MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, October
2, 1918-Cattle receipts were $4,000
today, market strong, no prime cat
tie offered, though the best are quot
able around $3.50. Sheep and lambs
sold without change, best Western
lambs worth $16.25, receipts $4,000
Beef Cattle
Trains were late today and trading
was delayed but there was a better
feeling on all kinds with some of the
cow sales a shade higher. Prime
steers would bring up to $40, but as
a rule the extreme high point on
steers is reached in August or Sep
TENDER each year, not particularly be-
cause of lower values in October and
November, but on account of de-
cline in finish and quality. Other fed
steers, either cake or corn fed, sell at
$3.50 to $1,000, weighty grass steers
SIP to SIS, light steers SO to $11,
grass cows $7.25 to $3.50, Gamers
$40 to Sc, veal calves SO to $13.
September cattle receipts here
amounted to AIS ,897head, world s
record for cattle received in one
month, any market. In addition, 60
1862 calves were received here in Sep
tebmer. Kansas City live stock re-
ceipts established new records in
September this year, namely, cattle
receipts in one day. one week, and
one month, these three, all worlds
records. Calf receipts, one day, one
week, one month, total car loads of
livestock received in one day, one
week and one month.
Suckers and Feeders
Kansas is buying freely now, as
large acreage of wheat and favorable
growing weather is acting as strong
inducement. Other states in the corn
belt that have good crops of hay and
corn are heavy buyers, prices steady
this week, feeders 5000 to $14,
stockers So to $12.
Hogs
The recent break in hog prices was
arrested Thursday of last week, and
statesmen secured advances up till to-
day, when great weakness again de-
veloped, sales Is to Is lower. Pack
ers and outside order buyers each
paid up to the top, 1880, for the
best heavy and medium weight hogs,
best light hogs $19.40, bulk of sales
$3.50 to $3.50. A large number of
stock pigs are coming, and the aver
age weight of all the hogs here last
week dropped to 1853 lbs Country
demand for stock pigs is stong, al
though prices are slightly lower than
last week, sales mostly at SIT to $18.
Sheep and Lambs
Most of the supply this week is
western feeding lambs and prices are
sharply lower than a week ago ON all
grades Some 65 NJ westerns sold at
$1,000. straight, other westerns about
half tat were taken by killers around
$3.50, native lambs 81 to SIS.

ORDER HATING
i. s. DRAINAGE
PROJECT HERE:
IS RESCIH0ED

4 telegram was received last n ght
by Lieut.. W. d. Tiedeman, assistant
sanitary engineer in charge of the
goyernment anti-maIarial drainage
project in the vicinity of Souther
Field and Americus, ordering him TO
proceed with the completion of the
project, and cancelIing the order re-
cciyed two days previously stopping
ali further expenditures Of govern
Eent funds for the work
Lieutenant Tiedeman, who was very
reluctant to see the work stopped
NAen it was within three or four
werks Of completion was much elat-
ed At the message permitting him tc
&c ahead, and announced that oper-
ations on Muckalee creek would
be resumed Monday morning, provid-
ed he was able to get his gangs of
wUTkmen together again they having
been discharged list week in accord
ance with the department telegram.
White no explanation Of the latest
is taken to be the result of activity
by the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce, which upon
learning of the previous order, i'm
mediately began efforts to have the
order rescinded and the project COM
pleted. Il was believed at that time
that the original order was sent out
under blanket curtailment policy
which was intended only for the
stoppage of expenditures for strictly
war Work. This view appears now to
have been correct.

