The hog market is still booming ar
with the September option in barrel

strong. The list shows a gain of
more than 81 per cwt. for live hogs

high prices fail to bring an increase

heavy hogs are coming and they are
selling at premium over every other

sows and coarse STACEY hogs is decid-
edly dull and will continue So until
the beginning Of the packing season in

The trade In dry.fed cattle has been

much of a profit on the investment,
they are coming out much better than

fact that many farmers, noting the
scarcity of cows, are raising their heif-

one that has been neglected, already
far too long.
Yearling. both shrorn and unsorn,
made a new record In Chicago last
week and the end Is evidently not
quite yet. Receipts Of yearlings have
been lighter this spring than for many
years. This scarcity Of stock, coupled
with the active demand and the high
prices paid for pelts. has been the
influence which has contributed
to the trade In all kinds of mature

trade Is still active. but the market
looks trihe top-heavy and a dull

FERRY FIGHT IN
COUNCIL TONIGHT
Mayor Advises Settlement on Com
pany's Terms-Committee Would
Advertise for Other Service.

A bitter fight over the Belle Isle
ferry question is expected IN the com
mon council, Tuesday evening. Owing
TO The fact that no result was reached
at the Monday conference between the
common council ordinance committee
and the ferry company officials, the
situation is put squarely up TO the
council as to whether the city shall go
without ferry service TO Belle Isle all
season.
Mayor Breitmeyer will send in a
message advocating settlement on
the terms offered by the Detroit, Belle
Isle & Windsor Ferry Co. for the sea-
son. In opposition, the council com
mittee will bring in report advising
that the controller be directed to adj
vertise for proposals for ferry service.
This would involve giving to new
company, IL one appears, the right TO
exclusive use OF the docks at the foot
OF several streets, and Corporation
Counsel Hally is OF the opinion that
such an exclusive permit could not be
given.
Aid. Ellis. who believes the ferry
comany's terms TO be fdir, was OPP
posed TO the stand taken by Aid. Wal
son, Grindley. Field, Walsh and Gar
vey He may bring in a minority re-
port backing up the mayors stand.
In this case, he will be supported by
Aid. owen, Vernon, Reinhardt and
others.
Negotiations were declared off after
the Monday conference, which means.
unless the committee or the company
should back down, that no ferry boats
will run to Belle Isle for year. Aid.
Ellis has already called attention TO
the fact that no other passenger boats
adapted to the needs of this service
are to be found on the lakes, even If a
new company were organized ana
tried to buy vessels.
Not until the fight in the council Is
over will the ferry company announce
what il will do with Its boats this
season. While Peche island is not
ready for use as park yet, II may be
utilized for a terminus for pleasure
riding trips. and the company might
also use one of its Belle Isle boats on
the Bots Blanc run.
Walter Z. Campbell, Robert T. Gray
and John Avery were the representa-
tives OF the fiery company In the con-
ference Monday, and their steadfast
determination to settle on no terms
except those at first laid down, with
slight concession in regard to even
ing passengers from Belle Isle, made
the majority Of the aldermanic COM
mittee very angry. A suggestion that
the ferry company run for time on
its own terms without a license from
the city was not given particular at
tention because the ferry officials did
not consider that the council had the
right to make such an offer, and also
because the company desires TO set
tie the matter once and for all.
How sore the aldermen are Is shown
by the fact that they now desire to
offer a 10-year franchise. with the use
of city docks in place of the yearly
license given the d., B. |. e w. Co.,
which uses its own docks.
