Sioux City, Jan. 22.-Supply fig
ures around the market circle this
morning favored the buying interests.
Chicago had a good supply and all
river markets were well supplied.
Locally the run was estimated at
$500, an increase over both a week
and a year ago. Train service was
improved and the run was all in the
yards in good season. Eastern news
indicated a lower trend, but the local
deal on both fat cattle and stockers
and feeders had a good tone and the
general average was maintained,
though exceptions on fat cattle were
stronger.
The outlet for hogs was judged as
5 G10c lower. Tops landed at
$16.05, while the bulk of sales rang
ed from $3.50 Q16.00.
The sheep market showed only
minor changes, though the undertone
to the market was weak in sympathy
with bearish news from outside cen
tiers.

STRANGE CRAFT DEAD WHALE
An Adventurous Fisherman Secured
Prize.

Farmers along the bay shore near
Broadkiln Beach, near Milton, Del,
were prepared to protect their homes
with their lives when a long, low, mys-
terious craft made its appearance up
the bay. In the early morning light
1t could be plainly seen coming in to-
ward the shore above Cedar Beach.
Then 1t stopped, and finally Charlie
Reed, an adventuresome fisherman,
started out to 1t and found it to be
a dead whale, a prize Of the first mag
nitude.
1t stranded zeal the Frank NAPLES
farm at Slaughter Neck, and was
Viewed by hundreds, who came from
all parts of Lower Delaware in auto
mobiles and wagons to see 1t. In the
morning Reed, with a small launch,
landed 1T at the Lewes fisheries and
will have 1t made into oil.
1t Is estimated that at the present
price Of oil Reed will realize several
hundred dollars from 1t. The whale
was 81 feet long, and is supposed to
have been shot In mid-ocean.
