Chicago. oct 30.-With that perfect
+andor which is at once one Of his most
,ttractive and most surprising charac-
te~lstics. President Taft told the Ham'l-

roal,zed that the Republican party was
facing crisis and that he earnestly
hoped that the good people Of this coun-

only 10 chasten the grand old party
that IL might do better in the future
He added that should majority or

fsirs Of the nation to party which
was inexperienced and in whose theories
Republicans did not believe. they could
count on the Republicans Loyalty and
patrioticslly TO support even Demo-

approval with an enthusiasm which
compellsd him 70 suspend for several

President Taft made this his one I'm
portant speech ~ the dsy AZ the last
sffair he was 70 attend n Chicago. the
informal luncheon given by the Hanil-

dent had laid the cornerstone Of its new

come TO be the leading Republican club

ccnversationallv and as to friends, max

previous occasion during his long trip.

however, Mr.. Taft was greeted by =

the remainder OF the season. The out
look for the future seems to indicate
a pronounced narrowing OF the spread
between prime finished steers and the
kind from which they are made.
There Is still an abundance OF corn
In the country, the owners OF which
DO not care to sell at the ruinously
low prices current. The heavy losses
scored by sheep and lamb feeders,
earlier In the season, tends TO greatly
increase the number OF those who will
elect to feed cattle. With both feed
ers and butchers keen after the likely
cattle weighing from 700 TO LOCO

seems assured.
Veal calves are firm, the best sell
ing Just below SO In the Detroit mar
ket. AS a rule, lambs and calves just
about keep step with each other in
market quotations. This year Is strik-
ing exception to this rule, however. A
good calf is worth "a per cwt. more
than a first-quality lamb. The reason
Is not hard to find. The supply OF
lambs is larger than the needs OF the
trade, and not nearly enough veal
calves are coming. The recent break
in butter prices did not seem to have
much effect upon the demand for good
mich cows, which are very scarce the
country over.
Retailers are coming to their senses
and are shading values in the mutton
and lamb departments OF their stores.
This should have been done long ago

The activity I'm the cattle markets
o. the country continues, but prices
Tor the better grades OF fat cattle are
hardly holding their own owing to In
creased offerings. A slight falling on
In the demand for feeding cattle is
also noticed. 1t would seem, how
ever, that there are buyers enough
for feeding cattle, but the competition
between feeders and butchers for this
particular kind has worked prices up
sos high that feeders seem to be a
ilittle shy OF the game. Recent de-
.c11nes In the price OF prime heavy
st6ers has had the effect of making
feeders more wary.
The market for common butchers
cattle has strong undertone, caused
principally, by the realization of the
small supplies that are In packers
hands as compared with other years
Il has been the rule OF other years for
packers TO buy thousands of cheap
cattle, in the late summer and fall

/ volume In the trade. Better late than
never" is amply indicated in this con-
nection, for the volume of the trade
in these two excellent meats has in
creased greatly in all the large cities
OF the country as a result or a sharp
price reduction from the retail block.
The demand for live stock has re-
sponded promptly to the increase in
the amount OF meat going into con-
sumptive channels and prices are
gradually working toward higher lev
els; especially is this true In the
lamb department.
The entire sheep trade is working
toward a much healthier basis as a
result of revival In the demand for
wool. Recent sales OF large quantities
of western wool have been made upon
much more favorable terms than any
that could have been realized during
the last twelve months. Feeding
lambs, the trade i'm which has been
extremely dull during the last 30 days,
are reported TO be much more active
than formerly. Another encouraging
feature In connection with the trade
in fat lambs Is the marked change in
weight restrictions. Heavy lambs are
still slow sellers but the limit has been
raised 50 that 90-pound lamb will
slip through without being faulted
for carrying too much weight The
present outlook favors an i'm
proved demand for well-finished.
medium-weight lambs in both the
feeder and fat classes. Extremely
heavy lambs will continue to be a
drug on the market as the time Is
near when this kind will be sold only
as sheep.
The recent scaling down OF live hog
prices seems 10 have been carried a
trifle too far, and the market Is right
ing itself. The general tendency OF
the speculative provision list Is to-
ward lower levels. Dizziness and
heavy declines In the wheat pit help.
ed TO batter down prices for pork
products. The live hog trade has
been Influenced somewhat by provi-
sion values but the most important de-
velopment In connection with recent
price fluctuations has been a large i'm.
crease I'm the number coming TO hand.
Chicago has been getting some of
the largest runs OF recent years dur
ing the last half OF the current month.
The activity which the market has
shown. under heavy receipts. argues
well for the stability and underlying
strength of the trade. Live hogs win
sell somewhat lower as summer APP
proaches, but those who have predict.
ed slx-dollar hogs for the present sea
son are doomed 10 disappointment
