TodaY,s Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, Dec
2.-The most demoralized and list,
less conditions in many a month,
marked the opening of hog market
this morning. Fresh arrivals were bull
letined at $4,000 or $4,000 more than
had been expected and there came ov-
er from yesterday enough TO make a
supply far in excess of 10000 when
half that number was all the market
had demand for There was practiC-
ally nothing doing the first hour and
all bids were IS and 20 cents below
the average of Yesterday and full SO
to 60 cents lower than the close of
last week. If such thing was possible
the closing hour was the dullest and
,slowest of the day and everything at
that time full Is cents below Tuesday.
With $4,000 fresh arrivals estimated
for tomorrow, added to about 10000
left over from today prospects are for
"a still further decline for Thursday
The bulkNtoday5 sold at $6.75@7.0 90,
against $700@725 yesterday; $1,000
$50 last Wednesday; $7.20@750 four
weeks ago; $7.550770 corresponding
Wednesday in 1913; $7.50@7 IS in
1912; $5.S50615 in 1911; $7.40@7.55
in 1910; and S8.30@S.50 in 1909.
The top paid today was $40; yes
terday $3.50; last Wednesday 1855;
four weeks $751;; one year. ago $3.50;
two years ago $40; three years ago
1886; four years ago s7.62h, and five
years ago $685..
In the cattle market the same dull
and weak conditions prevailed as ia
the hog market Supply was entire
ly too extensive for the needs and
nothing in the run of attractiyeness.
Buyers were again severely bearish
and as Indifferent as they possibly
could be. and refused to do any bust
ness until concessions OF 20 TO 30
cents from Yesterdays quotations
had been granted and then purchased
most sparingly, claiming there is no
outlet for the dressed product and
that their cold storage plants are
loaded
Sellers of sheep had a supply Of
$4,000 TO contend with or nearly
double the number actually needed.
and as a result the market was eK-
tremely dull and slow and prices
generally 20 cents lower than yes
terday.
The estimated receipts for to.mor-
row are $4,000 hogs, 5000 cattle and
5000 sheep
Receipts to-day we're $4,000 cattle.

nEAIH m TIE MINES,

That peaceful industry mas III
| horrors as we'll as war is shown il
the casualty list of American mines
and quarries for 1913, jrst issued BY
the United States Bureau of Mines
This list gives 1851 men killed IL
| the year. The number of men injur
ed was not tabulated, but it is esti
mated that it reached 100000.
Altogether in the coal mines, me
tai mines and quarries 1,047,010 meI
were employed, and the death rate
for each 1000 men engaged was
349, or nearly three an one-half men
DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, director Of
the Bureau of Mines, comes forward
hazards of the industry into consid
Grafton, tails list of death and in
jury is excessive and unnecessary
and a discredit to the industry and
the country.
Commenting on the deaths in the
mines, DR.. Holmes said: 1--WE stand
aghast at the slaughter in Europe
as reports reach us concerning the
terrible war that is raging, and we
pride ourselves on our freedom from
war though tie adaptation of higher
ideals and standards. Yet to me this
report on the death in one year OF
1861 men engaged in a peaceful in.
dustry is quite as discreditable. And
When We consider that this record Is
being repeated year after year, the
very thought of it becomes appalling.
In the last three years, as far back
as the records of the bureau cover,
ing certain branches of the industry
go, the mines and quarries OF the
United States have swallowed up
l0,4S7 human lives and have incapa'
citated temporarily probably a quar-
ter OF a million men. And the sad
dest part of it all is that a great
part of this death roll and still
greater part Of the Injuries are not
necessary. ! believe | am conserva
tive when | say that half of the 3.
e5l men killed in the year 1913
might have been saved and three
fourths of the 100000 men injured
in the same year might have eSCap.
ed injury had all the various agen,
Cies involved, the operators, the min
ers and the State and National gov.
ernments done their full duty in the
matter. Perhaps no one of these
agencies has done its full duty. For
the Bureau OF Mines, as representing
the federal government, ! can say
that, owing to a lack of adequate
funds, this bureau has fallen short
of doing its full part in this great
safety movement; and | therefore
hesitate to criticise the seeming
shortcomings of any other agency.
1T is not to the credit OF the
United States that the very Euro.
pean countries embroiled in the
greatest conflict of the ages kill in
their mining industries but one half
or even one-third of the number of
men We kill. | refer to the number
killed for every 1000 employed. which
is fair basis for comparison Ac-
cording to the latest foreign stats
tics, Belgium killed one man in ev-
cry 1000; Great Britain and France
one and one half men; and Germa Il
two and one-half men; as compared
with the American death rate of
three and one-half. "r..
