Almost Spectacular.

The advance in cattle has been al
most as spectacular during the last
three weeks as has that in hogs, and
many in the trade are still puzzled as
to how II happened.
The advance in hogs, eliminating
cheap pork as competitor Of beef,
was undoubtedly an uplifting influence
and the fact that liquidation had run
it's course has furnished a tonic, as has
the reopening Of the stocker and feed
er outlet at Chicago, through which
competition has been broadened. One
item not to be overlooked is that win
ter beef making in the East has been
on limited scale, necessitating heay-
Ter drafts on Western markets to sup
ply the populous East with beef, con-
dition likely TO exist until grass be-
comes a factor, and any considerable
supply from that source is some dis
tance away.
For year past territory east OF
Chicago has been liquidating cattle
and replenishment has been neglected
for many reasons, the principle ones
being disease and inability to buy thin
cattle at Chicago, the logical market
for that region. With corn n-belt feed
lots partly empty and the Southwest
ern beef crop short present prices look
legitimate.
Live mutton trade has been conduct
ed on such remarkable high price lev
els all winter and particularly since
the turn of the year, as to forestall any
such sharp advances in recent weeks
as have occurred in the cattle and hog
trade.

BIC ADVANCE IN
Cattle and HOGS
WITHOUT PRECEDENT IN MANY
YEARS, AND DISAPPOINTING
TO THE PACKERS.

Chicago, March 10.-Phenomenal ad-
yances have been shown in the cattle
and hog markets this week
No such spectacular hog trade'as the
present has been witnessed since the
spring of1910, when semi famine sup
ply conditions existed and sll 20 per
cwt. was paid at Chicago. That mark
ct stimulated production all over the
country. resulting in the largest pig
crop ever produced in 1915, on which
packers had based expectancy of a
So 50Gb6 trade during the present win
ter. Liquidation OF light stuff during
December, owing to the failure Of the
corn crop in many localities, forced
prices down to SIS rs to So 25 per cwt.
at that juncture, but with the turn OF
the year rapid enhancement occurred
and between the December low spot
and the high spot this week the mar
ket advanced about SO so per cwt. un-
der the influence OF the hottest compe-
tition ever witnessed at the stockyards.
on the low day last December top hogs
sold at Sc SO, and the average price was
&c. on Thursday of this week the top
was So so and the average SO 6S, with
the $40 top quotation reasonably cer-
tain TO develop before the week end.
This phenomenal advance occurred
during a period Of heavy receipts at
all markets prior to March, and fur
nishes growers with a convincing dem
onstration that the day Of cheap hogs
is over. Both beef and mutton were
high, and the masses went to pork,
which, coupled with an abnormal for
eign demand for pork products and an
excellent Industrial situation, made the
advance irresistible.

HATES TO Be CALLED
JOHN Us BROTHER

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Oct. 14.-Frank
Rockefeller. the youngest of the three
brothers, who was recently brought in
to prominence by Williams effort to
bring about a reconciliation between
him and John D.. is an interesting fig
ure.
Although poor when compared to the
other two Rockefellers, Frank is not
by any means an object of charity.
He abhors above all else to be spoken
Of as John D. Rockefeller's brother"
Williams effort to end the feud
which has existed since 1898 failed
and John D. and Frank are still as
far apart as ever.
1t is estimated that John D. Rookie
feller's wealth Is S1,000,000,000 The
sum involved which, it is alleged, led
to the feud with his brother was but
$780, 900.
The three brothers we're in Cleveland
simultaneously for the first time in
many years, and William Rockefeller
thought it was a most excellent op-
portunity to bring the family feud to
termination.
He did his part but the result was
complete failure. Mr. and Mrs, Rookie
Teller drove in an automobile to the
home of Frank Rockefeller, at Wick
life. He was absent from home, but
William Rockefeller talked with Mrs.
Frank Rockefeller and was assured
there was not a chance OF bringing
about q reconciliation.

