Chicago Union Stock Yards, July
I24.-The quality of the fresh arrivals
and the stale hogs left over from yes
terday were poor today, but receipts
were more than 10000 short of the es-
Inmates, and while packers attempted
| to play the balk stunt, the spectators
were in early and aided by very lib.
shippers, prices advanced 10 cents
| over yesterdays average at the start,
and despite the bearishness and de-
Termination of the packers they were
compelled TO pay Is cent advance
over Tuesday, toward the close, and
Spectator look for a still further in
crease tomorrow, basing their claims
on another disappointing small run.
The bulk of the sales were made at
S7.7O@795, against $7.75@7.85 yester-
day; s7.2567.65 last Wednesday; 1915
@7.55 four weeks ago; $6.65@6.9O cor
responding Wednesday in 1911; $3.50
GS.75 in 1910; s7.45@7.85 in 1909 and

day 1875; last Wednesday, s772k;

T.O5; two years ago, 1910; three
years ago. 1915.
The cattle receipts were small again
today and nothing real choice was in
Icluded. Prices were from steady TO a
shade higher for the steers and ten
dency toward stronger prices for de
sirable grades. All butcher stuff is
higher than at the close Of last week.
Stockers and feeders of such grades
as the country wants are very scarce
and prices are strong At the close
the choice beet steers were 10 cents
higher than Tuesday.
All good grades OF sheep sold well
at Tuesdays close, though there was
but little activity TO the market.

A Snotless Town.

Shenandoah is to be made spot
less town, The plan is a good one,
and it is believed that ii will work
out even better than was expected.
The city il to be divided into twenty
districts, with a captain for each rls-
trict. There will be approximately ten
blocks to each district and there will
be a sub-captain in each block, who
will look after the work in his i'm,
mediate neighborhood. Valuable priz-
es will be awarded 10 the section that
is kept in the best condition. The
captains and sub-captains will be
boys and the organization will be
something like the Boy Scouts. II
the thing works out right in Shenaa-
doah, no doubt it will be tried in
other Iowa towns, as far as spotless-
ness is concerned, and big prizes will
be awarded the boys who make the
best showing.
