WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
NEVADA PACKING COMPANY

The supply of hogs during the past
week or ten days has shown a SUBJ
stantial increase The quality has
been better and very few light, unde-
sirable hogs have been received.
We are now paying for hogs as fol-
lows:
Hogs weighing $50 to $50 pounds
where they average over 175.14Ac
Where they average under 175-141ac
Hogs weighing 100 to $50 pounds-.12c
Heavy rough hogs.---.-----..---.--.---..---1
Feeder
Weighed and delivered Reno.
The market on hogs for the past
three of four months has continually
been ahead of the market for dressed
pork, and 1t would seem that prices
cannot go higher for live hogs. 1t is
possible that there will be fractional
recessions in price. although we do
not look for any material decline.
The high market for cereals would
indicate that the hog market must
remain at high level for some time
to come.
Wool Market
The wool market continues to ne
strong, with higher tendencies. and
is quoted as follows:
Fine long staple wool.~--s1.40 to $3.50

Governor Boyle Decides Celebration
Would Be Premature just Now

Would Be Premature Just Now
Nevada will not hold dollar sill
yer" celebration on October 6. nor
any other day until the price has ad-
vanced to 81. 1929 per ounce, accord
ing to decision announced by Gov
ernor Emmett d. Boyle, in whose
hands the matter of issuing a procla-
nation for Statewide holiday and
celebration rested.
In commenting on his decision. the
Governor stated that after due delib-
Grafton of all phases of the proposed
celebration, it would be premature
to hold such a celebration at this
time. as it might have a tendency to
create false impression in the East
regarding the status of silver mining,
and engender an idea that Nevada
and the West are ready to flood the
world with silver. now that 1t has
risen above the dollar mark per
ounce.

pendent, on his way from Salt Lake

smelter conditions, which he said are
most discouraging. The United
States Smelter. the American Smelt-
ing & Refining Company. and the
International Smelling Company all
have a congestion of business. He
reports them several thousand cars
behind with their WORK. and the rail-
roads began an embargo on ore Mon
day that will last until the 25th in
order that they may catch up with
the work ahead of them. Mr..
Thatcher also looked into the coal
situation, which he reports to be
serious. He says that the Spring
Valley Company have orders for
more than a thousand cars of coal
holding over from 1916. He tried to
get couple or cars of coal but he
was informed that his order could
not be taken care of for at least 80

PARIS WOMEN WEAR BR0cANs
Scotch Shoes, With overhanoino
Tongue, Come Into Fashion In
wv, French Metropolis.

From Paris comes word that the low
shoes, which well-dressed women Of
that city are wearing, are especially
meant to go with the new length Of
skirt which the majority Of the French
couturiers have advocated.
Many Of the new shoe fashions have
been taken from those worn by ac-
tresses In successful plays running
during the winter ut French theaters.
Some Of these include low.cut shoes
tied with wide ribbons, the loops stand
ing out In Louis NIL fashion. Others
suggest the interlacing ankle strap for
the low shoes. Then there are colonial
pumps. which seem always to be in
good style, particularly as the accom-.
paniment Of the tailored type of cos.
tune.
The Scotch brOgan with Its over.
hanging tongue Is said to be coming
into fashion among some Of the
Partisan women who advocate distinc.
ton In their shoes. The perforated
decorations of the Scotch brOgan have
been copied In some Of the high shoes.

Blue gingham and white pique 60
to make up the pretty dress and bloom
ers In which the little lass of three or
more years Is CARRIED for play. These
bloomer sets are altogether the most
sensible thing for romping children,
and there are several well.set-up and
attractive models In dresses with
boomers to match to choose from.
They include long and short-waisted
dresses, with belts, and are made Of
colored ginghams with collars, cuffs,
and belts In white or In contrasting
color or pattern, in Bingham, pique or
other heavy cotton weaves.
There are other substantial weaves
in cotton that should be considered for
their durability, now that summer Is
here, and little folks, spending their
time In the open, are sure to climb and
scramble II left to themselves to enjoy
life as they should, they will do just
these things. Kindergarten cloth,
galatea cloth and khaki are equal to
all sorts Of rough handling and any
amount of Tubing.
For average demands, Bingham an.
swers oil requirements. 1t Is made
up In blue, pink, green, yellow or
brown with contrasting collars, etc,
or in plaids with accessories in plain
cOlOrs. Skirts are full enough to allow
complete freedom, belts and bodices

Draped Wells the Vogue.

