Cut7Down But One.

In their desire to escape showers Of
cotton, some people are cutting down all
their cottonwood trees. This is unneces-
sary says Prof. Bolley. Those trees
having a slim, pendulant flower cluster
dark purple or red in color should be
spared. These flowers soon fall and
never develop cotton. Some cotton
woods, however, bear shorter green
flower clusters which do not fall, but, re-
naming on the tree, develop the dreaded
cotton. Cut down then only the cotton
woods having green flowers.

TRACING WESTERN CARS

Pittsburg advices state that car
tracers have been sent to San Fran
cisco by the. Pennsylvania and the Bal
time q Ohio Railroad companies to
make sure that there is no delay in I'M
Loading the material sent from the east
to be used in rebuilding that city. Dur
ing last month eastern roads have been
sending more than 700 cars daily to
the Pacific coast and railroad officials
fear a shortage will result in the east
unless steps are taken to prevent delay
in unloading and starting the cars
homeward So far only a comparative
ly small amount of structural material
has been started for Frisco and the
railroad officials say that when the
shipment Of this material does begin
more than 1000 cars will be used daily.
This matter is causing eastern railroad
officials a great deal of uneasiness. It
is impossible to send freight car from
here to Frisco and have it returned
within four or five weeks and this
means that many thousands of freight
ears will be on foreign lines at one
time when the real heavy shipments
begin. The Baltimore & Ohio has an
order for forty cars to be used in ship
ping glass alone from Washington, Pa,
to the coast. Unless something is done
to relieve the situation it is probable
that the shipments to the coast will
be checked.

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

There has been a moderate run of
cattle this week, and good proper
ton Of the arrivals were of the beef
classes. Offerings Of killing cattle
were welcomed, and buyers took every
thing and looked for more. Demand
continued strong for granted stuff, Of
which the largest part of the offerings
consisted. -.
Prices showed no quotable change
this week, the tone being very good,
and stuff selling on the level prevailing
for some time. Grassy cows began to
appear in numbers, and buyers took
them at lower prices. A few dryfed
steers were on the market. Good
steers sold mostly from $3.50 to 1915,
there being scarcity Of very good to
choice stuff. Good COWS sold generally
from $3.50 to $40, with some around
1925. Veal. calves were steady, sew
eral very choice punches being sold at
$500, but top was practically $4.25.
Butcher and bologna bulls We're steady.
The stocker and feeder market was
vailed turnout the week. Good de
mand continued, and offerings moved
readily. There was large attendance
of buyers and occasional spots Of
strength. The general market was
steady with the preceding week, sales
men finding no difficulty in moving all
grades. Good feeding steers and stock
steers sold quickly, and the fair to
medium grades also were good sellers.
Feeding COWS were strong the first days,
but weakened toward the close. Bulls
were steady. ~ ~
While the run of hogs has been mod
crate the supply has not been equal to
the showing of recent weeks. The
strong demand which has been the fea-
ture Of the market continued, and buy
ers We're wanting more hogs than were
available. Bacon hogs are still in urg-
ent demand. Prices made gain of S
to 10 cents on Wednesday,, after being
steady, to strong the first days. That
advance restored values to the level of
the best time Of the preceding week.
Quality was generally fair to good.
The sheep market has been rather
quiet this week, the situation being
without new feature. A large share of
the arrivals consisted Of lambs, and
the quality was very good. There was
good demand, and larger offerings
would have moved very rapidly. Buy
ers did not take SO many sheep from
feed lots as they have done up to this
time. Prices were steady thruout the
week, altho the test was Comparatively
limited. Choice ewes sold at $5.40
with good ewes around $5.25. There
were few weathers on the market
Choice weathers, as the past week
were quoted at 1915. The lamb marke1
was steady, some loads of choice stuff
selling at $6:40, with fair lambs a.
$40 and $3.50.

