LAND LAWS ARE
OBJECTIONABLE
This Session Of Congress
May See Three Of Them
Repealed

Special to Evening Teller.
WASHINGTON, Dec. pa vigor-
GUS effort will be made during the
present short session OF congress to
repeal the stone and timber act. the
desert land act, and the communication
clause Of the homestead law. Several
bills are now pending in both houses
of congress looking to this end.
Bills of this character have frequent
ly passed the senate, but have always
died in the house committee on public
lands. 1t is generally understood that
Representative French of Idaho and
Representative Mondell of wyoming.
have been responsible for the defeat
OF bills for the repeal OF the above
mentioned acts. The president has
come out in q special message advo-
eating a change or repeal Of these
laws. The language Of his remarks on
this subject are very interesting. He
says:
Developments of the past year en-
phasize with increasing force the need
OF vigorous and immediate action to
recast the public land laws and adapt
! them to actual situs ion.''
| The president further says that the
demonstrated effect of the timber and
| stone act Is to turn over the public
timber lands to great conversations. and
that the extremely unsatisfactory con-
dition of the land laws are in grea
measure RESPONSIBLE for the fraud.
that have come 70 light in the fa
western states within the past year.

CHICAGO's UPS AND DOWNS

Chicago is having it's ups and downs
these days. This is the latest arrange
ment for beating around the law. pro-
hibiting trading in privileges. Chicago
has an element determined to do bust
ness in puts and calls. Whether it is
because they hate to see Chicago losing
anything at all, and are unwilling any
other market should get a smell of
business, or whether it is due to just
ordinary perverseness, this attempt to
defeat the intent and purpose Of the
law is quite the most undignifed thing
the board of trade has ever been identi-
fed with.
It is illegal to trade in privileges in
Illinois. 1t is not illegal in Wisconsin
or Minnesota. That is all there is to it.
If Chicago must trade in privileges she
should have the law repealed and if she
has not influence enough to have it re-
pealed she should keep quiet and take
the medicine. ....
Instead Of this there is a new plan
to beat the law in operation every week
or two. "Bids and offers' were no
sooner discarded, because the good
firms would have nothing to do with
them, than Indemnity sales' APP
peared, and now it is to be cups and

will add activity to an already ex-,
banding industrial situation, especially
in the iron and steel market, which
will be called upon to- supply an enor-
nous amount of structural material.
Intrinsic conditions are in all respects
favorable and close market observers
declare that there is nothing in the
way of continuation of the upward
movement, except profit taking, which
is bound to occur from time to time.
They also believe that the fresh buying
power. which is daily developing, will
be sufficient to stem any reaction which
may develop from liquidation of long
stock. Monetary conditions have now
assumed more favorable aspect and
outside buying is beginning to develop.
With prolongation of monetary ease,
prominent operators declare the outside
public will again soon come into the
market on large scale. Cheap money
will also encourage a resumption OF
activity by various pools. whose plans
were pset by the San, Francisco calam-
ity. -. t, =. ~

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

Conditions governing the stocker and
feeder trade this week have not been
to the shipper s advantage. While re-
ceipts have been light the demand has
been slow and at this late date in the
season pastures are pretty we'll filled
up. The market started out with a
lower tendency and as the week ad-
vanced values ruled generally 15c low
er. The TACT that supplies were quite
moderate possibly kept up values bet
ter than otherwise would have been
the case. All other markets have re
ceived severe setbacks and in all likeli-
hood concessions will have to be made
the coming week in order to get coun-
try buyers interested: ,..-.. .
The fat cattle trade has been quite
satisfactory, and last weeks prices
were well maintained. The marketing
comprised steers principally, and the
best Of the offerings sold at $5M5.50
The fair to good beeves comprising the
big share of the receipts sold at $4.75@
400, and the lightweights from 81 to
$3.50. Butcher stock was in only moder
ate supply and is becoming scarce, while
the "grassers have not yet put in an
appearance. Strictly good cows solo
at $4@4.50 and the pretty good
COWS and heifers at $4,000
This market is right in line with
other points, and the fact that sup
plies have been liberal indicates that
shippers are taking advantage of theil
home market thereby saving in shrink
age by the shorter haul. ~.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK

A few days Of hot May weather cut
general demand for cattle this week,
but depression in trade was noted
chiefly for the heavy grades, which
have lacked prime quality. These have
been a drug at largely 1Oc decline COM
pared with a week ago, and while light
and heavyweight steers have gone slow
ly, the price range held about last
week s level. There has been no in
centive to activity at any time, re:
ward of $1,000, which big supply has
been more than ample to fill demands.
The packers were the main supporters,
and while the situation in local quar-
tiers is fairly satisfactory, sellers real
ize that the coolers must necessarily
be we'll filed with beef, and that If the
price range is to go much higher, small
er marketing must be the incentive to
an advance A few beeves made $6.05
M6.15. Sales up to $685.. have been
fairly numerous and a big supply of
we'll finished. steers went at $540M5.75
including export grades u as high as
$3.50. ..,.
Lambs were taken at the best prices
of the year to date and l5W25c higher
than one week ago, and 1O015c above
one year ago, tho spring lambs sold
$2@2.50 lower than at that time. The
bulk of wooded lambs landed at $7.65
Otis lately; best shorn Colorado stock
brought 81, an dwhile fairly good to
choice in the main sold at $6.40@6.75
other very choice western and Colorado
strings brought $6.80@6.95, the. plain
and short-fed kinds going upward to
$685.. Plain light shearing Mexican
and western lambs went at $3.50, while
most shorn feeding lambs landed at
| $5.30@5.60, tho a string Of western
lambs went back to the country at a
cost Of $6.O5, but these were Of very
desirable kind for slaughter.

quality, the better kinds selling at 3d. IS
to 1925, and medium class from So to
$3.50 Beef steers sold about dime
lower the first days, owing to lower
eastern markets, but later the decline
was regained, and the close was about

were steady. Butcher and bologna