With the small, high-crOwned, straw
and silk turbans the long draped veil Is
exceedingly smart. These wells come In
fine mesh patterns, with all the decOra-
ton on the border. which Is often very
deep and quite elaborate. SOutache EN-
broidered borders are most striking.
These wells are drnped around the
small turban, pinned ut the back and
allowed to float around the shoulders
and in long ends ut the back. Black is
the favored color In wells of this char
acter, though taupes, grays, browns
and even plums are noted In face wells.
The latter are drawn in neatly beneath
the chin, giving hat and hair n neat,
trim effect. Some wells have patterns
so arranged that the design comes over
the front of the hat instead Of over
the portion of the veil.

Time was when printed cOttOns were
the main dependence Of the rank and
file Of American women, for everyday
wear. Calico, percale, lawn, dimity
and Bingham met most Of their re-
GuIrements ut a time when most Of
their days were spent mt home and
the patchwork quilt fOurished with a
wealth of material ut hand to make 1t.
But with changing times, calico began
trailing off toward the horizon, with
other unsubstantial weaves following
1t, until they almost disappeared.
The kitchen apron and the cotton
hOusedress, being permanent institu-
lions, still demand strong, washable
cottOns, and printed cOlOrs and pat
terms make them less interesting than
they would be In plain colors. Per-
Gale and Bingham hold their own as
the best materials for house dresses
and aprOns.t The percale of today Is
much like the calico of old, and the
house dress of today aspires to being
pretty, original, and fascinating. 1t
is allowed eccentrlcities In pockets,
belts, and in designs that proclaim 1t
again important and foretell the
return of printed cOttOns for country
wear and morning wear ut home.
A kitchen apron Of white percale
with many hair-line stripes of black,
between broader stripes, giving It the
appearance of gray, is piped with
China blue. 1t Is cut, as nearly all
aprons are, with kimOnO sleeves, bound

MANY NOVELTIES IN CAPEs
This Article Of Apparel Seems to Be
Becoming Smarter and odder, But
In Some Cases lmpracticable.

Capes get smarter and odder. al
though, in some cases, more impracti-
cable. White pique for an under waist
coat. for instance, Is not practical at
all. but Is very good to see, combined
with navy.blue tricotine. The cape
ties with black silk how ut the
throat. just below the outstanding pique
collar, and repeats this effect at the
belt of black silk. 1t finishes in a
point ut the back.
Navy blue serge with lightweight
white serge lining showing at the turn
ing cuffs and collars Is the material uf
another one. The back Is a panel at
taching to the front with buttons UNI
der the arm openings. Braid weaves
in and out from the shoulders down
to the waist. in and out of folds of the
material. Braid also fastens the high
collar.
A little cape and waistcoat combina-
ton is in navy blue serge for the cape,
black and white flannel for the waist
coat, and white flannel for the collar.
The one ties with black and white
striped tie. Il has regular sleeves in
II, underneath. which are cuffed with
wide white flannel.
Extraordinarily smart, and some.
what different, is one Of tete de negre
bolivia cloth, light weight. This is
full and straight. high.collared and
broad-belted. 1t Is a coat. except that
the sleeves nre not sewed together un.
dsrnenth. Instead, they flow out and
down into a long, full cape behind
The cape being Joined to the coat part
by the belt, however, gives somewhat
the effect and the feeling Of sleeves
Large black buttons finish this.

A Coat Of Ribbon.