The run of cattle this week shows
good increase over last and the
gain being made in fat cattle. While
the tendency OF the market has been
lower this condition has prevailed at
all points owing to the Hberality of
receipts and at the same time this
market has not shown the severe
breaks at other points. Packers have
peer, good buyers and cleaned up each
days marketing in short order. The
market opened the week a dime higher.
put since then the advance has been
lost and closing quotations were about
iOc lower than last week. Beeves Of
talr to good quality comprised the big
share, of the week IS marketing, sold
at $4.75M5 and the better grades Il Of
steers up to $5.25. Butcher stock com
pr!sed only a small share of the re-
ceiptss, but the quality Of the offerings
was desirable and they sold at range
of 1913 04.50. '1&CE
Stoeker, and feeder trade showed i'm
provement and country demand took
care OF the supply in good shape. Val
prices ruled l0Ml5c higher than last
weeks close. The advance was largely
lson the strong weight yearlings's and
stockers of 700 to 8OO" pounds The
little lightweight steers sold steady
with last week, but this class of cattle
IS not selling to as good advantage as
two weeks ago: Yard traders have taken
care Of the limited marketing and in
turn have managed to make good
cleanup in their division. The few
ssttockers received sold at $375@4.2O.
The good yearlings sold at $3.SO@4.3O
! and the fair grades at $3.50M3.75. The
| lightweight calves and inferior year
lings sold at $3@3.50. Stock heifers
| have been in demand selling at -$2.50@
| 1926 . :. - SOL, ~
Receipts have been liberal with close
to $4,000 head for the week. For the
first half Of the week values advanced
and on Wednesday prices ruled 5(01Oc
higher than last week IS close. On Thurs
day there was weakness and later the
earlier advance Of the week was lost
Hogs sold at $6.2O@6.3O with the bulk
of the sales at $6.25@6.27b, which is
barely steady with last weeks closing
quotations. Liberal marketing of hogs
may. be looked for during the balance
Of the month and while severe breaks
may affect the trade on days of lib
eral receipts, the big demand for the
products should keep values around
prevailing quotations.

abroad for shipment to this country has
been received. Out of the aggregate
Of $5o,00O,OO taken for import less
than $3,00O,000 remains to be accounted
for. Conditions in the foreign eX-
change market do not encourage the ex-
pectation of additional imports OF gold
at present, and it is not believed that
the necessity will arise for further as
sistance from abroad until the fall,
when, in the event of large crops, there
doubtless will be call on the foreign
banks for further shipments of gold to
this side of the Atlantic. -

sPEN GERS ESTATE LARGE

The will Of the late Corwin H.
Spencer, the st. Louis grain trader,
well known on the Minneapolis floor.
has been filed for probate in st. Louis
without precise statement as to the
value thereof. The residue, after pro-
vision for wife, son, and four daugh-
tiers, is estimated at $1,50O,00O, But
might be much larger, that part Of the
wording of the will bearing upon hold
ings of securities being somewhat in
definite,
Spencer was reputed to be one of the
wealthiest men in st. Louis, but as is
often the case, his fortune was in all
probability overestimated. For the rea-
son that he was actively interested in
the grain markets and in stocks, and
spoke freely Of his position at times and
made no secret of the fact that he
was a Spectator, there was more than
ordinary interest in his will, rumor hav-
ing started after his death that he was
long on stock on great decline in
Wall street, and that he lost heavily
and the impression gained ground that
this may in some way have affected him
physically.
The fact that he left so large an es-
tate will serve to quiet all such gossip
Spencer was a speculator, but not a
! plunger,, and he was shrewd enough to
| take care of his money.

all but the good to choice heavy feed

failure of the shipping demand to make
corresponding expansion, local hog

at $6.45@6.5o. Prevailing prices are
highly remunerative to producers, how
ever, and well-posted men in the trade
do not favor the idea of much lower

is generally conceded that there are on
excessive supplies of hogs in the coun-
try, while consumptlve demand here,
as well as abroad, is remarkably good,

