Cattle.
Cattle offerings were of poor quality.
Beef supplies in the east are re-
ported sufficient to supply demands.
Market IS little changed from recent
days, but highest prices ever paid are
in force and this accounts for the abil-
ity OF the current small beef stocks TO
fill Wholesale trade requirements. Rec
ord costs are restricting consumer caS
and likely will as the season advances.
Declines now in force for all except
ing strictly choice heavy steers have
wiped away advances scored in the

cases, particularly for steers selling

cents from the close last week. but on
the higher priced grades the loss since
Monday has about offset gains then

Fear Of government price fixing was.
of course a factor inducing the cash
ing Of supplies by many feeders into
the midweek trade, hut the shortage OF
old corn in many sections and inability
to buy It below $50 a bushel was an
other strong factor forcing the heavy
run into the market. while the fact
that prices in the first two days this
week afforded profits to feeders several
dollars per head greater than any pre-
vious day in trade history, must not be
lost sight OF as having a strong tend
ency to influence many to cash in cat

on the VilliscasaX murder investigation
from March to April 5, for $685.. The
board decided TO pay the bill when the
crowd of fifty or more was asked If it
had anything 10 offer, heated talks
were made by half dozen over the
question Of continuance Of the in
vestigat.on, in which liar. "perJurer,

and a general fight was imminent
when the board quickly adjourned.
No action was taken upon con-
tinuance Of the probe, the board hav-

Chicago. April 13.-Wheat-An anal
ysis Of the sharp advance IN wheat
prices since a week ago Is simple
enopgh altho perhaps not fully I'M
derstood by the public who caused It.
The house wife was suddenly confront
ed with the fact that the shortage OF
cash wheat might continue Indefinitely
because che read IN the paper that the
government expected a crop OF only
43O. 900 900 bushels of winter wheat The
grain trade had been Informed Of the
condition Of winter wheat for several
weeks previous, but no wide publicity
had been given TO the fact. There was
therefore an immediate purchase OF
family -four supplies to very general
extent. MilIers, feeling the fresh I'M
petus Of the -four trade, were forced to
secure wheat. More interested IN Sc
curing supplies than in over the price,
they met competition from exporters
clubbing and the bulge resulted. To-
days advance was doubtless due, IN
large part, 70 the issuance % crop

Company indicating a winter heat
Sleld o. Only 0ou,VVV,VOV JUSTICES
Concentrations in corn are little
changed. As IN wheat, the new high
price made today IS the result OF in
sistent demand for corn, especially OF
the white variety, which Is bringing
wide premiums. Speculative interest is
moderate hence the rapid and wide
fluctuations.
oats-Oats continued to respond
poorly TO the bUllish action Of other
grains. There is selling pressure on
every rally, due 10 the price and large
stocks. The former, however IS rel

latter are not likely 70 prove a dra-

SILVER NOW WORTH
 OVER $1.OO AN OUNCE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Bar sil- yer, which, due to war conditions has been for several months rapidly ad- vancing in price, today sold at over $1 an ounce. It was quoted at $1.005, which is 2 1-Sc over yesterdays price.
 Dollar silver has not been seen in many decades. During the war the price has more than doubled. the met al having sold at 47 3-4c an ounce in November. 1917. The advance is due largely to heavy withdrawals of gold from circulation to meet the si- tuation which the war has developed, necessitating the substitution of sill yer. Production has not been increas- ed and the supply from some sources has been curtailed.
