Chicago received in four days this

Steers were steady. Dlstiiery ana
corn fed reached sS.75.
Average prices for steers. quality
considered. are now the highest in over
thirty years.
That the best grades will go still
higher is the firm belief of traders. but
killers are issuing some quiet warnings
to the effect that the medium and
palmer grade steers must soon be
checked in their advance. since these
grades are running wild" in cost and
the ccnsumptive demand is soon ex-
pected TO drop. The killers claim 1t
will not be so much of a case OF supply
and demand regulating the prices as
it Will be the demand alone. since the
public is likely to decrease demand for
the very logical reason that price of
beef takes too great a proportion OF
the wages Of the average man of fam
lily
! The run Thursday stood at $500 and
made $500 for four days this week,
agains, 47,797 week ago and 47.343 a
year ago, while the outward movement
this week is practically even with q
week ago. Thus the increase in mar
ketings has gone into local channels.
and that the killers have been des-
perately in need of a lot of beef has
been we'll attested by the very ex
cellent manner in which they have
bought
Sheep.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Probability that
French millers would obtain an eSten :
sion Of time to export flour made from
imported grain had a hullish effect here
today on the market for wheat. The
idea was that the outlook for ship
ments from the United States Would
be clearly improved. Besides there
was a feeling that some upturn IN
prices would be natural in View or
decline of cents here since MondaN'
Another influence against the bears
came in the form Of assertions that
the Kansas state report rightly m

600 bushels instead OF 93.ooo,ooV, the
popular estimate. The opening vas Z

Mrs. Helen LongStreet Is ViCto-

After Mrs. Helen y. Longstreet, lead
er of the fight to conserve TalIulah
Falls, had been refused permits
sion to speak from the floor
OF the house 1l2 Georgia repre-
sentatives rallied to her support yes
terday afternoon and passed the Shaw
resolution authorizing the governor to
bring suit against the Georgia Railway

During the vote on the resolution
Mrs Long street sat in the gallery and
watched her long battle to obtain rec

to a close. Her successful fight in the
Legislature means that the governor will
institute suit to test the land titles of
the disputed area in the gorge Of the
Tallulah river in Rabun and Haber-
sham counties
Of the nineteen members Of the low
er house who opposed the resolution,
Representative Adams Of Hall. was the
spokesman. He asserted that the claim
Of the state was preposterous Two
governors and two attorneys general
he said, had turned down the TaIlulah
claims as mere conversational cOnten-
tons, with no basis for litigation To
one person alone he attributed the Tai
lulah fight. The people Of Rabun, Hab-
ersham and Hall counties, he said,
wanted the waterpower development.
The supporters Of the resolution were
legion. Representatives White, Of
Screven, and Ellis, Of Tiff who have
worked hand in glove with Mrs. Long
streets association; Hobbs, Of Hous-
ton and WestnoreIand Of Fulton. all
insisted that the states claim could be
settled only by a court contest.
