@s.75 has taken, big crop OF good TO
choice beeves such as made fully $l.60
@1.75 more money the previous week.
Thousands Of decent to good short led
steers sold at $725@7.S5 that would
have made at least $3.50 week previ-
GUS, and many more thousands OF light
and handy warmed-up and short-1ed
steers of plain to fairly decent killer
sort sold at $6.75 Oils, while DIG
crop of light stuff of common killing
sort had to go down to 1926, as well as
dozens OF loads of little, cattle of kind
that ordinarily find stocker outlet
landed into killers hands for Gamer
purposes down to $5.00@5.5o. and the
poor little grades as low as $3.50.
These latter kinds sacrificed now
will mean shortage of beef in later
months. With world of rough feed
on hand selling them off looks like
short sighted policy. They have come
in big droves from Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin,, and from feeders who
obviously tired of keeping the stuff
in face of present unsettled conditions.
Still a few weeks hence they Will
doubtless be looking around for some
thing to feed, and in all proba bihty
will wish they had kept the stuff they
have cashed of late.
Replacing thin cattle will be hard
task few months from now. That at
least is the impression prevailing in
the trade. 1t is certain that return
to normal conditions will witness a
big gain in values for that KIDD. and
keeping them at home where rough
feed is plentiful would seem better
policy than cashing in at this time
when such stuff can get only Gamer
outlet.
Release from quarantine Of prac-
tically all Of Iowa was responsible for
the excessive supply last week, and In
diana, as we'll, sent big crop. Much
of the stuff had to be yarded in quar-
antine, but the quarantine rrices as a
rule were little different from the free
area.
Trade belief is that the market will
come back within a short time, at least
to fairly remunerative basis of val
ues It will probably require few
weeks of very moderate supplies to
bring about a more stable situation,
tho there is small likelihood that sec
lions which have been in quarantine
in recent weeks will continue to unload
heavily. Last weeks decline should
act as a leverage on the supply unless
cattle holders are simply sick of keep
ing the present stocks on-hand and
went TO get rid of them and lay in a
new crop of thin cattle later on. Just
when they will be able to get thin
stock from the market is conjectural,
but it seems certain that quarantine
prohibition Of feeder stuff movement
from market into many areas will not
be readily removed.
Sheep.
There was no demand for sheep and
lambs.
The bad close last week and holiday
influences are being counted upon to
keep the coming weeks supply down
to small proportions and the trade is

Chicago, Dec. 2l-Wheat: \ little
setback occurred early. due largely to
generous snow covering over the Win
ter wheat belt The market recovered
quickly. however, and short covering
soon carried prices to the highest level
since the high point of last Septem Der.
The trade was broader, with scattered
commission houses buying. cash houses
being less conspicuous, due to the 1act
that the advance in price reduced the
volume of cash business. There was
large volume of realizing on the ad-
vance and while closing prices are at
some reaction from the top, net gains
for the day are IS and q to 15s cent,
the former on July and the latter on
December.
Corn-Corn was irregular, following
wheat early, declining on profit TAX
ing by scattered holders and closing at
gains at u to y cent. The cash mar
ket ranged higher following. largely,
the course of the May delivery. While
cash business was hard TO locate. the
sale of liberal receipts at advanced
prices seems to indicate that there
must have been some good buying.
Eleven hundred and forty-one cars
were on sale, or applied on previous
sales. The country was selling little
corn to come to Chicago. reporting
that better bids were in hand from in
terror and southern points.
Oats-Oats were inclined to drag but
for the strength Of other grains. Az
the close December is 81 lower while
May is u higher. Export clearances
were 92s 900 bushels. all from Balt,-
more. The visible supply showed de-
crease of over 100000 bushels but to-
tai supplies are about 100000 more
than last year
Provisions-Heavier receipts Of hogs
we're readily absorbed and We're, there
fore not a depressing factor. There
was good volume of outside trade and
local shorts covered freely. The mar
ket closed firm at good advances all
around.

