Various estimates place next Mon

Most of the cattle that arrived were
consigned direct to packers.
Compared with week ago the bulk
looked steady to strong, but the mid

The market has been more uneven
than usual and altho the Jewish holi-
days have had no material influence
on the bear side, they probably helped
buyers to keep the market in check.
Local receipts were estimated early
Friday at 5000 and later at 5000 and
higher. standing larger than expected.
Five days receipts totaled 72,s00, about

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Peace news and
fine weather had bearish effect today
on the corn market. Declines how
ever, were not of a radical character
some authorities leaning to the view
that one Of the ultimate consequences
OF peace would be to release vessel
tonnage and to lead to an increase of
exports. The more general opinion,
tho, was that high prices of food ma
terial went handin hand with war;
and that any definite progress toward
a cessation of hostilities would mean
sharp breaks in values. Opening quo
tations, which ranged from Is to Is

were followed by a further moderate
setback.

afterwards to a rally. The close was
unsettled at $1.177s for December and

Oats.
Oats sympathized with the weakness
of corn. The fact that oats for imme-
date delivery had lost their premium
over future options had an additional
depression.
Wheat.
Prospects Of an increased movement
of wheat from farms was hopefully
commented upon. Receipts In the
northwest continued to show gains.
PccH;S;tinnS in frorr, ,rilla~s were
still beyond what the food administra-
ton could obtain. The weather was
favorable for blowing and seeding.
Provisions.
Provisions showed firnness at about
the highest prices of the season. Scar

ing factor.

will be an intermediate call Of from
100000 to 100000 registered men made
through the provost marshal generals
Office before the second 100000 ma
tional army call Is Issued.
Legal experts hold the president has
the power to order an intermediate call
under section 2 Of the selective draft
act, which authorizes him to fill exist
ing units to their full war strength.
This intermediate call has been made
necessary by the transfer OF large num-
bers of men from the selective army
contingents now reaching the training
camps to the regular army and national
guard divisions, in order that these
organizations may be brought to their
full war strength.
NThe war department has officially
adopted the policy that no division
shall be sent abroad except at full wal
strength and with the number OF re-
serve battalions decided upon as q
minimum from standpoint OF safety
In addition to the thousands O

Hoo Prices Narrowing.

There has been a disposition on the
part of the packers to support the mar
ket for packing grades of hogs, and es-
pecially where they show signs of hav-
ing had corn in their ration.
This, accomplished by limited out
side call for prime offerings. has
brought about a narrowing in the
spread between the common and prime
arrivals.
While best offerings are only around
Is cents higher than the close OF last
week, the other grades in many In
stances have scored so cents gain since
that time.
The narrowing in the spread is a
good thing for the trade and sellers
look for prices to narrow much more
within the next few weeks.
While the range is narrowing. the
general demand displays strength. and
prices should be helped considerably by
present tactics of the packers.
Receipts continue of light volume,
and country owners are holding back
the young stock until II gets more
growth. so that the average weight OF
offerings remains about the heaviest in
two years. ~
1t makes 1. easier for countrymen to
to do business when the price range Is
narrower, and 1t also helps the sellers.
but even now the spread is ocmpara-
lively wide
Farmers" are watching the market
closely at this time. and they will APP
preciate the narrowing OF the range,
although they would like to see 1t
come more rapidly.
The price range will continue to mar
row as the weeks go by unless ship
ments Of light and underweight stock
increases materially, but at present Il
looks as though the new crop Is in
strong hands.-Drrovers Journal