WEEK
IN COTTON MARKET

exceed last years outgo by more than
100000 bales. This was followed
by announcement that the present
naXimum prices on cloths will con-
t:nue until January l, regarded as de-
tidedIy bullish by the trade.
However, the most potent factor in
checking the onslaught was the in
flexible attitude of southern spot
holders. News from all sections of
the belt was to the effect that practi-
: Cllly nothing is being offered for sale,
G2spite offers materially above quo
ations, with holders confident of uI-
innate new high records, which every
! sign indicates will prevail in the not
emote future.
From the bottom levels the New
York market recoiled with great
rapidity surging the full maxi
rum permitted Friday, with the New
Orleans and Liverpool doing likewise.
I9t the close Friday New York advised
hat orders for more than 10000 bales
vent over until Saturday, because
nothing was for sale. The New Or
cans market became stagnant half an
our before the close, owing to no of
ferings, with buyers bidding frantic
! lily at the maximum
At the highest January New York
TODD within 20 points of last Satur-
days close, or 27O points above the
bottom of Thursday. 1t was the swift
e,t recoil in history of the market.
From the appearance of the mar
ket it seems as if the beginning of
great boom in market has just begun.
Technically it is stronger than for
many months, tremendous short in
| crest existing here and abroad Liv-
rpool is credited with being short
more than 100000 bales in the New
York market alone. Wall Street. the
South, the West and the speculative
bear element also are short great
quantities.
With the South holding firmly, cou-
pied with only hedge sales permitted,
' here is this short interest going to
find sufficient sales to even up their
| commitments?
While southern spot markets fol-
owed the purely sympathetic
very little staple changed hands.
All spot markets rebounded with fu-
lures.
The action of the market for con-
siderable time depends on the atti-
ude of southern holders. They are
he ones in a position to dictate the
price. A continuation of the holding
movement, combined with other actual
bullish fundamentals, will keep prices
on an upward trend until they reach
a satisfactory level.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
By Victor Barron.
Yesterday

ATLANTA Nov. 16.-This has been
he most momentous week history of
he cotton market, with the possible
reception of the wild price movements
which followed the declaration of war
more than four years ago.
Following the holiday Monday, when
| II exchanges suspended business to
Celebrate the signing of the armistice.
which brought the world war to a
lose, business was resumed Tuesday
MID great excitement on both the
New York and New Orleans exchange.
With initial prices higher, but a sud
en- deluge of selling order from Liv-
rpool, Wall Street, ring profession
Is and the South quickly changed the
curse of the market and values crum-
led the full maximum permitted for
| ny one days session.
The action of the market was COM
pletely adverse as to what the public
expected after the end of the war.
The big drop attracted the attention
| the Government Cotton Distribu-
ion committee, with the result that
;hairman Brand, chairman of the
ommittee, issued an order prohibiting
urther short selling in both the New
York and New Orleans markets; and
allowing only liquidation of long lines
and hedge selling on condition that
an offidavit from the seller follow as-
suring that the sale was bona fide
hedge sale against the purchase of
cotton.
| Nevertheless, the attack on values,
which appeared to be a concerted af~
| ort on the part of foreigners and do
mestic consuming interests to depress
prices to much lower level before
entering the market for their much
needed supplies, continued early We'd
nesday, with the result that both mar
kets crashed again, the New Orleans
! farket tumbling 134 to 1870 points. New
low levels were established Thursday
with January New York falling to
5.35, or II cents under the high re-
ord of September and $40 points
IA a bale-below the closing level
last Saturday.
There was absolutely no develop
ments warranting the raid. Every
thing favored the constructive side of
! the market.
Late in the week there was a COM
plete cessation of liquidation and
shorts, both Liverpool and domestic,
wamped the market with buying or
ders, as the result of announcement
from Chairman Page at Washington
that exports this season promise to

WASHISGTON, Nov. I6.-~--The war
departments plan for demobilizing
100000 men now in camps and can
tonments in the United States was
outlined today by General March at
his weekly press conference.
The plan comprises nine stages.
The first men to be discharged will
be development battalions, of which
there are seyenty-one, or ninety-eight
thousand The next will be the
spruce production division, then the
central training schools and the Unit
ed States guards of $4,000.
Next will be the railroad divisions,
followed by the depot brigades and
replacement divisions, with combat
art divisions last.
The task of mastering out the men
will take some time, said General
March, but already the machinery has
been put in motion and he expects to
discharge 100000 within the next two
weeks, or at the rate of thirty thous-
and daily
Before discharge all men viii be
examined physically to check up with
war risk insurance Men enlisted for
the duration of the war wishing to
remain will be discharged, with the
understanding that they may re-en-
list. These are to receive a months
pay and months furlough.
1t is the plan of the war depart
ment to ask congress that every hon
orably discharged man be given a
months pay, whether or not he re-
enlists He may also wear HE
uniform three months
charge.
