The receipts on Saturday were light
owing to Christmas coming on Fri

that the yards were again quaran-

fact that some Preble county farmers

DR. Glenn quarantined the hogs and

of both DR.. Wagner, Federal inspect
or, and Dr. Glen, state inspection. and

their stock handled as fast as they

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. 2s.-Fifteen
thousand men, women and children In
Northern Mexico are starving and SUI
fering terribly from the unprecedent-
ed cold weather in the higher Sec
lions. Famine is taking its victims
daily.
American Red Cross agents are do
ing everything in their power to allie
viate the distress. The state OF Tex
as, through relief societies working
along the border, is furnishing as
much food and clothing as possible.
Even these efforts have proved un-
availing to over come the conditions
that have been left in the wake of the
revolution, though the fighting has
now shifted further to the south.
Investigation by the International
News Service has revealed the fact
that whole villages are without food.
The Inhabitants have been robbed by
bandit bands operating without hind
rance.
An appeal is to be made to tho en-
tire American nation to aid the SUI
ferers. The aid must come soon or
thousands will perish. American rep
resentatives still In Mexico have sent
appeals to the Red Cross for more
help.

BUSINESS CAUTION
DEPRESSES MARKET
Henry Clews Believes Undue
Hesitancy Reacts Against
Activity in Stocks.
BY HENRY CCEWS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-The quiet
ness usual at this season of the year
is intensified by the feeling of caution
which exists in all parts of the coun-
try. 1t is a fair question to ask II
this caution is not going beyond rea-
son and reaching stage where 1t
must react, as all sentiment does when
allowed to 60 to extremes? 1t is quite
true there have been many reasons for
depression in this extraordinary year
of 1914. But many OF these reasons
no longer exist; some have been am
ply discounted and others of posi-
lively encouraging nature have not
had an opportunity to exert their full
influence.
Among the reasons for uncertainty
which no longer exist are the Mexican
difficulties, the antitrust and investi-
cation manias and the tariff re-adJust-
ment. These important problems alb
sorbed attention during the first half
Of the year. but since they have been
ignored, and for five months the mar
ket has had unexpectedly to face the
most colossal war in history.
The entire business world received
a shock which it will take years to
obliterate. So far as this country is
concerned, however, the effect has
been very largely discounted. Bust
ness quickly adjusted itself to war con-
ditions, and is now going along nearly
"as usual In the future this market
is more likely to be sensitive to news
indicating peace than to news OF an
opposite character.
The indications are that the war
may last as long as at one time fear
ed: and, if peace should come within
the next six months, the financial ef-
fects will prove less disastrous than
anticipated as all the belligerents are
showing a greater ability to meet the
costs than was calculated upon. The
war, therefore. while still a matter OF
great uncertainty. has been well dis
counted in this market, and should not
produce any further material depres-
sion unless disaster occur which at
the moment seem beyond the range of
Probabilities.

HOW BAD SYSTEM
RULES EGG PRICES
Farmers Can Improve Condi.
tons by Insisting on Loss
Off Basis.

Indiana has bad system of market
ing eggs. causing an immense num-
Der of poor quality of eggs to be
brought upon the market. This low
ers the price and reduces the profit
to the producer. Some of the causes
of this condition must be placed on
the buyer Competition is so strong
with egg buyers that they are afraid
to buy eggs '1oss off," for fear of
losing trade.
Some competitors will take eggs
lease count" and since it seems to be
the desire of many farmers to sell
eggs by this method, he gets all the
trade. Some day the buyers are 60
ing to- get up enough courage to agree
to buy all eggs loss off," or according
to quality only, and then there will
be some equality of prices for eggs.
If every farmer in the community
will demand of his buyer that he pays
for eggs on the quality basis, he will
find the average buyer only too will
ing to grant the demand. Popular
opinion can control almost any stu
alton, and If it be the sentiment of
any community to obtain fair prices
for eggs, those prices will soon be
forthcoming.
There are some Indiana buyers who
are now feebly trying to buy eggs
"loss off," and the producers should
surely encourage them. If there hap
pens to be some real stubborn buyer
in community it would certainly b.
advisable for the farmers to ship the
eggs to some other buyer who Will
more than make up the difference in
order to obtain good eggs This is a
condition that can be controlled by
the farmers. They can make it what
they want it to be, if they will stand
together and demand a market where
the method of buying is loss off,