A sports coat made Of ribbon Is
quite novelty. Bayadere striped rib
bon Is used; that is, ribbon with cross
wise stripes in the rOuille or rust color,
on pale yellow ground. The strips
Of ribbon are stitched together, each
crOsswise stripe exactly matched to
the other, so that the coat appears to
have stripes running all the way
around, in body and sleeve, while col
lar, pockets and cuffs have a reversed
effect. A white silk parasol is trimmed
with applidued strips of the ribbon
and there is ribbon reticule to match
the coat and parasOl, and band Of
ribbon adorns a wide-brimmed straw
hat.

Communion Cloth.

The communion cloth of France,
which has always been considered the
finest Of lingerie fabrics, because for
centuries 1t has been woven for the
church vestments, will be introduced
again In America. In the far South,
especially In those countries that bor-
der on the Mexican Gulf, which were
formerly French ard Spanish posses
sions, this type of fine muslin was
much used as In France. 1t will be
used this year all over the country
in fine blOuses In white, gray and bis
cult.

and 1t possesses many merits. There
are elaborate examples, but the best
models are noticeable for their sim
plicity. A particularly satisfactory
example has square neck opening fin
ished by turnover collar at side and
back, the front buttoning over double
breasted fashion, and the waist Sc
cured by a loose belt.

MEASLES VICTIM IS ADMITTED 70
 CITY'S NURSERY

When nine-year-old Charles Plude, of 39 Hudson street, applied to the department of charities. several days ago. for help for himself and three small brothers and sisters, and was granted admfttance for all four to the City Nursery in Fairfield, neither the boy himself nor the charities officials suspected that he was Ill.
 Yesterday, however, a serious sit uation presented itself at the institu- ton, when the youngster was discov- cred to be suffering from measles, and to have been exposing the other children in the Nursery to the same malady.
 Young Plude was removed at once to the Isolation hospital for treat ment, and precautionary steps were taken at the Nursery to stave off a possible epidemic of measles. The boy is not in a dangerous condition, and 1t is believed today that no harm ful effects will be suffered from his association with the other inmates ot the children's home.

]. .DR. r. M. WILSON, EYE SPECIALIST,
 DIES IN PANAMA

f
 Dr. Frederick M Wilson died, sud denly from heart failure at Colon, Panama, today according to a tele- gram receved late today at the Bridgeport hospital, of which institu- ton the deceased was president. The death of pr. Wilson comes as great shock to the medical fraternity of this city, as when he left about three weeks ago he appeared to be in per- feet health.
 Dr. Wilson was recognized as one of the foremost eye specialists in the United States and his ability was known fin many foreign countries. He graduated and was awarded a degree at Colby University, Maine, in 1871. and graduated from Harvard Univer- sity in 1875.
 About three weeks ago Dr. Wilson obtained passports in this city for himself and daughter, Helen B. Will son, to go to Panama, where several days ago the latter was married to James Robertson Murray, British consul of Colon. The wedding was one of the most important social events in Colon for several months.

ENTER SHOP OF JEWELER;;
 LOT STOCK

Frying open a rear window, bur glars forced entry into the jewelry store of Frank Bolchas, at 249 Han cock avenue, some time last night, and stole goods valued at $500, according to a report filed in the detective bur eau this morning.
 An inventory made by Bolchas dis closed the fact that 35 gold-filled watches, IS chains, IA bracelets, and IS rings, had been extracted from a 1show-case and taken away. The bur glars left no clues by which they might be traced.
 It is believed that the break was the work of amateurs. as they over looked jewelry of much greater value than that they carried off. They used a Jimmy to open the rear window. The matter is being investigated.
 Two other burglaries were reported to Detective Captain Cronan, this raorning, one by Michael Schneider man, rooming at 56O Fairfield avenue, who said that upon retiring last night, he left $120 in cash and $420 worth of jewelry on a dresser, and this morning awoke to find both gone. He believed someone had gained adnis- sion to his room with key.
 The other job was complained of by the Hungarian Club, whose lestab- lishment at 226 Spruce street was en- tered, and a quantity of liquors and cigars taken.
