Hogs-The receipts of hogs to-day were
comparatively liberal for Thursday mar
ket. and following the weaker develop
ments at the close yesterday the opening
to-day was characterized by rather eau
tious bidding from all buyers. There was
a very fair demand from shippers, but il
was evident that the supply was entirely
large enough to meet all requirements and
unevenly lower prices were being offered.
Reports from other markets were not very
favorable. consequently statesmen felt that
they would be justified In making reason
able concessions. and basis for operations
was soon esta bished Practically from the
start transactions represented a decline of
fully &c on the average, as compared with
yesterday and frequently the market was
reported 10c lower than the best sales of
yesterday. In fact all dealers, both on
the buying and selling side. quoted the
market from the start sc to 10c lower with
the average a big sc below yesterdays
average. As usual or a declining market
local packers were liberal buyers. which
made II very difficult for shippers to exc
cute their orders. Consequently they got
a smaller proportion of the hogs than they
have for several days past. Prices at the
decline appeared to be generally satisfac-
tory. and while the closing market was
naturally trifie quiet the last sales did
not show any quotable change In prices
as compared with the opening. and a good
range in prices was from $4.50Q490 and a
very large percentage of the supply sold
at A-4J04S- Quotations:

a very fair variety of stock was represent

RETRENCHMENT PROBLEM
OFFICIALS TROUBLED WHERE TO
BEGIN AND WHERE TO STOP.
Erie Freight OmciaIs Will Hold n
Meeting Here TO-Day-President
Ingalls, Wants Clean Stations.

There Is a hesitating tendency in gross
earnings of the railroads which is turning
attention once more to the problem of
economy. Following the rush of business
in the past six years, economies to some
extent have been overlooked. and the fac
ulty of reducing expenses widely is. one
of the biggest questions railroad managers
have to contend with Railroads in the
East do not know how to reduce expenses
as the railroads of the West have learned
to do in the schools of adversely. Action
is too slow. precedent has too much
weight. organizations in the East have
older prerogatives with which to deal and
there is less flexibility and less power of
initiative and adjustment. Retrenchment
is often best performed by newcomer on
the property. as in the case of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford. One of the
first difficulties a railroad man has to con-
slider in discussing retrenchment is to know
for what period he is to operate on a cur
tailed schedule, for there is great elasticity
in the current requirements in mainte-
nance of way, maintenance of equipment
and the staff necessary to handle the VOL
ulne OF business. For a few weeks machn-
cry Is put 10 severe test, which IL would
not be possible to maintain longer than a
few months. Fortunately. most of the
equipment is new, and expenses can be
reduced in that direction, but in a short
time locomotives and cars become i'm need
OF repairs, expenses must again be in
creased, and the roads prefer to have ex-
perienced men to do the work. Many traf-
nc men think the present dull times will
be OF short duration, and do not look for
the rush or business of a year ago, but
they anticipate that there will be business
enough TO keep every locomotive and every
car IN sefvlcetuntil at least the coming fall.

department statesmen succeeded In adVanc-
Ing yesterdays prices about 10c TO l5c.
There were occasional sales, however, that
did not appear 10 be much higher. and the
market for cattle that were a little below
the standard in quality or fat was reported
just about steady. There was also an ac-
tive market for female butcher cattle at

Improvement. OF course some of the best
selections appeared TO be trifie high, but
such sales were usually exceptions. The
demand for feeding cattle continues very
light and, in fact. there was practically
no Inquiry to-day from country sources.
Therefore professional buyers were very
slow In trading, and the tendency in the
market undoubtedly lower. The de-
mand for bulls was about steady at former
prices, and aside from a few sales of fancy
calves, the market was generally 25c lower
than yesterday. There has been very
good advance in prices of the best cattle
here this week and on their present basis
values are higher than they have been at
any time recently. There seemed TO be
feeling, however, that the urgent require
ments will soon be supplied and, therefore,
dealers are fearful that any considerable
increase in receipts will result in some re-
action in prices. Quotations:

3 President Ingalls,, of the Big Four, de-
sires cleanliness and neatness above all
things. and his aversion to dust and smoke
leads to radical changes in stations along
the line and in the passenger equipment
or the road. On his last visit to Cleve-
land he was detained in a station waiting
for connections, and he thoroughly real
lied the unhealthy and unsatisfactory con-
dition of the Cleveland Union Station
especially the cloud of smoke that hangs
over the interior of the structure, and as
a result of his observation he has set on
foot plans looking to the elimination of
the smoke in that station. 1t is understood
he proposes to substitute electric locomo-
uVes In place of steam all trains enter
ing the station, but will not attempt to do
general switching in the yards adjacent to
the station with electric locomotives Mr.
ingalls, expressed his displeasure to local
railroad officials over the conditions He
said the Big Four is a road that devotes
a great deal of time to the care of its
station property. and inculcates neatness
in the minds of its employees. Mr.. ingalls,
Is great stickler for all things that go
to improve the appearance of public prop
erty, and this interest has worked to ad-
vantage among employees. He told the rail-
road men at Cleveland that the conditions
must be improved, and plans are being
made already to effect such Improvement
