md at the same time the change in
prices was unimportant. This condi-
ZION was not at all unnatural re-
suit OF the peculiar circumstances
brought to Wall-st.s attention by the
result Of Mondays rapid advance in
prices.
While the stock exchange authori-
ties here impose arbitrary minimum
prices at which sales may be made,
something in the nature OF maximum
prices is also imposed by the fact
that London lenders on American
stocks at the final London settle
ment" o. July are allowed by agree
ment to close out such loans when
the price of the collateral reaches the
settlement figures of July q.
The reaching of that level, at the
opening OF this week, undoubtedly
had the result of throwing considera-
BILE blocks of such speculative London
holdings on our market.
Prices are now once more below
that level: hence London selling such
as occurred on Tuesday and Wednes-

While conditions in connection with
the general live stock trade OF the
country, have shown some improve
ment of late, the daily supply OF ami
mails for immediate slaughter con-
tinues large and prevailing prices SO
ridiculously' low as to suggest a heavy
loss 10 the grower who was obliged
10 use high-priced corn in the finish
ing process.
No adequate estimate can be placed
upon the total loss TO the breeders
and feeders OF this country, resulting
from the foot and mouth outbreak,
but that IL will amount 20 several
millions of dollars, is certain. The
worst part of the whole matter Is
that 80 per cent OF this loss was sus-
tanned in the marketing OF perfectly
healthy stock, the buyers OF the coun.
try being able to take advantage OF
the predicament in which the producer
found himself, TO secure the animals
for much less than they were really
worth. Let us take, for example, the
hogs that have been marketed in here
SO far this month. Hogs, bought re-
Gently. in Detroit, have cost, hanging
dead on the hooHs. from $3.50 to s8.75
per cwt. To say that the fresh meat,
from these hogs was worth Sill per
cwt, is making a modest estimate.

others gain.

reported to be very scarce. and a

dicted. Heavy lambs and heavy, old
ewes are bad sellers. The wool mar
ket is extreHely dull as a result of
the general business depression, re-
sulting from the war Owners OF
fleece wool are firm in their views but
actual sales cannot be made at this
time without shading values.
In spite of the pressure which has
resulted In forcing down values, the
live hog market is an extremely ac-
tive affair. The demand for both
fresh and cured pork products has
gained in activity with the advent OF
cold weather and the merchandising
branch OF the trade has proven to be
both pleasant and profitable. We be
lieve that hogs will sell much higher
before Feb. l.
In the Detroit live stock market
conditions are much improved, and a
much more satisfactory trade is
looked for during the remainder of
the month. The recent raising OF the
quarantine, which had kept the cattle
yards and a part of the hog yards va
cant for so long. has made IL pos
sible for all OF the stock received

in the open market and the result
