To-day's Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, April
14.-While hog receipts were only
normal today, eastern buyers and
spectators were not as active as yes
terday, and the big local packers had
things more to their liking. The
market opened about steady with
Tuesday but soon dropped to cents
lower and remained there during the
day. Packers were liberal buyers
but were very slow IN Iaklng holu.
The bulk today sold at $7.25@7.35,
against $7.30@740 yesterday; $6.S0@/
$50 last Wednesday; $6.75@6.S0 four

1915; $7.90@8.05 in 1912; $6.2G@6.35
in 1911; and SS.9O09.05 in 1910.

fourw eeks ago $3.50; one year ago
$3.50; two years ago $40; three
years ago $50; four years ago $6.55,
and five years ago 1925.
Cattle receipts today were 10000
or about 5000 more than had been
expected. Good handy weight steers
sold steady with Mondays decline,
but all other cattle were from a shade
to cents lower. Butcher stock
sold freely but nothing very choice
was offered. Calves are selling fully
rs cents lower than a week ago.

ing that no more people come there
before Sunday morning ast all hotel
and rooming house accommodations
were taken. Private homes and tenn
porary camping quarters were crowd
ed, and there was no way OF feeding
the multitude. Many took their own
tents and lunch. and others prepared
to sleep in their automobiles in order
to he on the ground early. Hundreds
of other people from Los Angeles,
Pasadena and other towns within a
radius Of 100 miles started as early
as O'Clock in the morning to reach
the scene at daybreak.
This dramatic Easter Service recog-
nizes no creed, and bars none who are
able to get within hearing distance.
This year. Rev. Charles Edward
Locke OF the First NJ. 4. Church OF
Los Angeles was the principal speak
er. There is something in the great
voice OF a multitude that inspires the
'uplifts as they sing in chorus, The
Holy City" or in the Gross of Christ
Glory" AS the number OF those max
ing the pilgrimage has grown year by
year, greater need has been felt for
a volume of melody to lead the vast
throng. Carl Bronson and choir oil
100 voices from Los Angeles led in
the singing, and Mrs. Carry Jacobs
Bond wrote an Easter anthem, the
solo parts of which were sung by Miss
Marcella Craft. There were prayers
and criptural readings by clergymen
of various denominations and in one
voice the great concourse recited the
Lords prayer.
- - -
Shortly after four o'clock the bug
Ter at the Inn sounded his clarion
notes. and almost instantly 1t seemed
the whole town was awake ana IN
motion toward the cross. There were
vehicles of all description in the pro-
cession, from the 1915 model six.cyiin.
der down to old Spanish carretas, and
the winding ways were so narrow IN
places that the advance of the whole
procession was limited by the speed
of the slowest vehicle. By far the
greater part of the crowd went up
afoot, Drawing steep trails and tortu-
Gus paths. Early as the -towns-people
and hotel guests were on the ground,
they found hundreds ahead of them,
many travelling all night to reach the
shrine by day break.
The impressiveness of the scene is
indescribable While church services
especially on Easter,-are always
beautiful, this wide open temple
seems to lift one up nearer the throne
of grace and give him different view
of the works of God. Then to know
that people of all denominations are
here uniting in the one central idea
of all Christian religions,-that of rev
erence to the birth of their Savior
without animosity or technicality, is
just cause for rejoicing. AS the serv--
ices closed, the throng with happy
faces and hearts filled with good will
toward man, slowly dispersed down
the slope and melted into the valley.

OF DRY QUESTION
ARBoR DAY.

During quite number OF years, the
governors OF Iowa have issued proc
lamations and have designated an
arbor day. And very few people have
given attention to these proclama-
lions. In the meantime, the supply of
timber on the upper Mississippi has
been exhausted, and Iowa has no tim
Der OF her own and gets what she
needs from the Pacific coast or from
Dixie land In either case, it comes
high. And the fact that lumber Is high
is apt to set quite number of people
to thinking. Hence the arbor day proc
lamation. of 1915 may attract more at
tention than has heretofore been the
case.

Few Cattle On Feed.

Chicago, April Alt is generally
believed that not more than half as
many cattle are on feed as a year ago
at this time. In territory tributary
to Chicago this condition is due main
ly to the effect of the quarantine reg
ulations which have prevented ship
ments of feeders to the country.
Predictions are that cattle prices
will be relatively high for the next
six months on this account.

at the hands of the Germans, was at
one time one of the most flourish

population of almost 100000. Like

reminders of it's past greatness in its
Cloth hall, Guild halls, and churches,

have now been laid in ruins by Ger
