MANY MORE HOGS THAN IN 1910

February, 203, 636,051 pounds, were the
largest reported since the summer of
1909. The export situation with regard
to food animals and meat products, as
revealed by the export figures for the
eight months ending with February.
shows a further unfavorable turn since
the Immediately preceding year, though
the full significance of the recent
changes in the volume of exports can
be seen better when comparisons are
made between present year figures and
those for some earlier year Thus the
number of cattle exported during the
eight months ending February, 1911,
was 1878 head, as against 371292
head five years before, while the value
Of all animals exported during the
eight months declined from $29.611,579
in 1906 TO $1O,159, 1888 in 1911. The ex-
ports of fresh beef which for the eight
months ending February, aggregated
l14,3l3,l97 pounds, declined to 2S,327,-
052 pounds in the corresponding per
lod OF the present fiscal year The ex-
ports OF picked pork declined from
S9,216,392 pounds to 26,611 ,098 pounds,
those corned beef from 60526.94S

A moderate increase of the live
stock receipts of the seven principal
interior markets of the country is
shown by the February report of the
bureau of statistics of the departmee-
of commerce and labor. This improve
ment is due, mainly, to the larger sup
ply of hogs and sheep. Notwithstand-
ing the shorter month, receipts of hogs
at the seven markets, 1875, 415 head,
exceeded largely like receipts during
,She previous winter months. AS com
pared with the average February re
ceipts for the preceding five years, a
decrease is shown of about per cent,
though the February receipts during
the current year were over 10 percent
heavier than in 1910. With the eX-
ception of Sioux City all the larger
packing centers show considerable
gains since last year, especially in the
case of Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City
and st. Joseph.
The cattle receipts for the month,
575.739 head. show but slight variation
from the February figures of the pre-
ceding two years. AS compared with
last year SOulS gains are IC-
ported for Kansas City, ST. Paul and
Sioux City. while Chicago, Omaha, st.
Louis and St. Joseph show smaller to-
tails than the year before.
The live stock receipts at these
seven markets during the first two
months of the present year were com
posed of 1,340225 head cattle; 114,-
7s3 calves, 3,357,40s hogs and $780,
0S6 sheep, the figures for each class of
animals showing substantial increases
over the two months figures OF last
year
The live stock receipts during the
month at the four principal Atlantic
seaport cities show a less favorable
development; thus the receipts of
cattle for the month, 1870 head, were
lower than in the three preceding
years. Receipts of calves, 80, 001 head,
were smaller than in February, 1910,
though in excess of the February fig
ures of the two previous years. The
receipts OF hogs, on the other hand,
3I0.612 head for the month show a
slight increase over the corresponding
1910 figures of 303, S12 head, although
the decline from the corresponding
1909 and 1905 figures is still very mark
ed Even the receipts of sheep, 2IS,
613 head, which show the largest in
crease over the corresponding 1910 fig
ures, were below the February figures
of the earlier two years.
The February shipments Of packing
house products from Chicago, 15S.I94,-
e25 pounds, show no appreciable
change from the cores ponding fig
ures of the Immediately preceding
years. The marked decline in the
volume of shipments which
dates back TO the year 1909 and which
affected chiefly the shipments of fresh
beef and cured meats, besides those

Orders Fire Prctection.-A sweep
ing order which will include at least
80 per cent of the down town build
ings was issued yesterday by State
Fire Inspector Walker of Des Moines
and makes it imperative that either
ladder or stair fire escapes be placed
on each and every one of the three
story or more buildings In the city
within a period Of so days. The order
goes into effect at once and owners
not complying with the order viii be
subjected to prosecution under the
state laws. which specifies a penalty
Of $50 to 800 fine for neglect and an
additional fine of $25 per week for
each week that the orders of the de-
partment are ignored. The serving of
notices began under the direction of
Fire Chief Denger, who is acting IN
der instructions from State Inspector
Walker. The service Of these notices
is the result OF an investigation which
was made into the FIRE conditions Of
Davenport during the past several
days, and fragrant violations were
found in many instances. That there
is a large number Of local buildings,
including rooming houses, stores. Of
fee buildings and public structures
that are permitted TO stand with in
adequate fire protection is the state
ment made by Mr. Walker.

for the action is that the prosecution

Cook Goes Wrona.-James J. Gillen,
head cook at the Manufacturers hotel,
Moline, had not touched a drop of u
quor for three>y years till last Saturday.
On that day, feeling a little under the
weather, he purchased tonic and took
a dose of it. The taste Of the tonic pro-
voked a mad desire for something
stronger, and, unable to contain himself
longer, Gillen embarked on one grand,
long spree, which finally ended Thurs
day night. He returned to the hotel
and when ordered from
the place, refused to go and became
troublesome. An officer was called, and
when he attempted te march James
from the hotel, James grasped a heavy
meat cleaver and with 1t struck the
back of the policeman's hand, inficting
a slight bruise. Thereupon the police
man swung upon Gillen and with wen
directed blow felled him to the floor.
Gillen was then led peacefully to the
city lookup, where he will be given a
to mediate on his latest esca,
