FALLS HEIR TO 100000.
Davenport Woman Inherits Fortune Of
Eastern Relative


Eastern Relative.
Davenport, Jan. 19.-Mrs. John Nc
CURE, 800 West High street, will leave
Davenport within day or so for Lynn,
Mass, where her brother, a wealthy
shoe manufacturer, died last week,
leaving an estate. the value of which
is variously estimated at between
100000 and $4,000. Mrs. Mcclure is
the only near relative of James p.
Hurley, the deceased shoe manufac-
dispatch received by the Democrat
today from Lynn, Mrs. MCGUIRE is sole
heir to the estate, another sister having
died recently.
When seen today by Democrat rep
resentative. Mrs. Mcclure said: THE
news Of my brothers death comes as a
great shock to me. I left the east a
year ago, coming to Davenport with
my son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Farrell. Mr.. Farrell owns
the Davenport Wet Wash Laundry,
101-109 Ripley street. At the time I
had expected to remain but short
time, but was delayed here. However,
l have been expecting to return at any
time. I will now go within day or
So probably tomorrow"
When asked as to her brothers
wealth, Mrs. MCGUIRE said: "a year or
so ago he was rated at 100000 to
$4,000. He owned considerable prop
erty in and around Lynn and was a
member Of the city council. At one
time he had fire In his factory and
received $4,000 In insurance. He was
widower and had no children.

Chicago Jan. 19.-Shipping demand
was sufficiently active today to give
firmness to the hog market.
While the advance in hogs last week
was of the soda fizz" variety, what
happened at the opening of this week
ought to be convincing that the trade
is on a substantial basis. Armour lead
ership seems TO be discarded and no
body in packingtown is now taking
800 Groves. Eastern demand is cutting
wide swath and the Canadian order,
which is filled with regularity, is a
prop under the market. 1t is easy to
believe that packers will be greedy for
hogs when they can get them around
100 per cwt Compared with cattle
and sheep they ought to be worth at
least that money if not more. If the
country will sit still in the boat and
not rock the hog market will be put
on an 500 basis before long. Toronto
reports a 9.5OG9.75 trade while at
Montreal 1925 is being paid for hogs
off cars.
Cattle.
Cattle were in request but the offer
ings lacked quality.
The market has been giving a good
account of itself and is apparently
headed toward higher levels. The adj
vance since the low spot in December
is anywhere from so cents to 100 per
Cwt.. cheaper steers having had most
of the appreciation. Considering quail
ity and dressing capacity they look
relatively high. but killers appear able
to use a lot of cheap beef and hides
are getting good prices. Unless the
proportion Of hard fat cattle increases,
however, higher prices are inevitable.
The percentage Of beef at western
markets this week is running 40d45
per cent. showing a little increase. but
quality is indifferent and the crop is
carrying few desirable steers.
The advance in hogs is favorable to
the cattle market. When hogs were
on a 60066.50 basis and pigs by the
hundred thousand were selling at 500
a 300, cheap pork was a keep COM
petitor Of beef and proved effective in
holding cattle prices down, but the
present altitude OF the hog market and
the manner in which it has acted are
encouraging. Packers are showing
anxiety to accumulate product and the
rest Of the season will be less disposed
to deluge the wholesale market with
cheap fresh pork. AS the industrial
situation is healthy and diminution OF
fresh pork supply means increase in
Of beef. Shortage OF
mutton is acute and at present prices
that commodity is not a serious COM
petitor Of beef. For three months the
public has been surfeited with the
product of cheap light hogs and rela-
lively higher beef has suffered in con-
sequence.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs met with ready
sale with the exception of the palmer
grades

Chicago, Jan. 19-Wheat-Heavy
profit taking, as result of yesterdays
extreme advance, has held the market
steady and caused a moderate setback
today, but the offerings appear to have
been well taken.
Corn-There was heavy profit tax
ing and some short selling. in sym
pathy with the selling in wheat, but
declines were at no time radical. Cash
market showed an easinesS in sympa-
thy with the futures. A good class Of
buying appeared to absorb the offer
ings.
Oats-Export business has proved
very large during the last few days
and. altho profits were taken literally,
only moderate setback has occurred.
While there appears to be plenty OF
oats in Canada, the railroad situation
does not make 1T possible to move them
out and domestic oats are the only
ones available for export in quantity.
