Fresh arrivals to-day were not ex-
cessive and the left over was not
large, but the packers were balky
from the start and showed a solid
front for lower prices. Choice butch
err and heavy hogs held their own all
day and the demand for them made
an active market. All other grades
were weak to five cents lower and ii
was not until near the close that any
activity was shown. The quality of
all hogs to-day was fair to good, but
there seemed to be such an uneasi-
ness among buyers that the day was
out. The bulk of the hogs sold to the
packers at $6.306665 as against $685.

WORMS ATTACK PEANUTS
MORE THAN $3,0o0,1 900 DAMAGE
DONE IN THREE YEARS.
For More Than One funded Years
1t Had Reputation OF Being Only
Thing Under Sod immune.

Washington, d. C., Oct. tS-Spe-
Cial: Now the peanut is in danger,
The department Of agriculture has
officially reported that an insect has
appeared which has n bin that can
penetrate the shell of the peanut. Far
more than hundred years the pea.
nut has had the reputation of being
about the only good thing that grew
under the sod which was immune from
harm so far as insects are concerned.
At last, however. the conduering bug
has appeared and as a result Of the
first three years warfare it is esti.
mated that the American peanut crop
has been damaged to the extent of
about 100000.
The insect which has wrought such
havoc, according to the department
of agriculture, has been aided by the
development of the mechanical
thrasher and picker. 1t is estimated
that between 20 and 80 per cent of
the peanuts that are put through
these machines come out with their
shells broken or cracked, thus leaving
an open door for the entrance of the
twentieth century peanut insect.
The government is trying TO work
out plan that viii save TO the ma
TONS wealth the full value of it's
peanut crop. In 1910 this crop was
valued at about S15,000,000, and OF
this amount it is believed that al
least 100000 was lost because OF
the activity of the busy little insect
referred to.

but the fire department arrived in

Several hundred dollars worth of
goods, including fancy stationery,
was destroyed, showcase was
ruined, soda fountain damaged. win.
