Cattle--There were no cattle OF any I'M
portance on sale today. For the week re-
ceipts amount to 1921 head, being the
| smallest since Christmas week and smaller
than a year ago by almost 2,e00 head. The
market advanced sharply during the early
part of the week. being quoted generally
csc higher on all kinds of killers on Wcd-
nesdRy. Since that day the market has
eased off, closing with most OF the advance
lost. This would apply to cows and heifers
as we'll as beef steers. Strictly good stock
cattle and feeders have been strong all the
week, while the less desirable kinds have
been slow and weak.

Hogs-Receipts Of hogs were light even
for u Saturday, arrivals of only eighty-one
cars, or 5000 head, being the smallest Of
the week to date. and for that matter, the
llghtest since four weeks ago. The weeks
supply is the lightest since the first week
Of January, totaling 67,a25 head, which is
1900 smaller than a week ago. $4,000 short
OF two weeks ago. only little over half as
large as the record breaking run three weeks
ago. and 1000 short Of the corresponding
week Of last year.
Prices reached new high levels today on
another sharp a vance. Keen shipping de-
mand again featured the market, outside
buyers taking almost half the offerings.
Their first purchases were no moro than 10
@ lie higher, but after packers got In order
buyers paid as much AZ 20c or more up.
Killers also needed hogs. and. as the run
was light to begin with, and shippers were
taking everything they could use. 1t did
not I; Ike packers very long to follow the ad-
vance In fact. once they got started they
led the procession, making most Of their
purchases on a 15daSc higher basis. As
the market was very active, 1t was the work
Of only a few minutes to clean up the small
offerings, and by shortly after . O'Clock
practically everything had sold. Closing
prices were the best of the day.
The market averaged easily zoe higher
than the preceding day. Bulk sold at sl3.25
p1s.45 and top reached 1885, as compared
with yesterdays bulk of s13,05@1S,25, and
high mark Of s1s.30. Values are 65@75c
higher than last weeks close. The big ship
ping demand has resulted In good lights
advancing more than anything else. and
the spread of prices the last couple of days
has been the narrowest In a long time.

HOW STATE STREET DEPARTMENT STORE
NEWS is KILLED BY THE TRUST PRESS

that ever break in Chicago are born
in the big department stores -streWn
along State street. But, as far as
the Trust Press of the town is con-
cerned, a great many Of them also
die in the big stores.
= When an elevator accident hap
pens in Marshall Fields, MandeI
Bros, SiegeI-cooper's, Carson-Pirie-
SCOTS, HiIIma's, The Fair or Ste
vens, in which many workers or
shoppers may be killed or injured,
the Trust Press lays low. The story
may hurt the store. When strikes
occur in any of these stores the loop
papers also ignore the news OF them.
Trouble of any kind that may cast
sIur on the name of the big adVertis-
ers is not carried in the news COL
umns of the big dailies.
On the other hand, it any boost
story breaks, the papers go to it. It
some worker or outsider is arrested
for stealing, the news is played up.
1t all depends on whether the news
hurts or not.
