Demand Was Slow, and the
Market Closed With a
Weak Undertone
HOG PRICES BREAK SHARPLY
Receipts Were Far in Excess Of Urgent
Needs of Trade-Paokers Late in
Getting Into Market, and Very Bear
ish-considerable Strength DeveI-
oped in Sheep Market.

Chicago, Jan. 5--There was not much
change in the market from yesterday
Steers were in slow demand. There was
not much inquiry for butcher stuff, and
tho prices held steady, the market
closed with weak undertone.
Last weeks high prices for the me-
dunn and lower grade steers stimu-
lated country shippers to keen activity
and they simply overloaded the market
with medium and lower grade steers
Monday. Result was the loss in val
ue OF much of the gain which was
forced week ago.
Most of the decline was on the me-
dunn grades which advanced the most
last week. Common light steers We're
also hard to SELL and the good heavy
came in for their snare of the decline.
Buyers Disseminated against the
heavy cattle whether common or choice
and in all cases preferred the light
weights.
Demand for mixers and springers
from the east lately has been very slim,
and it is evident that shippers are ex-
periencing some difficulty in getting
thru the quarantine district. Yesterday
the market was dull and slow, with
prices about the same as at the close
OF last week, but lower than week
ago. Sales ranged from s25@5o. The
t,,berculin test insisted on by the city
administration is causing buyers to be
more discriminating.
Hogs.
Receipts We're again liberal, being far
in excess of the urgent needs of trade.
Prices broke 500 cents. Shippers and
SPECTATORS bought a few hogs early,
while packers We're late in getting into
action and were very bearish
Sheep.
There was poor demand ait the out
set, but small supply and firmness of
sellers in holding out for better prices
developed considerable strength late in
the day.

Sioux City stockers and Feeders.

Sioux City Stockers and Feeders.
AS usual around New Years the
feeding stock trade has not been very
brisk. On account of the cold weather
the supply is a little short and yard
traders had difficulty in holding the
market steady. Considering everything
good clearance was made for last
week.
A top Of $3.50 was scsored on some
extra choice 1,135 pound feeders. The
best of yearlings commanded price
around $500, while as high as s3.15
was paid for some extra we'll bred
stock heifers.
Following are the prevailing quota
tons for feeding stock: Feeders, $3.50
4.75; long yearlings, 3.25@40O; stock
steers, 2.75@3.25; stock heifers, 1000
800; light weight feeding bulls, 2.500

1 With this modification and some minor
| ones the court OF appeals renewed Its
original opinion and decision, the
| Judgment of the district court being
reversed and the case remanded with
instructions to grant "a new trial to be
conducted in accordance with the opin-
ion OF the court of appeals.
Under Judge Lands original SEN
tence the Standard Oil company was
assessed $29, 240, 600, there having been
1852 separate shipments each Of which
he treated as an offerrse for which he
inflicted the maximum fine of $4,000
The court of appeals ordered the case
retired on the basis of an offense for
each cash settlement. There Were thir-
ty-siX OF these settlements, so that the
maximum fine which can now be as
sessed against the Standard Oil COM
pany, assuming that the prosecution
can be successfully conducted after a
lapse of time, will be only $720,000,
which is a mere DROP, in the bucket
when compared to the annual profits
of that great corporation.
1t is an open secret in Washington
that the Standard Oil company Of
fered to compromise long ago on sub
stantially this same basis, and the Of
fer was rejected by the government
after a conference between President
Roosevelt. Attorney General Bona
parte, John D. Archbolt Of the Stand
ard Oil company, and Senator Bourne
of Oregon At that time the decision OF
the court Of appeals had not been rem
dered and the government preferred to
make an attempt to preserve the de-
cision of Judge Lands intact Il 1t
could possibly be done.
Hope of Big Fine Conc.
Yesterdays decision of the United
States supreme court refusing to re-
view the court of appeals in this case
therefore puts an end to every hope
of assessing a big fine against the
Standard Oil company. Apparently it
strikes blow at all future prosecu-
lions for rebating.
The doctrine laid down by the court
of appeals to the effect that cash set
Element constitutes an offense rather
than separate shipment appears to
open the door to rebating once more
by every big corporation in the coun-
try They can we'll afford to secure a
series of rebates running, over months
or years from railroad company and
make settlement only at the longest
possible intervals. Each settlement
would involve at the worst fine OF
only $4,000, whereas the rebates ac-
cumulated up to the time of settlement
certainly would amount to many times
that sum.
Apparently this will enable the big
corporations to defy the law, while the
little fellows, who are compelled to pay
their freight bills on demand, will
have to pay the full freight rate or suf-
fer a fine entirely out of proportion TO
the amount involved in the discrminat-
ing rate they may obtain from some
easy going railroad.
Will Hamper Prosecution.
Under the decision of the court OF
appeals even by the modified opinion
when a re-hearing was denied, future
prosecutions of a case in the district
court will be considerably halnpered by
the apparent necessity under that de-
cision of proving that the defendant
knew the rate was illegal, or. at least,
that he had not made diligent effort to
find out what the lega! published rate
was.

Washington, Jan. 5-The refusal Of
the supreme court of the United
States to grant writ of certiorari in
| the case of the Standard Oil fine of
$29,000,000 is blow to the admins
tration's crusade against the trusts.
The ruling, which was announced by
Justice Fuller means that the decision
of the circuit court of appeals stands,
SO that the case will have to go back
| to the district court at Chicago for
retrial along the lines of the opinion
rendered by Judge Grosscup and his
| associates.
The big fine for the big trust is
knocked into cooked hat, and is prev
ious experiences go for anything, the
prosecution Of the Standard Oil will
the utmost efforts of the government to
| punish the big combination.
| The supreme court, it must be re-
membered, did not go into the merits
of the case at ALL 1t merely decided
not to review the decision of the cir
cult court of appeals. Petitions for
writs of certiorari are not usually
granted by the supreme court unless
there is some great constitutional prin-
ciple presented or important property
or personal rights are in danger of be-
ing jeopardized.
Granting Of Writ Rare.
! Accordingly the granting of a writ
of certiorari in such criminal cases is
rare, and. altho the government was
we'll within its rights in asking for
review by the supreme court, that tri-
bunal was merely following its GUS
| tom by refusing to grant the writ on
the theory that there were no issues
sufficiently important to justify re-
view of the decision of an intermediate
court.
| This leaves the matter just where 1t
was when the circuit court of appeals
denied the petition for rehearing. The
original decision with certain modi-
| fications, therefore, stands, and the case
| is remanded to the district court for
Il new trial.

court abused it's discretion in the in
vestigation which was held after the
trial itself to determine the ability of
the Standard Oil company to pay the
big fine Of s29,24o,o00. 1t was also
held that Judge Lands was in error
in excluding evidence of knowledge
and intent on the part of defendants in
TIE acceptance of rebates. The third
error found by the court of appeals
was in the method of computing the
number of offenses. The superior court
held that each cash settlement was an
offense while Judge Lands determ-
ined that each separate shipment was
an offense. and he fixed the fine ac-
cordingly.

living southeast of town, sold his farm
between here and Clutter, the past
week, at $14O per acre. The same was
his birthplace, his father, the late
Henry Schelhorn, having entered the
land at an early day, paying the gov
eminent $1.25 for it. The increase of
s13S.T5 an acre in the value of that
farm, speaks eloquentfy of the devel-
opment of Tama county in the last half
century.

called by telegram to Cleveland, O.. on
account of the death of his sister, who
was killed by natural gas in that city.

unfortunate the past week. Mr. Calder

took 5000 and sent it in registered
letter to Roleau, fifteen miles distant,
