GOOD HOGS STEADY TODAY

Prices About 5 Cents Lower - Best
Hogs a Dime Higher Than They
Were Week Ago.

Chicago, July 22.-As usual Satur-
day, receipts We're insignificant, and
prices We're mostly nominal, being
largely rs lower than week ago. with
big heavy lots 25 a 35 lower, and a
similar break in the prices for year.
lings, which have been poorer in quail
ity and more grassy" in appearance.
Cows and heifers shared in the decline
The stocker and heifer market has
been only fair at an average decline of
1925.
Values for the medium and lower
grade steers are down to a point the
lowest in many weeks. and smaller
shipping operations now seem impera-
tive il the present range Is to be held.
Texas stock is coming freely and next
week promises to bring forth a liberal
number of grass western range cattle,
while in the next month the annual big
movement of this class of rangers will
begin, and packers actions in forcing
lower prices for the palmer grade ma
tives in late weeks have evidently
been conducted as discounting meas
ure.
Under the adverse circumstances
which have ruled the trade this week
the poor conditions ruling the market
could not be scored against the five
day market project. Excessive receipts
last Monday completely upset the mar
ket from the outset, because of the
narrow consumptive demand for beef
and the lower prices now in force
have been only a natural consequence
the trade needs were greatly reduced.
Country buyers of stockers and feed
ers have been conspicuous by their
absence this week, and yesterday there
were not enough present to make a
corporal's guard. The market was nat
urally slow and dull, though not quot
ably worse than the previous day and
not so much different from week ago.
The supply on hand was not large, be.

not to accumulate too many and made
their purchases suit the outlet as near
ly as possible. Receipts on hand yes
terday were rather common in quality
and there were no sales made at high
range.
Hogs.
Hogs OF best grades were active at
steady prices. although the supply was
larger than is usually seen on the clos
ing day of the week. Best hogs sold
today a dime higher than week ago.
The class of hogs taken by Chicago
packers moved off slowly today and
sold largely 5 lower. Shippers pur-
chased all possible lots they could find,
taking 4,50O hogs.
Sheep.
The light supply offered today sold
at unchanged prices. Prices have
weakened for both sheep and lambs,
and are materially lower than last
week.

New York, July pr. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade today
says:
Confidence in the future increases
with each day favorable for harvesting
and much of the winter wheat is now
beyond danger, while late corn is rap
idly regaining lost ground. Inquiries
indicate a general disposition to pro-
vide for a large volume Of fall and
winter business, clothing manufactur
ers receiving liberal orders from trav-
cling statesmen while cancellations are
exceptionally few. Real estate trans
fers are large and building operations
numerous, often overtaxing facilities
for delivery Of lumber and other ma
terials. There is comparatively little
interruption from labor disputes and
the net result in all commercial and
manufacturing branches is exception
ally satisfactory for this midsummer
period. Railway earnings thus far re-
ported for July exceed last years by
IA per cent and foreign commerce
at this port alone for the week shoks
gains of s2,105,120 in exports, and 3d.
667,64S in imports, as compared with
the corresponding week in 1904. Col
lections are improving, money is easy
and fluctuations in securities narrow.
Failures this week numbered 1913 in
the United States against 231 last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared with
20 a year ago.
Heat has Effect.
New York, July 22.-Bradstreet's to-
day says: A widespread hot wave has
retarded distributive trade and inter-
fered with manufacturing industry. but
has stimulated crop growth and there
by strengthened the outlook for fall
trade. Wholesale and jobbing trade
is of good volume, considering the
weather and compares we'll with year
ago. Confidence in fall trade is un-
Impaired and there is a more liberal
tendency in placing fall orders. More
activity in pig iron has led to strong
er tone and higher prices for that pro-
duct In leading markets. Manufactur-
ing is really more active than usual at
rhis time, and summer shutdowns are
not such a feature this year as in
former periods. Money has been re-
markedly easy for this season of the
year. The Industrial situation is or
the whole very favorable, labor being
we'll employed.
Wheat, including flour, exports 70,
the week ending July 20, are 7O5,325 bu
against 1,2s1,501 this week last year
From July 1 to date the exports are

Chicago, July 22.-Liberal profit talk

S9N and reacted to S91s. Minneapolis,

Roused Artist from Inactlon.

