Chicago, June 25-Activity of specu-
lators and shippers today forced hog
prices up grade.
Quality. while better than Tuesdays
offerings, was below the average OF
last week, there being an increased
proportion of common to fair mixed
and grassy" offerings than a week
ago. Buyers continue to discriminate
against this class of stock, which is
forcing a wider spread in prices. GraS-
sy mixed are quotable at $I.S34 10,
! according to weight, style and quality.
At the start some hogs sold up to
$S.40-top of market, but sales of this
, kind looked quite high with the general
market later in the day White several
lot sold upward of IS 80 at the start,
sales under that market were numerous
late. when many went at SS.25. with
some under.
Shippers had only fat. orders and
when they were thru packers had little
trouble in getting hogs at the lower
prices. When they were all going trade
had fairly good aetion--that vas late
in the day-but prices were not bcne-
fitted any. Sales at the finish We're
at the low time OF session and specu-
lati%e buyers lost money. as they were
bought on high spot Of market.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings were small.
A generous crop of yearlings was
here. tho there We're included few really
choice to prime baby beeves and none
as good as the s9.3o yearlings cashe1
on Monday Mediocre and common
yearling stuff continued relatively as
mean sellers as previous this week.
Some liberal shipping orders have
been the chief support of the market
in early rounds New York buyers have
been a fair quota of right good handy
and strong weight cattle in the early
rounds. but packers delayed their OPP
erations until goodly part of the
heavy fill which cattle accumulated was
lost
Packer buyers did very little buying
until II o'clock yesterday and, in fact,
got few cattle up to the noon hour
while later. when the biggest part Of
the fill was gone, they took hold win
fair action. clearing the run in due
season, the late trade showing little
general change in tone compared with
earlier rounds. as far as good to choice
grades were concerned, but it was a
soft close on the medium and common
steers OF all weights, the plain weigh.y
lots especially having poorer call
in the session.
Sheep.
Demand for sheep and lambs seemed
entirely local.
IN SERAOT SHEEP
Many were surprised at the big run
of lambs after the break in prices
since last week, but country owners
have come to the conclusion that pres
ent prices cannot be bettered, as they
are seasonably high, and unloaded
everything that was ready for market.
Direct stock amounted to 800 and
consisted of Louisville and Cincinnati
| lambs. That was enough to give the
packers a start and they took their
time bidding for natives offered for
sale.

Tariff Commission Bill.

This is the view of many of the re-
publicans in the house who believe IN
moderately low tariff: That the house
always supposing that the democrats
lose control of it-should pass strong
tariff commission bill, for high-grade,
non partisan tariff commission, and
should send such bill over to the seq
ate Such bill, it is urged, would
stand Some show of becoming law and
it would stand for a tariff policy On
which most republican voters. the bull
moose following and some democrats
could agree 1t is argued that the
country mist support the senate
democrats and the administration in
refusing to sanction a bill with high
tariff rates but it would not be in
clined to sanction refusal to provide
for a commission to handle the tariff In
scientific and non partisan fashion.
Certain it is that if the republicans
get the house they will have at the
outset to thresh out this problem OF
what to do about tariff commission
as distinguished from tariff revision
measures which can not be forced into
law.
Some talk is heard among the repub-
licans of merely revising certain
schedules. Many favor bill which
will do away with free sugar. Some
want low range of duties put on the
agricultural schedules.

Especial Correspondence.l

Washington, June 24.-Just when it
was supposed by lot of folks that the
tariff question had been laid aside for
at least a few years, it is looming up
once more as problem before con-
gress.
1t is not at all unlikely the Sixty
Fourth congress, which will succeed tae
present one next year, will plunge anew
into consideration of the tariff.
Political conditions today are highly
uncertain and chaotic but in recent
months the trend of things has led re-
publican leaders to feel much hope,
some of them even confidence, that the
republicans will gain the next house.
This view Of the republicans would pc
taken less seriously if it were not
shared by many of the house democrats
who admit belief they are likely to lose
control.
If the democrats lose the house. then
inevitably the tariff issue will be thrust
to the front once more. Already there
is much interesting talk as to what
republican house, with a democratic
senate and a democratic president.
would do about it.
Among themselves the more farsee-
ing republicans In the mouse are ais
GUESSING it, division of sentiment al
ready appears.
To Pass New Bill.
An effort will undoubtedly be mace
by some Of the republicans, if they con-
troll the next house, to pass Dill re-
vising the tariff and put it up to the
senate. This plan will be advocated
by the ultra high tariff men in the
house. 1t is in line with the tactics fol-
lowed by the house democratic leaders
in the Sixty second congress when they
passed low tariff bills and put them up
10 a republican senate and a repuon-
can president.
But many of the republicans now IN
the house do not believe this plan
should be followed. They say it would
be Of little use to pass tariff bills which
would surely be defeated in the senate.
or, if passed in the senate. would be
vetoed.

Editor Of Toronto Globe Says the
Dominion Wants Free Trade
With United States.

NEW YORK. March THE
United States and Canada, with their
distinctive features, and each produc-
ing what the other needs, ought to
be as free as possible in their trade,
and the day is not far distant when
reciprocity will unite the commerce of
the two countries"
Thus spoke DR. j. A. Macdonald,
editor of The Toronto COnt.) Globe,
and one Of Canada's leading states
men. DIR. Macdonald was the ennis
sary between the Canadian and
United States Governments in 1911
when the question of reciprocity was
brought before the Canadian people
at the general elections.
Recent events in Canada and the
United States have proved TO the
Canadian people that the proposal of
reciprocity with the United States
was essential and to the best inter-
ests of Canadians" said DR.. MacDon-
aid
All Parties Advocating 1t.
West of Lake Superior, through
out the prairie provinces of Manto-
ba, Saskatchewan and Alberta-the
grain growing provinces of Canada
public opinion in the press and Legis-
latures has grown strongly in favor
Of reciprocity.
"The important features Of rec4
procity are now recognized by both
the Liberal and Conservative parties
The tremendous benefit of free trade
in foodstuffs is now conceded from
the Pacific to the Atlantic Coasts
Representatives of both parties are
row appealing to the Conservative
PARTY and to Premier Robert l.. Bor-
den.
The only opposnon to the policy
and it is now extremely weak since
the question is thoroughly under
stood, is that of a few manufacturers.
They fear the removal of duty on
grain would lead to a reduction in the
protective tariffs affecting their own
interests.
Lost Great Chance.
THE new tariff adopted in the
United States by the Wilson Admins
tration has created a demand for a
change in the tariff of Canada which
win give the Canadian farmers the
advantage of a free market in the
United States.
when in 1911 Canada turned down
the offer of reciprocity with the
United States it lost the greatest OPP
portunity in it's history Had the
agreement been accepted at that time
the privileges of the agreement would
have been confined to the two coun
tries. Now, with the changes made in
