WHO GOT PROFITS FROM STEER?
Farmer and Railroad Are Puzzled by
Difference in Prices.

There is a heated discussion going
on in the west about the case of the
farmer who raised a steer and sold it
for 1929, but for which the ultimate
consumer paid $S9.31. Figure experts
have been trying to decide who got
the difference, hence the debate.
The only item about which there is
no dispute is the $3.50 which went to
the railroad for freight. Net profits
having been shown for the raiser, the
feeder, the commission agent the
packer and the retail dealer. statisti-
clans for the Santa Fe railway are
showing the net profits of the carrier

TO be seven and twenty-six hundredths
cents.
OF the $3.50 received by the rail-
road for handling the steer, sixty-siX
and one-fourth cents went for labor.
thirteen and two-fifths cents for fuel
and oil, twenty-one and nine hum
dredths cents for material and sup
plies, five and siXty-three hundredths
cents for betterments three and three
tenths cents for loss and damage, six
and sixty-one hundredths cents for
taxes and twenty and fifteen hun

New York stock Market.

Wall St. New York, July 3O.-STOCkS-
The very irregular tone of todays early
stock market which later became decided
Iy heavy, resulted from several highly
conflicting developments. These included
the excellent quarterly report of the steel
CORPORATION which was largely neutralfzed
by further news of blistering heat IN the
corn belt and a reduction in the Illinois
Central dividend from to per cent.
Steel the feature of the opening, was
heavily bought for London, but marked
disposition on the part of local traders
to take profits soon dissipated the rise.
Elsewhere in the active group numerous
losses of a point or more were recrdeh
before noon, Illinois Central falling over
points the lwest price since 1899.
Bonds were firm.
Steel was the feature at the opening to
today's stock market block of 1000
shares changing hands at 59s and 59a4.
compared with yesterdays closing price of

were minor gains in LehiSh Valley, Read
ing and Anna lgamated Copper, while Erie
first preferred rose a point. Canadian
Pacific was the weakest of the standard
stocks. with point loss, and Illinois

low yesterdays close ,
The market closed heavy. Such changes

direction of betterment, but trading was
then at low ebb and reflected little more
than settlement of the days contracts.

against it and appointed receivers to
take charge of its property.
after the case against the Gas
company had been heard in the dis

before judgment was rendered, the
president of the company, who was
also it's general counsel, appeared in
the federal court in answer to
suit filed by one of the company's at

in the Montgomery court, admitted all
the allegations charged against his
company, confessed insolvency, waived
notice for appointment of receivers
and accepted an appointment as one
of the receivers in his company from
the federal court.