Phil May, the English artist, who
died not long ago, had fits of laziness
and when suffering from this ailment
found It very difficult to work. On
one occasion he had promised a col

livery passed by, but no design was
forthcoming. The publisher went
hunting for him and found him at a

Mukden, the ancient city, now pass
ed into the control of the Japanese,
was described last August in this
manner by an American war CORE
spondent:
Most cities of China proper have
1912 distinct smells. Mukden has
but 6,214; it has been Russianized
and whenever possible the Russian
has introduced clean streets, some
kind of a sewerage system, orderly
houses; hence Mukden is now known
as the cleanest town Of the many
where the filthy Chinese have pre-
dominated in the past"
Mukden belongs to the province Of
Shingking and on the line of railway
running north it is about half way
between Niuchwang and Kuangchang-
tsu, which belongs to the province OF
Kirin.
Now aside from the fact that Muk-
den holds the sacred tombs of the
ancient Manchu or pure" dynasty it
has other interest in that it has been
one of the worlds central battle
points since LOO years or mora be-
fore Christ.
Where Russian and Japan have
been contesting longer than year,
race after race, and nation after ma
ton, have hurled themselves against
each other for certainly 5000 years.
The soil about Mukden, the ranges of
the Long White Mountain, the great
stretches of gray plains have been
soaked with the blood of tens OF thou
sands of warriors.
It is Golgotha-a place Of bones
and the wraiths of men who have
gone to their final judgment in con-
quest or plumber.
PeopIed Long Before Christ.
Dates In Chinese or Monaghan his
tory are much mixed, but so far as
accuracy can be depended upon Muk-
den was a settlement long before
Christ was born The Prince of
Pohai had some possessions there
about 10 B. c., and at one time Chi
nese allegiance was thrown off en-
tlrely and a centralized government

established with five royal residences.

established with five royal residences,
one of which rose at Mukden.
Then came Khitan from Hulan and
he established the Lao dynasty and
Mukden, not yet very notable place,
but already battletossed, passed into
other hands. Afterward the Jurchin
had their try and they established
the Kin or golden dynasty and made
Mukden a great trading post on the
central highways.
These highways extended up to the
boundaries of the savage tribes on
the north-into He-lung-kiang and
far along the Amur Riyer-extended
south to modern Picking, to Hankow,
to Canton and even into India.
Princes of the royal blood left Muk-
den in those days of the beginnings,
and made two and three year pill
grimages to India to learn strange
things from wise men and to trade IN
jewels and fabrics.
Fifteen hundred years after Christ
was born Nurhachu had his chief seat
of government in the south OF the
Long White mountain, about 100
miles east of Mukden. Mukden itself
had then risen to be one OF the most
important trading points of the
North. 1t has been stated that its
annual volume of business rose into
the millions, and that the wealth and
fashion Of the North congregated
there to bargain, play politics, love
and hate.
Army Was Slaughtered.
In 1916 Mukden saw wonderful
army for those days before its gates.
Nurhachu had taken to himself the
title of "heaven.decreed," and de-
clared war on China. An army OF
100000 was sent against him. but, as
the chroniclers related afterward:
He slaughtered all; none returned
to say Of how their end came"
Mukden was captured by him In

MUKDEN ALWAYS BATTLE POINT
Wars Have Ragged Around the City of Tombs' for More
Than Three Thousand Years.

1921 after terrific fighting and a
slaughter, if we may believe the stat
isticians. that far exceeds what has re
Gently occurred there. All prisoners
taken were promptly beheaded
Llaoyang was captured and made the
capital, and seventy other cities
promptly surrendered.
In 1914 the Manchus, risen to great
power, marched into China and placed
one of their own on the throne of that
government, and a Manchu has ruled
there ever since. In the eighteenth
century Mukden rose to great COM
mercial and political Importance, but
by the time of the opening of the
nineteenth century, through causes
largely due to the decay of the Man
chu dynasty, the city declined in i'm
portance, and when the Russians be-
gan their active control Of the COM
munity, after the Chinese-Japanese
war of 1894, they found it place OF
squalor, filth and disease.
Sacred Tombs Preserved.
The sacred tombs has been pre-
served, but the city was almost iso-
lated from the world; its people indo-
lent, careless, out of touch with the
world. The Russians made it a base
of commercial and military supplies,
introduced some modern methods OF
sanitation and proposed to make it
the halfway station between Port Ar
thur and Hardin.
Now the Japanese have 1t. To
them it may be their northern ter
minal in the new land they will domi-
nate, although in all probability, when
1t comes to making the final treaty,
they will dominate far to the Kuang-
chang-tsu district. Aside from the
Russian population 80 per cent of the
inhabitants of Mukden are Chinese.
The only language taught in the city
schools is Chinese. The Japanese
probably will introduce entirely mod
ern methods of education and COM
merce.
In 5000 years there have been
fought in front of or about Mukden
some twenty-odd noted battles OF the

which requires work and has the use
of ones land whole year without
profit, may be good system in dry
summers, but in wet summers like
1904 and the last three, give me late
summer and fall planting. My spring
plants were put on clean ground, but
rains came on and made it too wet
to go upon with horse and cultivator,
but weeds grew like magic. Being
busy with more pressing work, they
had to be hoed or given to the weeds.
not counting other crops, which
would have to be neglected, 1t would
cost more than the berries would
bring, and so much of the spring plant
ing must be plowed under. Now, let
us look at the August planting. Early
potatoes and bean vines were turned
under August 1. First runners were
set in rows three inches apart August
and would have made matted rows
before frost, | fallowed to do so.-A.
