CHICAGO LIVESTOCK

Christmas week in the cattle trade
was unsatisfactory as regards the
prices for medium and plain light
steers, which failed to show gains in
values compared with week ago, even
tho receipts were small. Good weight
fat steers, on the other hand, show a

59,l72 a year ago. This material de-
crease in the run was greatly needed.
Packers had their coolers full of beef
and the narrow consumptive outlet for
all but the best grades has necessitated
cautious buying Of the light and half
fat steers. The general quality Of
receipts was common; in fact, the poor
est Of the season. Only small supply
Of choice heavy steers was included.
The proportion of steers good enough
to go above $6.25 was small and a
liberal percentage Of the receipts went
below $500. Strictly choice COWS and
helfers were scarce and not many
heifers went above $40. Some of the
heavy COWS brought $3.75@4.15, while
bulk OF medium to good beef cows sold
at $3.l0@3.65. Gamers and cutters
were slow all week and prices are
hardly up to last weeks level. Good
calves sold soc higher. A few fancy
selected vealers went at $8.50@8.65.
This was another good week for the
seller of hogs. Receipts were lighter
than usual and there was a wider out
let thru eastern shipping channels. The
result was that prices in the main
showed strong to sc higher. range
than one week ago. Buyers have given
the welghty hogs more attention this
week than for some time and have been
discriminating against the commoner
grades of light mixed. Yet the spread
between all classes Of offerings is still
very narrow, the best butchers reaching
mixed packing had to 90 as low as
$6.l0, the bulk of offerings selling at

DURUM IN COLORADO

resident at Fort Collins, COL, has writ
ten as follows to the Grain Dealers
Journal, Chicago: "We have in the

wheat in Colorado this season. One

Rock Island railroad has 10000 acres.

say that farmers must be more careful

become badly mixed and greatly de-

need to keep 1t separate and pure.
"The selection of seed grain is

ciated. I think that Kubanka $3.50 is
the best milling type and should be
grown to the exclusion of all others.
This will fix a definite type and will
give millers an opportunity to work
upon one strain as they have done
upon Turkey Red. I may state that
there is close to 100000 acres of this
wheat seeded in the entire United
States. - '5

A CAR POOL FORMING

The Chicago correspondent of the
Wall Street Journal says that leading
railroads are now working together on
a scheme to pool their equipment, and
tentative plan has practically been
agreed upon. The headquarters will be
in Chicago, with branches in other
centers. -
This scheme is the outgrowth of
years of study Of the question by
railroad managers. Only recently, how
ever, has there been any concerted
movement on large scale. The acute
car congestion forced the railroads to
prompt and vigorous action, and the Off
claI Investigation has helped a good deal:
matter previously appearing in The
Minneapolis Journal. The article says:
AT the Minneapolis hearing J. j.
Hill said that the trouble with grain
shipments was inadequate elevator ia
c q Mr.. Heffelfnger retorted that
the elevators could accommodate twice
the receipts, but that it was impos-
slble to get cars. There is no MONOPOLY
of blame.
"The most gratifying testimony at
any of the hearings was the admission
by Mr.. McKenna that the railroads
have begun a concerted movement to
remedy the situation. Only by such ac-
tion can any great improvement be
made. It is the greediness Of lines for
foreign cars that compels some roads
to refuse to let cars leave theft tracks.
Great Northern has heretofore been in
the lead as a CONSERVATION Of it's own
equipment. Such policy in ordinary con-
gestion works well, but in an acute
congestion it aggravates the situation
greatly. Obviously, it would be impos-
sible for all railroads to pursue this
policy simultaneously without stopping
the wheels Of industry everywhere. :
The car pool has for many years
received the attention Of the leading
railroad managers. Six years ago j. j..
Hill, =. H. Hartman, E. P. Ripley and
Stuyvesant Fish employed j. w. Midg-
ley to make Investigations and reoprt
rec communications. From this and col
lateral Investigations definite plan
has been formulated in the rough. !
When G. w. Sanford, manager Of the
Chicago Car Service association, told
the Wall Street Journal recently the
car pool has to come he meant that It
had about arrived. $3.50

THE MONEY MARKET

New York wired: tsWhile it is true
that the relief measures extended by
the treasury have been making them
selves felt in the money market dur
ing the past week, these last few DAYS
Of the year are the final tight corner
to be rounded before easier conditions
may be relied upon. The foreign cap
ital which high money has attracted
to this market recently will gradually
be finding it's way back to the other
side. Present rates are no sufficiently
remunerative for foreign bankers to
risk exchange operations; and besides.
With the advent of the new year their
FUNDS are wanted in Europe for "win-
dow dressing purposes.
Already the effect of remittances
on o. this account can be seen in the
foreign exchange market. The inquiry
for cables for the last two or, three
days has been evident and has kept
quotations fairly firm, tho the rest of
the market has bee nsomewhat heavy. !,

RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE

The reciprocal demurrage bill to be
introduced into the next Michigan
legislature contains a provision that
railroads shall pay to shippers for cars
released ahead Of tn efree time the
same penalty as charged shippers for
cars detained beyond the free time.
Cars must be furnished shippers within
given time, and failure to do so is
punishable by penalty payable to
the shipper. Failur etc load cars with
in a given time subjects the shipper
to a penalty. When cars are punched
in delivery the demurrage shall be reg
ulated so as not to impose hardship
on the shipper. The shipper is to pay
a deposit on cars ordered.
Secretary Fowler Of the Northwest
Grain Dealers association states:
4" Every preparation was made by grain
dealers in western Canada for increased
trade, but in the face Of the serious
problems facing the railways we were
helpless. Hundreds of cars for use in
the grain traffic were taken to the
mines to secure a supply of coal. "