To Save the Birds.
rom the London Chronicle.

from the LONDON Cnr0ulcle.
1t is very much to be hoped that among
the measures to be carried through by
the government before the close Of the
present session the plumage bill will
be included. We need not repeat what
We have often said as to the imperial and
economic importance Of this bill. as well
as its interest for all lovers of wild life.
1t passed its second reading by 297 votes
to 15. and would be an agreed measure
but for a few members who reflect the
opposition of the few people concerned in
the nefarious trade. These members sue
ceeded in getting 1t much mutilated in
committee: but though now far weaker
than the United States law. 1t is still a
valuable bill. What should not be for
gotten Is that in the most literal sense 1t
is urgent. Every month sees further sac
ri1ce of bird life. fresh regions despoiled
and fresh species threatened with extinc-
ton. A year gained to the bill is life
gained to some millions Of birds. in "a
world which has great need OF them, and
is now losing them at fearful rate We
already lag behind our dominions in the
matter. as well as behind the United
States; the closing of our large market
to the trade is now Of incalculable i'm
portance: and in view Of the desire of
all parties and the time already spent on
the bill. there should be no question about
saving it.

from the minneapolis Journai.
The supreme court of Ohio has been
asked to pass upon the question
whether an act Of heroism, in which a
man risks his life, compels him to for
felt protection of an accident insurance
policy. The case Is that Of a young
man who was killed at motordrome
in Cleveland when, helping to pull a
fallen motor cycle driver from the path
of other machines. The insurance COM
pany refused to pay the policy on the
ground that he exposed himself to un-
necessary risk. His widow sued. the
lower courts gave judgment for her.
but the company appealed. Surely. it
would be against public policy If a
Suppose the man and his wife had eban

Would the insurance company hold tLet
he should have said: II am exceedingly
sorry, but I cannot save you, as that
would tnvalidate my accident policy in
the event that I drowned?
In other words. must a man who car
ries accident insurance never play the
hero unless he is positive that his hero
ism will involve absolute safety for
himself? Such a ruling would reverse
the opinion of Emerson that ut is
mans perdition to be safe when for
the truth he ought to die" But no
matter what the supreme court of Ohio
may hold In this particular case, some
risks in life will still be worth more
than $500, even If an insurance COM
pany cannot afford to take them.

From the Springfield Republican.
While India is striving to find an out
let for its surplus population. other
parts Of the empire have worries Of
quite different sort. Australia has
long been anxious over the slow
growth of its population. and recent
efforts to stimulate immigration are
now declared unsuccessful The net i'm
migration for the first quarter of the
year falls materially below that for
the same period in 1913, which was
first three months of that year the
total came to 1927 immigrants, OF
whom 1870 were assisted. The corre-
spending total this year Is 5.64l. OF
whom 1856 were assisted. Moreover.
in 1913 the immigration into three OF
the most important states, New South
Wales. Victoria and South Australia,
was less than half that of 1912. This
progressive decline Is disturbing In
view of the resoiute decision to keep
Australia a white mans country, and
it is not surprising that the govern
ment Is making an anxious search into
causes.
One cause. of course. and a funda-
mental one, is the isolation OF Austria
liza 1t is rather a big island than a
which it is separated only by narrow
seas is not a white mans country. The
road to Australia is long. and its peo-
pie are widely separated from the
masses of their race. There Is no such
isolation in the case of Canada, which
touches the United States and is but q
few days from Europe by steamer.
Even South Africa seems near to Eu-
rope in comparison with Australia
That lies beyond what has been called
"the great divide" in the British en-
pire. the interposed colored millions OF
India, and while the actual difficulty OF
the voyage is much less than was en-
countered by the early settlers OF
America, 1t Is sufficient, taken with
other considerations. to turn the scale
in favor Of other colonies which appear
less remote.
