentfful. In fact, steer can
stand in it's own tracks and wax fat.
.There has not been the normal num-
~ stocker and feeding cattle sent out

faeaers have been laying low to await
the establishing Of price for the new
WOW If corn. which will very likely be
oro,,nd 20 cents for future delivery
~ 80 which means a smaller number OF

"rraking everything into eonsidera-
+;on conditions do certainly augur

The ORIGIN Of the Word "kicker."

'I believe that the origin of the ex-
pressive bit of slang, lickers' may be
found nthe very lowest form of occu-

Between Wormsley's and st. Hell
ems in Cornwall. is an underground
canal connecting the lower level OF the
coal mines at Wormsley's with the sur
face station at ST. Helen's which saw
es a great deal of money for the mine
owners in handling the coal which is
simply loaded on the barges In the
mines and transported by the canal un-
der the mountains to the harbor of st.
Helen's. When the canal was devised
however, how to provide for locomotion
for th1-e barges was problem.
"Mules couldn't be used, and there
were circumstances which made steam
,ynnossibIe. but an inventive genius
finally solved the riddle by suggesting
that Gloss pieces of timber be placed
along the roof Of the canal which was
verv low, and men could lie on their
hacks on top Of the loaded bar@es and
rsick' the vessel along. After the barge
was once started this was found to be
fea eihle.

Stock Cattle Low.

When thin, light stock steers have
to be sold to packers for Gamer pur-
poses, 1t shows two things. First, that
the supply of this kind of stuff on the
market As much larger than 1t ought to
be, and second, that country buyers
haven't the usual confidence in the fu-
ture. If feed were scarce and the sup
ply of fat cattle in the country I'M
questionably large there would be some
excuse for the apathy now existing but
the facts point the other way. There
is an abundance of feed and fat cat
tie are undoubtedly scarce. Neverthe-
less. the heavy accumulation of thin
stuff continues and now that pretty de-
cent little stock steers can be bought
at $2.00M2.25, there is not enough out
side demand to absorb them all.

Interesting Corn Situation.


Chicago, Nov. 11.-An interesting sit
uation has developed in corn. 1t is bas-
ed primarily on the indisposition Of
fast as everybody else had calculated
he would. Spectators had sold 1t short
at low prices on the theory that the
markets would be flooded. Exporters
sold it for forward delivery abroad
in the belief that cargoes will soor be
pltntiful. Cash grain handlers every
where sold futures as a hedge against
purchases that they expect to make at
lower figures later. Meanwhile last
years crop of old corn has been used
up, and the eastern consumer, dones-
tic Industries In general and the ex-
porter are standing like hungry
horde waiting for q delayed dinner,
while the grower is making up his
mind whether to sell or not. 1t is a
little peculiar that Wall street spec
ulatcrs who bought corn In expectation
of a squeeze in the price became tired
out by the long continued fine weather
and brilliant crop promised and trans
ferred most of their holdings to May
last week. The December corn that
they sold is understood to have drifted
into the hands of the Armour Grain
Company. 1t is little early to talk
manipulation in the December, as the
short still has fifty days in which to
make his contract good. A great deal
can be done in that time toward dry
ing out and delivering new corn on
contracts, but there is not this year as
heretofore any material percentage OF
old corn to use in blending with the
new 70 help make 1t fill the contract
specifications. So far as the feeder is
concerned the present situation is
wholly abnormal.
