Swine situation critical.

p"AhN G1AANAtADh AAAhAAAAs
To some extent a similar situation
is shown in the swine trade at all
Pacific northwest points. Killers here
are holding big surplus Of hog pro-
ducts. Most of this stock cost them
far more money than the present ba-
sis for hogs; therefore, they are big
losers by the present stagnation in
the swine trade as are producers
themselves.
There was no mistaking the trend
OF the swine market at North Port
lend during the week II was down
ward. Seemingly there was no help
for this condition. Receipts. while
much decreased from those of the
previous week, We're still above the
wants Of killers. and this naturally
forced the general range of value
lower, even though a further climb Of
prices was shown at eastern points.
General hog market range:
Best light .L....-...,...$ $3.50 @6,S5
Medium light ...........'6 '670@6.75
Good to heavy .......... 6.5066.60
Rough to heavy ........, 5.50q6.0O
Mutton situation Strong.
Mutton market was the only strong
feature Of the local livestock trade for
the week; in fact. it has been the only
hullish factor during recent weeks
Receipts are not liberal, and most of
the stuff coming forward is of indif-
ferent quality, with the bulk of it pur-
chased direct at country points by
local killers. Little stuff has been
available for the open market and
prices were easily maintained at an
advance,

est in many years, and 10 does not
take much stock to oyernl the wants
of the trade. Despite the scarcity Of
cattle Ia the country killers are get
ting more than their requirements
The overhead expense of conducting
d packing house Is almost as great
during periods Of depression as when
the trade is brisk. Were wholesalers
simply the ones to complain regarding
the lack Of outlet for fresh meats.
there might possibly be some room to
doubt the slowness Of trade but re-
tailers have made the same complaint.
Naturally, when business is slow the
margin Of profit on the limited sales
must be greater than when the vol
ume is greater, and this possibly ac-
counts in measure for the extreme
low prices offered for the bulk Of the
cattle supplies.
Eastern Trade Is Different
To some extent it is really unfair
to compare eastern prices for cattle
as well as trade conditions with those
in effect in the Pacific northwest, be-
cause there is practically no similar
ity existing in the markets for the
dressed product In the middle west
and in the east, where the general
population has received some benefits
from the sales of war materials, gem
eral business conditions are much i'm
proved On the other hand the bus
iness structure of the Pacific north
west is founded TO a considerable ex-
tent upon the lumber industry. While
there has been recently signs of some
revival in the lumber industry, still
the situation is still critical. Lumber
ing interests and railroad construc-
tion work generally call for liberal
supplies Of meats, and with this de-
mand absent. there is a much curtail-
ed output for supplies
There is not the slightest doubt
that prices for cattle at North Port
land are much out OF line with those
in effect east of the Rockies, but this
Is scarcely the blame Of killers. Sup
ply and demand are the great factors
in the market, and just now the sup
plies are greater than actual require
ments of the trade.

WIND AND RAIN
DAMAGE WIRES Of
COMMUN |CAT|ON

A wind storm, at times reaching
fierce velocity, coupled with rain pass
ed through this section of the state
about midnight. The first approach Of
TIE severe weather was heralded in the
later afternoon. Reports from the tel
egraph offices state that the storm
reached its severest stroke in the Gulf
states, as wires were down in the terri
tory of Memphis, Birmingham and New
Orleans.
The Americus office of the Postal
Telegraph Co., through Manager Sam
Williamson, states that his wires are
working locally, but he has only ne
wire throughh to New York. All wires
in the middle western states are either
down or working badly.
At an early hour this morning, the
Western Union Telegraph Co., at
Americus, had only one wire out of the
city working. This line was to Sa-
vannah, but Manager C. w. Clark
states that the linemen and construc-
tion gangs are fast repairing the dam
age.
The Southern Bell Telephone Co. at

BILE locally, but some of the toll wires
are working badly.

SAVANNAH MAYOR IS
IN BELIEF THAT HIS
CITY To OBEY LAW

ATLANTA Ca, Dec. 29.-The an
nouncement by Mayor w, J. Pierpont,
force the new Georgia prohibition laws
when they go in effect next May, has
been received with a great deal of in
trest in the capital.
In his announcement, which was
published here and elsewhere last
Monday, Mayor Pierpont left no doubt
as to his intentions. He declared that
he will give orders to the police au-
tnorities to close every saloon in Sa-
vannah on May 1st and that the poIiel
will carry out these orders to the let
ter.
1t is generally believed among capi-
tai officials and members of the legis.
lature, who are in the opening gun of
bitter fight that will decide the ques-
tion whether Savannah enforces or ig-
pores the prohibition laws in future.
In this connection members of he
legislature are discussing with much
interest the announced purpose of the
Chatham county delegation in the
house and senate to introduce at the
next session a bill reducing the term
of the mayor of Savannah from four to
two years. The Savannah charter was
amended shortly after the induction in
to office of the late Mayor Devant, by
increasing the term from two to four
years Mayor Devant died soon after
wards, and Mayor Pierpont, as chair
man of council, succeeded to the va
cancy.
The Chatham county delegation now
plans to switch back to the two-year
term by putting through the legisla-
ture another charter amendment. Dur

CASE
UNDER EARNEST
CARE Of BOARD

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 29.-Judge E.
L. Rainey and Judge T. E. Patterson,
of the state prison commission, were
both here Tuesday, Mr.. Patterson re-
naming but a short time before re-
turning to Griffin to fill an engagement
there.
According to Mr.. Rainey the COM
mission is very much displeased over
the criticisms of that body in respect
to the Stripping case, and he holds
that all the discussion is much ado
about nothing" Referring to the re-
cent publications and particularly to
editorial comments on the case, Judge
Rainey said:
'As far as / am concerned, l want
to say that any statement that / have
received any letter or communication
of any character from Mr.. Watson re-
garding the Stripping case, or knew of
CT had heard of such a letter as he is
alleged to have written to someone
else, is absolutely without founda-
tion.'
In respect to the card published =
yesterdays Macon Telegraph from the
prison commission, Mr.. Rainey says
the card was not the expression of
two members of the commission, but
OF the entire commission. He says
the card was written by Chairman
Davidson and was mailed by Mr.. Rain
ey himself
The position of the commission in
reference to the future of the matter
is that the Stripping case will be dis
posed of in due time; that this case
has had hearing before the commits
sion heretofore, but that there are sev-
eral others which have had no hearing
and are entitled to some consideration.
They hold that the record in the Strip
ling case is voluminous one; in fact,
cne of the largest ever filed in this
state, filling a box; and tnat it will
take considerable time to review it, but
that it will be given attention and a
recommendation will be made at the
earliest practicable moment. 1t is
made clear by them, however, that
useless agitation will not hurry the
case in any way"
