HOGS RUSHED TO MARKET.
RESULT OF PEACE TALK
Food Administration Is Informed
the Pork Producers Are Antici-
pating Reduction in Prices

In anticipation of lower prices as a
result of peace talk hogs are being
rushed to market in exceptionally
large numbers by the producers. ac-
cording to reports received by the
food administration. 1t is shown that
the arrival of hogs in the seven great
markets has been q per cent more
than last year during the last three
weeks. The stock Of pork on hand in
Washington is today said to be in Ell
cess Of normal.
In order to encourage hog raisers to
continue producing a maximum sap
ply Food Administrator Hoover has
asked packers throughout the country
to purchase hogs at a price not less
than $3.50 per hundred pounds. This,
he declares, will insure the producer
a fair profit and will thus go far to-
ward encouraging a maximum produc-
ton next year.
In taking steps to forestall a
diminution in hog raising, Admins
traitor Hoover contends that the entire
world is short of fats and should peace
be brought about with the ceptral
powers, where the fat shortage is ex-
tremely acute. more pork than ever
would be needed to supply the de-
mand.

Messages received here from boats

where the vessel went down with more

Although more than twenty-five
vessels are on the scene it was i'm

HOPES FOR MORE CARS
THROUGH HIGHER FARES
Chevy Chase Passenger and 9th
ers Accept Change in Philo-
+. sophie Manner.

Residents of Washington appear to
have accepted with perfect good hui
mer the order of the Public Utilities
Commission that they pay straight
scent fare on the electric railways.
At any rate. few complaints have been
heard
"One advantage of this ruling is
that we won't need to invest money
in car tickets with the chance of los
ing the tickets" was the philosophic
view Of a passenger from Chevy
Chase. But l hope, now that we are
going to give the roads something
like s1,5o0.000 a year in addition to
their present income, they will put
line"
Conductors carried no tickets today,
But the habit of asking for a quar-
ters worth'has not worn off the pub
lie mind, and the men were kept
busy explaining to passengers that
the day of the car ticket had passed,
as far as Washington is concerned.
The following notice, under date of
October rs. has been posted in it's
cars by the Capital Traction Com
pany:
by order of the Public Utilities
Commission. the sale of tickets for
street car fare has been discontinued,
effective Immediately. and their use
December /. Until that date tickets
will be accepted for fare. Tickets will
be redeemed at the Office of the COM
pany at any time at the sale price,
cents each, or six tickets for %
cents"

MARKET OPENED. Firm,
but REACTION FOLLOWED

NEW YORK, October 2S-At the I'M
mediate opening the stock market
showed considerable strength and fair
trading, the early advances being
marked in Atlantic, Gulf and West
Indies. points; General Motors. 4
points; Steel common. Is; Studebaker.
1h; Texas Oil, 1 point. and Mexican
Petroleum. II points. Some other ad-
vances were scored. ~
Within a very short time, however,
the market began to sag. Peace news
was accepted as an indication that the
war could not be Of much longer
duration, and the problem of readjust-
ment after the end seemed to loom up
before some of the traders a more or
less serious proposition.
Money Pool Fails to Strengthen.
The formation of time money pool
for thirty-day loans had no strength
ening effect.
The down-grade movement continued
steadily throughout the morning, and
was accelerated through the noon
hour. with small rallying power.
One of the streets best known au-
thorities seemed to take bearish
view. and the bears were willing to
take advantage of anything favorable
to their side of the market.
The war group was selected for the
attack point by the bears and they
yielded, and easily.
Advances Wiped Out.
Mexican Petroleum's advance was
wiped out entirely and five points ad-
ditional decline sustained. with a
three-point recovery. Mercantile Ma
rine preferred, which advanced to
1241s. or better than two points, drop
ped back to 119. Industrial Alcohol
extended its loss to six points: Su-
matra lost y net, in addition to its
early gain; Steel common lost it's y
early gain and y additional, to 1887
ROYAL Dutch Oil lost six. points.
Toward midday trading slackened
and the pace during the noon hour
was decidedly slow. with prices show
ing no recoveries worthy of mention.
Action in the Rails.
During the early hours of the ses-
sion the rails showed average declines
of half a point, but as the general
market changed the rails followed the
more active leaders, and losses were
extended to one and two points.
Fractional Recoveries.
In the final hour Mexican Petroleum
regalned points of it's loss and most of
the stocks recovered fractionally only.
