to him that within thirty days there

made in the United States"
Meloy, WHO is financial expert,
testified at the trial Of the four men
named with four. others on charges
Of conspiracy to wreck the entente
allies munitions trade In this country.
Rintelen also told him Lamar had or
ganized Labor's National Peace Coun-
Gil to carry out the plan. The wit

was being cheated Meloy said:

Cattle,
Cattle We're in good demnad and
prices ruled firm.
High priced corn still continues the
force behind the liquidations now on.
The runs which are coming are all out
of proportion to the visible supplies for
late spring and summer trade and be-
lief is that very shortly there is bound
TO be a let up in generous marketings
for the obvious reason that the crop
cannot be drawn upon in free fashion
and still permit of a decent sized sum-
mer run.
Ability Of killers to absorb supplies is
not doubted. All season long the de-
mand has been well up with supplies,
since tremendous volume Of beef is
going to fill army contracts here and
abroad and the industrial activity is
cause for q better and broader con-
sumner demand than ever before.---rs'~---'
The consumer is growing accustomed
to current high prices and elevation of
costs Of all other products only makes
legitimate his viewpoint the current
cost Of beef. Pork and mutton are still
higher than beef. and thus there is no
relief to be had in going to vegetables
as a cheaper diet, since these also are
at record cost.
Sheep.
There was good inquiry for sheep
at prevailing high prices.
With the wool market advancing to
new high levels almost daily, killers
were most keenly set to acquire their
quota OF the TAI wuuie;i lambs avail
able. Sellers put the asking price up
so high as to preclude the possibility
of an early clearance, but SIS bids were
forthcoming before noon on several
cars Of the best lambs and four cars
of light Colorados sold around II
o'clock at $3.50.
