SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Nov. 23.-The market
opened strong, with bidding for all
grades brisk. Lighter receipts, to-
gether with the fact that Sioux City
was out of line yesterday and with
the fact OF light receipts attended by
a rising market at Chicago today
were factors.
Urgent orders in the hands of the
shippers were in evidence for the
first time in several days, and ship
pers were fully as strong as the
packers.
The qauiulality again showed up
well, there being an increasing num-
Der of light spring pigs in the offer
ing.
In general the market was the
most active for all grades in several
days, and was quoted as 10 q
higher. Top hogs sold at $3.50,
after being at $17.55 for the last
three days. The bulk of sales was
made at $17.10 @17.40.

sailor, every engineer and fireman and
coal passer knows this. 1t is the first
rule of service at sea.
Thus the new working rhles have a
limit where the time-honored laws Of
the sea prevail. In times of common
danger all rules are suspended except
the paramount rules Of self preserva-

Washington, Nov. 22.-Government
war bond selling in the future will be

Rules regulating the hours of labor
and other working conditions aboard
American merchant ships have been
issued by the United States shipping
board. They deal with every mem
Der Of the ships personnel, from the
chief officer down to the coal passer
In the bunkers.
Recent working practice In the
American merchant marine is reaffirm-
ed and ~crystallized In these rules, and
owing to the present large accessions
IN officers and men to the merchant
marine through the shipping boards
recruiting service, these rules have
certain elements Of appeal to popular
interest.
Could they be read by the shades of
old-time American sailors and officers,
there would be a riot In 'Davy Jones'
locker" That a seafaring man could
have such liberal regulation Of hours
and general moderation of treatment
az the shipping boards working rules
enjoin, would be beyond the belief of
the most optimistic Of ancient mar
liners.
The rules are divided under three
heads, relating respectively to deck
officers, deck crew and engine and fire
room forces. They establish an eff
cheney schedule as exact as that en-
ployed In any modern factory or In
dustrial plant, vet fair to the man
working under them, who knows where
he stands all the time In his relations
with his employer, the operator of the
