YearIins Steers Favored.
LDrovers' Journal.1

Markets are getting a. big. pile OF
yearling beeyes this season. 1t is an
indication OF greater effort to produce
cattle in the corn belt, and that il 10 q
profitable move as compared with the
feeding OF heavy steers need only be
demonstrated in the relatively. high
prices the yearlings are making. Thus
far In May an exceptionally heavy crop
of yearhng steers and heifers has
been marketed, and these classes are
getting much better general favor than
the 1900 to 1900 pound grades Of I'M
ished steers.
Popularity OF yeariing feeding IL well
founded and as the use OF silage in
beef production, so ably demonstrated

general on the farms, still greater pro-
duct1on OF yearling beef should re-

1T cannot be known at this time"

known that the change has caused
removal of capital from the state

MUST STAND TRIAL
Patten and Associates Fail to
Get Cotton Pool Indict-
ments Quashed.
WERE HAMPERING TRAFFIC
Otherwise, Judge Holds. Cornering
of Commodity is Not Viola
ton of Law.

New York, March 24-James A. Pat
ten of Chicago, Eugene G. Scales,
Frank B. Hayne, William p. Brown
and Colonel Robert NJ. Thompson must
stand trial for conspiracy in restraint
of interstate trade in connection with
the recent alleged cotton pool. Judge
Noyes of the federal circuit court yes
terday refused to quash the second
cotton pool2-indictment agalAeA-tAsse
men Certain technical contentious
were sustained and others dismissed.
Judge Noyes ruled that the corner
ing of a commodity I'm the market does
not constitute a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, unless 1t can be
shown that the direct effect of the 30
called corner would be to restrain or
obstruct interstate traffic.
STIMULUS TO TRAFFIC..
This result would be remote, in the
present case. the court ruled, as the
effect of the corner was to stimulate
traffic and raise prices, although abnor-
mally. The combination to control the
market he termed negatively illegal
without any prohibitory statute, and
would be positively unlawful in any
state having a statute against cor
ners"
The allegation that the creation OF
the corner was violation of the law
is dismissed, the court holding that
even IF the combination in question
be a violation IT is so because 1t is au
involuntary restraint of trade, 1. e., it
is a conspiracy entered into by per,
sons not engaged in interstate com
merce. which has the effect of prevent
ing other persons from freely engaging
in it."
CALLS TT VICTORY.
The victory of the defendants In
this case" Henry Wollman. counsel for
Patten. said last night. ''is in the de-
cision that the cornering of a market
is not IN violation of he Sherman anti
trust law"
