Des Moines, Jan. 29.-Many of the
shippers of Iowa are indignant over
the appointment of Louis d. Brandeis,
of Boston, to be member OF the
United States supreme court. Accord
ing to word received at the state house
portests are being prepared in a num-
Der of Iowa cities against the confir-
nation of the appointment. There is a
divided opinion on the Barndeis matter.
Some of the social workers of the state

they favor his stand on the eight hour
question. minimum wage and other So
cial problems.
Action Costly to State.
But the shippers Of the state in great
numbers are decidedly opposed to
Brandeis. They declare that his ac-
ton in the eastern rate case and the
influence on the western rate case has
cost the state of Iowa several millions
of dollars annually in increased freight
rates for which there Is no warrant.

Hog Prices Gain Sharply.

Hog Prices Gain Sharply.
Did you ever notice that there is al
ways one live stock market on the
boom? ~, &c., Is
This time it is the hog market. while
cattle and sheep are showing dizziness
However, sheep are still selling re-
markedly high. and cattle are the only
stock not netting big returns. Low
priced cattle are selling much higher
than last fall. but the best grades are
not paying out
Hog prices have advanced contin-
ually since last December and are still
going up, present level standing the
highest since last October. @--.-.
Previous to last Christmas the best
hogs were selling at $3.50. with the
average of all grades down to 1913. the
lowest since 1912. Compared with that
time present sales are around $3.50
higher on tops, while the average price,
because of a narrower range, stands
about $1.75 higher. ..-
The sharp advance came about in the
face of liberal receipts, and the jan
uary run Will be the largest on record
for any month. The upturn. under
such conditions, is all the more re-
markable and shows that packers are
finding q vast outlet for the product.
They admit large profits. and as long
as the consumption continues of liberal
volume the market will be sustained.
The advance was predicted by sellers
and buyers, so that it Is no surprise to
the trade.
Farmers are shipping literally be-
cause Of an abundance of soft corn,
and they appreciate the recent ad-
vance, as they are not in position to
hold their stock back.
The upturn in prices despite the lib
eraI receipts here and elsewhere may
be responsible for big production this
spring and fail. Last December, when
prices were so low that they were UNI
profitable, many farmers and shippers
were heard to say that they wouldn't
raise another hog.
This talk was not overlooked by the
packers, and undoubtedly much of their
support OF the market in recent weeks
is due to the fact that they want to
stimulate production 80 that the feast"
will not be followed by famine"
Whatever their reason for supporting
the trade, the producer is profiting by
the recent upturn. OF course, some
of the increase in receipts is offset by
the abnormally light weight of most
offerings.-Chicago Drovers' Journal.
