PORK PRICES ARE LOWER;
HOG RECEIPTS ARE HEAVY.
SHADE REDUCTION IN PRICES OF
HOGS AND CATTLE PROBABLY
DUE TO REACTION AFTER RE-
CENT JUMP.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12-Hog receipts
on the Chicago markets were heavy
today and the price was a shade
lower than Saturday. The cattle re-
ceipts werr also very heavy and the
price quoted was 10 cents lower
The reason for the heavy shipments
of hogs and cattle to the markets to-
day is believed to be the sudden
boost in the price of pork announced
last week. The influx of live stock
may have the effect of bringing a
sharp reduction ins the prices.

A lavender monogram about two

lower left hand side.
There is always something new in

mems fashions change just as often
as women's and are much more ex-

ductor.
The fussy, little old gentleman with
the numerous packages, and the tall,
broadshouldered youth occupying the
seat in front of him, hastily seized
their belongings and bolted for the
door. Lukesdale is a small stop.
Hardly were the two safe on the
rough boards bounding the station be-
fore the older mans parcels began to
slip and slide in an awkward way,
and, but for the hasty assistance OF
the other, the majority Of them would
have fallen.

"a most eccentric old chap"
thought the youth, but after one or
two attempts to start conversation
he humored the old mans mood.
The streets of Lukesdale were a
credit to the town, and this helped
a great deal, because the lights were
conspicuously inadequate. The little
burg seemed to have been laid out
all on one street.
At last the two drew near a large
domicile, aristocratic in appearance,