HORRIBLE MISTAKES
IN DUBLIN REVOLT

DUBLIN. Oct. 1.-THE isolated
tragedies OF the recent rebellion In
Dublin would provide material for a
gruesome blood curdling volume. A
Poe or Maupassant might find in them
the inspiration for classic Of horror.
] have been present at all the pub
lie inquiries beginning with the in
quest held In the middle of May last
on two men whose bodies were found
In the cellars Of house in North King
street, and ending with the Royal Com
mission which has just finished its
labors.
To hideous blunders the most
p,tiful Of these tragedies were due.
The case to which Sir John Simon and
his fellow commissioners gave search
ing, patient and impartial investiga-
tion was the result of mistake on the
part of Captain ]. c. Bowen Colthurst,
Royal Irish Rifles, now confined in
Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum,
England, during his Majesty's plea
sure" for the murder of Skeffington,
Dickson and MacIntyre. He thought
he was shooting three Sim Feiners,
and he was in CHASTITY error.
But even II they had been insurg-
ents. Captain Colthurst would have
been none the less guilty Of triple
crime in ordering the shooting Of his
prisoners without trial.
There Is consolation Of some sort
In remembering that the men were
not long tortured by the thought OF
the doom which the mailman had pre-
pared for them. Up to the last mo-
ment they had no hint of what was
coming.
All the witnesses agreed that when
the three victims were ordered out of
tn cells In which they had been con.
fined on Wednesday morning, April
a6, they did not realize what was be-
fore them Not until they we're lined
up against the wall in the barrack
yard did they know that their hour
had struck And then, as Sir John
Simon said last week, they faced death
with dignity and, as counsel for the
military authorities added, without
any craven fear in their hearts"

SON TO REVENGE
DEATH OF FATHER

LONDON. Oct 14-Seeking to re-

William Doubleday Of this city has

erbury, sixty miles from here and en-
listing in the Bluffs, his fathers regi.
ment.
Ten weeks ago ne made bundle Of
his clothes, put all his money, six
cents, in his pocket and started to
walk to Canterbury. He got to Chat
ham, but was SO exhausted he had to
turn back home again-to get some
thing to eat-he admitted. Within a
fortnight, he set out again. This time
his strength and money lasted to Sit
tingbourne and once more he reached
home in famished condition.
Two weeks ago he started his third
attempt. He marched all the way to
Canterbury and made his fifty cents
last the journey.
At the headquarters Of the Bluffs, sad
to relate, his statement that he was
lust eighteen" was not believed, for
WEAKNESS and hunger made him look
even younger than he really was. He
was told to go home and grow little
more Y. NJ. c. A. officials took him
into one Of their army huts and tele-
graphed to his mother to send him a
little money. With this to pay his ex-
penses he walked all the way home

FORMER RICHMOND MAN HELPS
ENGLAND SOLVE WAR PROBLEMS

Notwithstanding his onerous duties
for his company Mr.. Thornton has
found time to organize comprehen-
sive scheme for the distribution of
the egg supplies from Norfolk and Suf-
folk by means of the great carrying
concern which he controls. BY his
initiative the stock of eggs and poultry
can be increased by $2.500.000 without
In any way interfering with the pres
ent stock or output.
Proposes Big Society.
What Mr.. Thornton proposes Is the
formation Of society which will cover
the whole area of the two large coun-
tries named. The vans and trucks OF
the Great Eastern Company will be
placed at the disposal of the egg So
ciety to establish collecting depots
over the entire area. In addition, the
company will give exceptional privi.
leges to shippers, such as supplying
sites for depots in the company's
yards. reducing freights according to
quantities OF eggs shipped and other
valuable concessions.
An egg and poultry demonstration
train will shortly be run consisting of
several vans especially equipped just
to make people understand what In
creased production really means for
them.
All the local farmers associations,
backed by the Board Of Agriculture,
are warmly supporting the scheme,
which in all probability will come to
stay as soon as it's advantages have
been fully gripped by the people Of
this and other farming centers.
Henry W. Thornton, described in the
above dispatch, is former Richmond
man, having at one time been at the
head of the local division of the Pen
nsylvania.

RISE IN BOY BIRTHS
OFFSETS LOSSES BY WAR

LONDON. Oct. 14.-Bearing out the
popular belief that in q great war male
births increase in number as compared
to female births, the official statistics
for London show that In the last
thirteen weeks reported 1929 boys
and 1887 girls we're born.
This gives a proportion Of LOAF boys
to 1000 girls, which is seven more
boys than the average for England
and Wales before the war.
