uNsoLD ON WEDNESDAY
Prices Drop From 80 to 50 Cents Dur
ing Day, Making Total Loss During
Week as Much at 81 Per Hundred
For Some Grades-cattIe Offerings
Lacking in Quality.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Hogs came crash
ing down in price today owing to the
excessive supply that owners last
night were unable to dispose of. The
total number of hogs left over from
yesterday unsold was 1929. Prices
were from 80 to so cents lower.
Too many light and light mixed hogs
seemed the most logic cause of the
severe break in prices during the past
few days. when buyers were able to
eliminate most of the advance scored
on the recent upturn. Trade was very
uneven today and general tone of mar
ket was hard to ascertain on account
of the irregular market. Bearish
sentiment ran wild in the hog trade,
but late in the day even at sharp de-
elines many sellers were unable to
get bids on their offerings.
Eleven markets received 10000 hogs
Wednesday or 22,30O more than last
Wednesday, $500 more than year
ago and 1000 more than two years
ago. Total the first half Of this week.

Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality.
The three-da run stood 35,4oo
against 51,175 a week ago and 56,346
year ago. At six markets the mid
week crop of 42sO0 stood $500 less
than week ago and for three days
the six points aggregate supply Of 1885,
900 showed $4,000 cut from last week
and $4,000 decrease from a year ago.
The river markets also showed
marked falling off in receipts this
week as against last, due to the sharp
price pounding there as well as here
last week.
A moderate quota Of the cheap little
stockery stun was here. such going
down to $50 and occasionally some
inferior $50 to 500 pound lots had to
land around 400. though it was a small
general run under SIS and mostly in
odd lots. For the bulk Of grass steers
suited for beef trade 6.50@7.50 was
paid and fat LOO to 1.25o-pound and

Asquith is still hopeful that the volunta-
~ system Of recruiting in the United
kingdom will succeed The premier stat
ed in the House OF Commons this after
noon it was his hope and belief that CO.
ercive measures would not have to be
resorted to.
Expects Response
The premier said he was confident that
the appeal to the sense of patriotic duty
now being so theoretically pressed by
Lord Derbys committee would elicit an
adequate response from all classes, par
ticularly the young unmarried man OF
the country. Mr.. Asquith reiterated that
no decision regarding compulsory enlist
ment could be taken without the consent

James Henry Thomas, assistant general
secretary of the Amalgamated Society Of
Railway Servants and labor member for
Derby. complained that the Earl Of Der
by's circular conveyed the impression
that CONSUMPTION would be enforced after
Nov. 90 That, he declared. would be a
party.
He did not believe that the government
would be able 10 force CONSUMPTION bill
through the House of Commons; nor did
he believe that the voluntary system OF
enlistment had failed
Andrew Bonar Law, minister for the
colonies, said that while at the outset
Of the war he believed CONSUMPTION to
be the best system, he realized that re-
course to that now might cost too much
since il would divide the nation. The
whole question depended upon whether
they could secure by the voluntary sys-
TEN all the men they wanted.
Mr. Bonar Law ridiculed the idea that
Lord Derby intended to suggest that il
every eligible unmarried man enlisted,
those who stayed Behind would be COM
PEELED to join the ecoiorz before the mar
ried men were called on. What Lord
Derby meart was that if there was a
general shirkage among the unmarried
men. then they would be made to enlist.
