PAID FOR LIGHT WEIGHTS
Cattle Prices About Steady in All De-
partments But Without Features
Few Choice Steers Offered and
Butcher Stuff Medoere-Lamb Trade
Better, With Slight Advance.

Chicago Dec 6.--Scalpers attempted
today to give strength to the hog mar
ket but lack of support by packers
hour the early firmness was entirely
gone. Where the market was cents
higher at the opening it closed with
most of the advances lost, pig killers
being able TO secure their quota OF
stuff at yesterC avs prices. The high
point of $40 was higher than yester-
weights. The market closed with a
fairly good tone.
BY many in the trade the ruiz this
Week is regarded as a test The recent
upturn of nearly half-a-dollar has in
fused the country with confidence and
eliminated the fear that packers We're
able to make any kind of q marllat
they pleased. The manner in which
eastern shipping demand has come
ha ck is Il strong bull card.
Ninety-siN thousand hogs arrived at
eleventh market Monday, being 10000
more than week ago, 1900 more than
a year ago and 45.100 less than the
sponding Monday two years ago.
Chicago had 1000 more than a week
ago $500 more than year ago and
36.0@Q less than two years ago. Kan

4 week ago. 1000 less than a year ago
and 5000 less than two Years ago ST.
Louis received the same number as a
week ago. $500 less than a year ago
and $500 less than two years ago. Buff
faIo and Pittsburg increased 1000 over
week ago mad had about the same
total as a year ago.
A year ago this week in round num-
bers III, 900 hogs were received at the
Chicago stock Yards while two years
ago 2S3 900 arrived The six-year aver
age of this week from 1904 to 1909, in
elusive, was $4,000. Hogs received
here a year ago this week averaged PIG
pounds and two years ago PA pounds.
Top price for this week a year ago was
$50. two years ago s5923., and three
years ago s5.o5. The corresponding
week six years ago the top was s4.S5.
which was lowest top for any week
during 1904
Cattle.
Cattle prices Were about steady in
every department Of the trade. The
market was without feature. Few
choice steers were on the market and
the quality of butcher stuff was not OF
the best.

with a top of ss.15 paid by packers.

helm incubus in Alaska was afforded
by efforts I'm Chicago to secure control
of a copper property near the Bonan-
20 mine of the Guggenheims that the
stock might be put beyond the reach
of the Morgan interests. This strug-
gle is a sequel to the recent death In
a snowslide in Alaska of ii. Curtis
Elliott. The annual meeting of the
company owning the properties, the
stock of which is scattered broadcast
among small holders, soon Is TO be
held in Seattle and II was found that
mysterious rival for control was
securing proxies. The other factioh
he's now set about getting powers OF
attorney, which II will use TO revoke
the proxies given. The scramble
promises a lively IL not sensational
contest that will be typical OF the
status OF the better Alaska proper
ties which are still In the hands OF
the Small fry" In this case the
ra ilroad which the Morgan-Guggen-
helm crowd Is building to the Bon
anza mine hundreds Of miles inland
will furnish transportation for the ore
and the company's officers do not ex-
pect any one win be PERMITTED to
benefit by that railway but the big In
terests II II can be prevented to stock
purchase or acquisition of a lien,
Every effort is being made TO get a
major part OF the small company's
stock trusteed for a period OF years
expenses are being cut and the com
pany's affairs trimmed TO Withstand
years OF freeze-out tactics, action
that is based on the general exper-
Ience in Alaska which explains the
present dominating position OF Mr..
Morgan and the Guggenheims.
