ENGLISH SAILORS
ON BRITISH SHIPS

New York, Nov. british mer-
chant ships entering and leaving the
port of New York are being manned
almost entirely by Englishmen who
have already served in war and have
been honorably discharged. according
to the ship-visiting report Of the
American Seamen's Friend society
This report, which was made public
today by DR.. George Sidney Webster,
secretary. shows that In four months
the ship-visiting staff Of the society
was in personal touch with practic-
ally 1900 sailors attached to 81
different ships representing IL steam
ship lines.
Although a very large number of
the sailors in port are English sub
tects. there are also a great many
from other lands. These men, ac-
cording to the report. are largely
either deserters from military service
or are avoiding service by coming to
this country. Many of these men are
Greeks who contract for return voy-
age to British ports and desert their
ship on this side without pay. This,
according to DR.. Webster, Is one
reason for tho noticeable shortage in
the supply of seamen which many
ships have suffered from when pre-
pairing for the return trip.

HOG TRADE IN
FURTHER DROP
Dime Reduction Noted at
Start-of-Range $S.75
to $685..

South st. Paul, Nov. 1.-Another
heavy run in the hog division greeted
dealers on their arrival yesterday
morning. The assortment OF stock,
however. was said not to contain 50
many light hogs in proportion as the
run on the preceding day.
Outside news was weak and tho
deal here was sort of sympathetic. at
least ten cents being shaved Off the
schedule which was in effect on the
Monday session which in itself fell
off anywhere from 10 to 15 cents.
Occasionally yesterday salesmen COM
planned of deeper cutting into the list:
Early trading established a top OF
s9.S5 and among the first sales made
there was nothing below $50. This
was paid for real light bunch.
Bulk of the droves cashed between
ss.o5 and 1926. The lighter kinds
sod from 1915 up to So; common
heavy and mixed from ss.o5 to $500
and the choice heavy kinds from
1920 to 1885.
AS at outside points. pigs seem to
be destined to lower levels and yes
terday the buying end managed to
put the general market down notch
or two. There was some cashing
early at $3.50 and 1926 but the bulk
of the crop earned around $S.
There was considerable buying
here yesterday on shipping orders.
Estimated receipts were $4,000
6,767 a year ago.
Marketing at nine principal points
totaled 10000. For the first two
days Of the week the total had

pie feel poorer than before the war.
Everything has gone up except in
comes and salaries. We are in a
small way in the difficult position of
the eligerents-money is plentiful,
goods are scarce. And this is for the
very elementary reason that the
armies are devouring the wealth of
the world. The shoemakers predict
that shoes will cost double their pre-
sent price. Why? Because the armies
of Europe are using leather faster
than leather is being produced. They
must have shoes and we must bid
against them for the diminishing sup
ply of leather. There is more gold and
paper money in the world every day
and there is less wealth. The dollar
5hrinks in purchasing power while it
IS in ones pocket. There are dozen
reasons, economic and political, why

Il action can reduce food speculation
