tations at Livestock Centers.

! Chicago, Aug. 2o.-Light offerings
| ami good demand sent hog prices up.
Combined receipts of hogs at eleven
markets Tuesday totaled only $4,000,
| being $4,000 less than a week ago and
5000 more than a year ago. Most Of
the decrease was at Missouri river
points. Chicago's total standing $500
smaller than a week ago and 1900
larger than a year ago.
The first two days of this week eleven
markets received 10000 less than a
week ago and 5000 more than same
period Of 1912.
Chicago the past two days received
1920 less than a week ago and 600
more than a year ago, when receipts
were unusually small.
Cattle.
Generous cattle receipts ease6 the
market.
One reason assigned for lack of de-
mand for heavy cattle Tuesday was
buyers experience last Tuesday when
they got out early and paid good prices,
ignoring the big car report to find
themselves able to buy at much lower
prices on Wednesday, when heavy cat
tie were in abundance. Until some
thing like equal distribution has been
accomplished good o1-day markets will
be illogical All buyers appeared to be
apprehensive that less money would
be needed to buy weighty cattle on the
mid week session. The bulk Of the
visible supply Of big steers is now in
territory close to Chicago and 1t is
logical to expect a goodly assortment
Of that kind on the Wednesday ses-
sions
There were $4,000 cattle at six west
ern markets Tuesday, against $4,000
last week, making a two day run at
these points Of $4,000, against $4,000
last week and $4,000 year ago. but SO
far as beef is concerned the figures are
Elusive as Kansas City has had the
big end Of the crop and supply there is
very deficient in beef quality at pres
ent.
The situation Is rapidly clarifying.
Rain has been general over much Of
the cornbelt and this will cause better
distribution Of supply. The booming
corn market will probably force some
cattle out prematurely. but the corn
situation is not as bad az depicted and
the fat cattle market Is showing q very
encoura cling undertone.
Sheep.
Lambs were in demand and sheep
prices improved.

OWEN JUMPS TRACK.

Currency cFairman Breaks Away
From Administration Plan.
Washington, d. c., Aug. Ex-senator
owen kicked over the traces on the
question Of currency legislation yester-
day and thereby threw q scare into the
ranks Of the democratic leaders, who
want to put the administration meas
ure thru congress at this session.
At q conference of the democratic
members Of the senate banking ana
currency committee, of which no II
chairman. Senator Owen asserted hs
favors immediate legislation, but ex-
pressed considerable dissatisfaction
with the bill now pending in the eau
Gus Of house democrats.
He practically disavowed any part II
the authorship of the bill. which was
introduced In the senate under his
name.
The principal objection to the bill
specified by Senator Owen Is the pro-
vision that national banks shall be re-
quired to contribute from their own
capital the capital OF the federal re-
serve banks. Tho assessment for this
purpose Is 20 per cent Of the capital OF
each national bank-10 per cent paid
up and 10 per cent subject to call.
The senator expressed doubt that
the national banks under the law can
be compelled to make this contribu-
ton. II the banks are allowed to make
It voluntarily they will not 10 So. the
senator opined. unless they are per-
mitted to control the banking sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Owen suggested 1t might be
wiser to lodge the ownership OF the
reserve banks in the people by general
stock subscription or In government.
The result would be. It was pointed
out, that the reserve banks would deal
directly with the people and would
compete with the national banks TOT
commercial business to the transac-
titon of which the reserve banks would
be limited.
All OF the democratic members OF
the committee. except Senator OGor-
man. were present. They were hardly
prepared for the announcement mace

Chicago. Aug. 20. - Wheat - Wet
weather in Europe and reduction OF
the Russian estimate gave a stronger
tone to the market, and while the net
gain is very moderate, there was bet
ter tone in the trading. France Is re-
portedDas a good buyer Of wheat in the
Liverpool market and Russian offer
ing9 are on the basis OF advanced
prices. Clearances are again very
heavy and for the past three days total
three and three quarters millions OF
domestic wheat and flour. II wheat is
to- have an advance, it will be be-
cause Of fresh buying from abroad.
Corn-Corn showed a much weaked
tendency today until the publication of
report in Price Current. which slim
ulated trade. Otherwise the news was
little bearish. There has been con-
siderable increase in the amount Of
corn offered from the country, both
here and at southwestern markets But
the idea OF sellers appear to be a little
above prices available today SO some
business was worked. Cash demand
was not quite so urgent for future
shipment but current receipts were alb
sorbed by local industries at high
prices.
Oats-Declines were IS, due to
realizing sales. Cash business has
somewhat improved tho It is not yet
urgent. 1t is quite likely to be a mar
ket Of moderate fluctuations for time
being.
Provisions-A higher hog market
helped advance the price of product
with meat leading. There was a fair
volume Of trade, with investment buy
ing in deferred deliveries. Cash trade
continues to improve

TERROR|zES
ENTIRE CAMP

Entering the home of fellow coun-
tryman at Eva plantation, succeeding
in breaking open trunk and extract
ing $40 and other Yaluables, later at
tempting an assault upon a woman,
are charges that will be brought
against Pedro Obado, Filipino, who
yesterday was taken into custody by
Special City and County Officer Harry
Lake and taken to the police station.
An entire camp Of Filipinos at Eva
plantation is sad to have been
thrown into a state of terror at the
action of Obado, who is alleged to
