Meat Prices AreM the 7oboggan;' TRADE
In Hogs Only Strong Feature OF Market

The quality OF the lambs on offer Is
decidedly poor, making a sorry show
ing for this stock in current market
quotations. The general outlook for
wool is not much improved, a fact
which does not tend to enthusiasm on
the part of the grower. II Is quite
generally believed that sheep and
lambs will decline In prices steadily
as the season advances and receipts
begin to accumulate.
The strongest element In the live
stock situation Is the trade In hogs,
and their products, both cured and
fresh. There are very few hogs LEFT
on feed 10 Michigan, and the prospect
is that the scarcity will stimulate the
market and cause some violent fuc-
tuations. The whole country, as far
as can be learned, Is bullish on hogs
and hog product. a sure sign OF an
over-bought speculative market. Good
prices are looked for In the hog divi-
sion during the remaipder of the
summer. Thousands OF dollars are be-
ing lost to shippers by careless load

countrywide rain, conditions Will
grow rapidly worse. While strictly
dry-fed cattle are lower than they
were two weeks ago, they are still
more than 81 per cwt. higher than on
this date last year. Mich cows are
holding their own remarkably well,
supported by the high scale of prices
at which butter is selling. In SYM
pathy with all other kinds of meat,
veal calves are sharply lower.
AS in the cattle division. the sheep
and lamb trade is suffering from an
over-supply of CRASHED stock and
prices are rapidly melting away. In
hot weather. like that we have had
of late. the demand for all kinds OF
meat, except spring lamb, decreases
rapidly. Lamb prices can usually be
sustained through the early summer
months, because this meat Is In vogue
with the class who have plenty OF
money. The present year seems to be
rather an exception to the general
rule and prices for this, the daintiest
and most palatable hot-weather meat
ration known, are rapidly declining.

BALLET DANCING
IS CARS HOBBY
Government Pays Training Fees For
Girls, Says Anna Pavlowa, Who
Will Tour U. s.
BY w. G. SHEPHERD.

NEW YORK, June 29.--If there's
one thing the car of Russia likes
more than anything else it's a fine
graceful Titled ancing girl.
Just because, with the present
craze for stage dancing in America,
Oscar Hammerstein started for Rus
sta to secure several star dancers,
the czar shut the gates against him.
Hammerstein can't get into the cars
kingdom. That's what the car thinks
OF his little dancers.
Anna Pavlowa, who is going to
dance in the United States next year
touring the country. tells about how
she and other Russian girls were
trained at the expense Of the Russian
government.
Ballet dancing is the cars hob
by" she says. Every year, on GER
tain day, parents may send their
children to the famous ballet insti-
tute in st. Petersburg as candidates.
They must be between the ages of
ten and eleven.
The little girls are dressed up in
their very best finery and usually
there are $50 children present.
Each child is brought before the
ballet matters and requested to walk
up and down and go through various
exercises to show whether the body
is naturally 1.-THE and supple and suit
able for dancing. Those who seem
suitable are sent to another room TO
be examined by a doctor.
THE selected children are placed
under special tuition at the institu-
ton. A year later they have another
examination. II they have -
they are elected members of the In
stitution and take up their residence
there. From that time on they are
allowed out only with chaperons. Aft
er twenty years In the ballet the
dancers are pensioned for life."
Pavlowa was considered by the
car as one of the best dancers ever
produced by the institution; within
four years she was appointed a solo
list, an honor which is ordinarily gain
ed only after seven years OF work.

The prediction that meat prices
would soon be very much lower, made
in The Times, early last month, seems
to be In fair way to be fulfilled. The
whole country is in the grip of burn
ing drouth, and large receipts of thin
cattle are finding their way into the
market. depressing the value OF COM
mon cattle TO level much below that
which ruled at this date last year.
In many respects, the situation Is
remarkable, because the present
month opened with common cattle
selling almost at the top OF the recent
advance. Veteran drovers and whole
sale butchers. who have spent life
time In the business, hav informed
thew ritter that they never saw cSm-
mon cattle sell so high In June before,
except during war-times. The break
Is, then, notable one, ranging from
81 to $3.50 per cwt., according to the
quality. The difference Is most notable
In common to fair cows.

INTRODUCES BILL TO
CHANGE KINGS OATH
Premier Asquith Urges That Words
Offensive TO Roman Catholics
Be Strickent Out.

LONDON, June 29.-Beginning by
expressing the hope that 1t would not
be controversial. Prime Minister AS
quith introduced in the house of COM
mons yesterday Afternoon the govern
ment bill altering the form OF the
kings declaration on his accession to
the throne.
Mr.. Asquith reviewed the history Of
the oath which Is offensive to the
Roman Catholics of the empire He
said the language of the oath was en-
phatic, but 1t has been equalled by the
80 articles Of the church OF England
and that used by the church of Rome
to converts in denunciations OF pro-
testant doctrines. Roman Catholics,
the premier declared, enjoyed all civil
and political rights, although they
were barred from one or two Offices.
Mr.. Asquith said he hoped the relics
of the past would soon be removed.
Mr.. Balfour. leader of the opposi-
ton, Joined Mr.. Asquith In this wish.
He said that the late government, OF
which he was prime minister when
King Edward assembled the throne,
was anxious to alter the declaration,
but found 1t impossible to do so. Mr..
Balfour said he approved the change
In order TO remove the source Of O.
tense which the kings loyal subjects
take to the form Of the old oath.
The introduction Of the bill was
voted 383 to AZ and II was read the
first time amid general cheers.
During the debate preceding tho
vote John Redmond, the Irishr Ma
tionalist member who has been agitat-
ing the question Of change In the
accession oath, said he did not believe
Il would be reasonable for Catholics
to object to the new declaration.
