Chicago, Oct. 22.-Evidence OF sea-
board demand together with slowness
Of huslxing and rural complaints Of car
scarcity tended today to lift corn
values. Pit traders, who at the outset
favored the selling side, found that Of
terings were quickly absorbed. The
December delivery was IN particular
demand, as the outlook for accuInulat-
ing any large stock here soon appeared
remote. Opening prices, which ranged
from u cent OF to Il cent advance,
with December at sL141s to sl.l4ss and
May at s1.oS& TO sl.0S, were followed
by a moderate upturn all around.
Later further gains took place as a
result of the snallness Of hedging sales
and because Of the fact that the
amount OF corn on hand in Chicago
had been reduced to the smallest total
in many years. The close was strong.

Chicago. Oct. 22.-Support which had
been expected for hog values failed to
develop today and with receipts liberal
the market underwent fresh sag.
Receipts OF hogs for the week were
largest since July at 1890. standing
1890 lighter than general average OF
the corresponding week Of the past
seven years, 42.So0 more than previous
week, ASSOC less than same week last
year and $500 less than two years ago.
Average weight of hogs for the week
was estimated at 213 pounds, the light
est since April, one pound lighter than
previous week, two pounds heavier
than a year ago and ten pounds heavier
than two years ago. The seven-year
average for the corresponding week
figured 2e0 pounds. For the CORE
spending week last weeks weight -
heaviest since 1914.
Top hogs for the week $3.50. paid
Monday. or sl.15 lower than previous
week.>ss higher than a year ago and
1855 higher than two years ago. The
same week in 1911 best hogs made
S6.a13 and the seven-year average top
FOR the corresponding week figured
ss75.
For the week eleven markets received
5000. being the largest weeks total
since last July. standing $4,000 larger
than previous week and $4,000 smaller
than a year ago, when the total was
unusually large. This weeks total was
within $4,000 Of the ntne-year average
Of the corresponding week since 1907.
Cattle.
Cattle met with ready sale.
Top for the week was $3.50, that
price being paid on Monday, but on
Wednesday somewhat similar offerings
topped at ST.. and since then the best
sale cleared at hats. being a class
which the previous Wednesday were
worth sl5.5oal5.75.
The bulk OF all offerings landed ar
sS.75dl3-5, and sales upward Of s1a.5o
were the scarcest IN weeks, the meaSer
number at SIS and higher being OF little
consequence in the trade. There were
a good many offerings secured By kill
e-s at s7.5oas.5o after Monday, and
even at ss.so97.e0 sales were quite
numerous. Some Gamer grades went
downward from 3s.2s.
Extreme close on range steers was
largely 50G75 cents lower, with ex-
IRENE instances OF 81 decline. top all
week being sI4.
Weeks receipts Of 1e2.s0o including
AT estimate of 1000 Saturday. proved
around 1000 larger than the previous
record. over 5000 more than the previ-
GUS week and $4,000 more than year
ago. In the face OF the local increase
the outside markets had decreased
number and Chicago had nearly one
third Of the combined total. Seven
markets had $4,000. against $4,000 the
previous week and 1886 900 a year ago.
Sheep.
Holders OF sheep had hard work to
interest buyers.
Local receipts for the week totaled
So, 300. decrease OF 23.so0 compared
with the previous week and $4,000 COM
pared with the corresponding week
year ago. Seven western markets
were credited with 100000. against
33i 900 the previous week and $4,000
same week last year.

BULeARs FEAR kAlseR's PEACE.
Seek Entente Aid to Safeguard Rights
Of Country.

Of Country.
Copenhagen. Oct. 2o-While En-
peror William and King Ferdinand
Of Bulgaria have been exchanging as
surances at Sofia OF the unshakable
loyalty OF Bulgaria and Germany to
each other and of the permanent ma
ture Of the alliance Of the two coun-
tries. Bulgarian agents abroad have
been endeavoring to get into touch
with the entente powers on the sub
ject OF peace and subsequent relations.
Their efforts are declared to be IN
spired by apprehension that Germany
and Austria Hungary. particularly
the latter. may not be over Jealous
in defending Bulgaria's interest at
the peace conference. as well as by
a desire on Bulgaria's part to escape
from revolving in an exclusively Ger
man orbit after the war.
The Associated Press correspondent
Is able to report that Bulgarian
representative recently sought and
obtained an opportunity in a neutral
European capital to- lay before the
entente governments the special de-
.sires OF his country with regard to
a peace settlement. and in ono
sided conversation explained Bulear-
ian aspirations to regain an independ-
ent political status as soon as the war
was concluded and resume cordial Te1
lations with the entente powers.
As the case was presented. In short.
the central Europe idea Of an eco
nomic league. in which Bulgaria
would play comparatively minor
role, does not appeal to the Bulgarian
mind. y
Attempts also are being made TO
get before the public In America and
in the entente countries a defense
OF Bulgarian pretensions to Mace
dan!o and the Dobrudja- the sugges-
ton even being openly made from
the Bulgarian side that Serbia should
be compensated withlAustrian terri
tory from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a
suggestion which In, pointed to as
illustrative OF the attitude of many
Bulgarians toward their own allies
The correspondent, has OF late
heard of considerable Ill feeling be-
tween the Bulgarians and their allies.
Complaints are made that Bulgarian
divisions were compelled to march
long distances on foot while favored
German troops rolled past them in
train. this favoritism exciting par
..-..,.- bitterness the part OF a Sc
lect Bulgarian division from the capi-
tai.
The German attempt to maintain
control of Bulgarias single coal field
has excited much unfriendly COM
ment also In Bulgaria, and Field
Marshal Won Mackensen lis charged
with favoring the Roumanians at Bull
garian expense.
Furthermore, the press controversy
in certain German and Austrian
newspapers in which the Serbian
claims to parts Of Macedonia were de-
Tended apparently has left an indelible
impression Of distrust on Bulgarian
public opinion. an impression which
the public declarations of the German
minister and the interchanges Of cor
dial kilograms between German and
Bulgarian statesmen seem to have been
unable to efface 1t remains to be seen
whether Emperor Williams trip. de-
clared to have been undertaken with
this purpose in view, will prove any
more successful.