CHICAGO'S COMPLAINT

Chicago correspondence of the Wall
Street Journal says that traffic officials
Of eastern and western lines have been
comforting on demands of the Chicago
board Of trade and local grain and mill
ing interests generally,for equality with
other centers, especially Minneapolis,
in the matter of milling in transit rates.
Chicago it is said, is at a disadvantage
as compared with Minneapolis and 9TH
er western milling centers. There are
only two small -four. mills in Chicago,
with combined daily capacity Of $500
barrels. The amount the Chicago COM
ment says, should be ten times as
large. Chicago's elevator capacity is
$685. 900 bushels, or 100000 bushels
less than year ago, the Atchison ele-
vator having burned last year and the
Galena elevator is torn down. More
recently the destruction Of the Ar
mour house occurred, and it will prob
ably not be rebuilt. At one time the
elevator capacity was nearly 10000 900.
Today Chicago is the second elevator
town in the country.
A fact that the Chicago grain inter
ests are impressing on the railroads is
the large growth of Chicago as lake
shipping port. Chicago is the seventh
port in the world. The total tonnage

CHICAGO MERCHANTS EXCITED
Missouri River Towns Turn a
Trick ON Freight
Rates.

CHICAGO Jan. 1s.--(Special Telegram.)-
Chicago merchants are wrought UP over n
rumor which they have run down and find
to be well founded that the merchants Of
Omaha, Kansas City st. Joseph and Mis-
souri, river towns are about to enter into
a contract with the Great Western railroad
for oommoditv rate on dry goods between,
Chicago and the Missouri river. The rner-
chants here feel that this is a direct blow
at their interests; that 1t is another case of
unjust discrimination against Chicago on
the part of the Great Western, and they
are making preparations to combat IT,
While II is understood that the contract
has not been made yet, II can be stated on
competent authority that the negotiations
have been carried on almost to the point of
completion and the announcement of the
new rates can be looked for at an early
date.
The Chicago merchants have been cogni-
zant for several weeks OF the attempt on
the part of the Missouri river merchants 10
interest some railroad or railroads in their
project. II Is said that only two roads, the
Wabash and Great Western, have consid-
| cred the offer at all. and yesterday It was
declared that the Wabash had withdrawn
, entirely from the negotiations. The PROPOSE
tion Is similar one to the contract agree
ment which exists between the Missouri
river packers and the Great Western, which
was consummated about two years ago, and
has worked great detriment to Chicago.

SERIOUS TROUBLE AT HAMBURG
Rioting and Pillagc Follows Political
Demonstration Planned by the
Social Democrats.

BERLIN, Jan. 1S:-The demonstrations at
Hamburg yesterday against the proposed
new election law assumed more serious
aspect last night than indicated In previous
dispatches. A barricade was erected in one
of the, streets. leading TO the fish market
and the police were firmly resisted until
midnight. In attempting TO disperse the
rioters the latter opened fire with every
kind of weapon and about twenty police
men were wounded, one of whom has since
died. The demonstrations were mainly or
ganized by socialists and are intended as a
protest against the proposed election law
which partly disfranchises the poorer
classes
h Over twenty shops were plundered. The
humber of rioters wounded Is not known.
but more than dozen were treated at one
drug store. Some Of these were seriously
wounded. a policeman broke the skull OF
a l2-year-old boy, who was trying to turn
out street lamp.
Police headquarters today ordered all
drinking places in the riot district to be
closed at 6 o'clock in the evening, the hour
when the wharf and shipyard men return to
work.
The workmen who took part in yester-
days demonstrations were locked out this
morning. Over 1000 lose their employment
1t is believed that demonstrations will
| hereafter be kept within legal limits.

DUNNE NOW HAS MAJORITY
Chicago Council Passes Two Traction
Ordinances at Request of the
Mayor.

CHICAGO. Jan. 1s.-Mayor Dunno tonight
for the first time since his election found
majority of the aldermen back of him and
the city council in special session did all it
could to advance the municipal ownership
plans and passed the rest on TO the people.
As the traction situation now stands the
voters of Chicago will have to decide next
April whether they want to borrow $1,000
900 and go into the street railway business
or not. Both of the mayors ordinances
under the provisions OF the Mueller bill
were passed by the council by small ma
Jorities One of the ordinances provides
for the issue of s75,OOooOo OF street railway
certificates. The other ordinance author
ICES the city to operate well as own
street railways. All that remains now is
for the voters TO ratify the action Of the
council at the April election. but If they
should fail to do then matters go back
to exactly where they were before today's
council meeting. The council took all day
and part OF the night to do what it did.
