FOODSTUFFS CONTINUE
DECLINING TENDENCY

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-Another drop in
live hog prices at the Union stockyards,
where the animals fell off 81 to S1.25
a hundredweight today, contributed to
a weakened grain market, corn drop
ping an extreme Of two and one-quarter
cents a bushel and oats seven-eights.
Dressed pork tumbled, the September
delivery opening at $4,000, an even 81
lower than the last sales yesterday.
Lard and ribs also declined.
The explanation of the lowered prices
traders said agitation against the high
cost Of living was bearing fruit and
that'an outlet for large stocks Of pro-
visions was wanting. 1t was declared
crowded and that unless a further drop
came there would be no outlet for the
meat products,

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Aug 2S.-There was
renewal Of scattering liquidation and
Liverpool selling at the opening Of cot-
ton market today and first prices we're
10 "a points lower with December SELL
ing at 3l,SS and January at 31.S5.
Relatively easy cables and a favorable
weather map were factors on the de-
cline but there seemed a more optimls-
tic feeling over labor conditions and the
strong opening OF the stock market was
an encouraging feature. This led TO
covering which caused rallies Of five
to 10 points right after the call, and
there was probably some buying on a
IlC,7.
In the early afternoon business was
quiet but the undertone was steady on
a little covering influence by unfavor-
able crop advices from portions Of the
eastern belt. The level Of prices was
about 40 points above the lowest with
December at 32.12c and January 32.05c.
Prices weakened under continued
Liverpool selling and scattering liquida-
ton, with December selling off to 81, 10
during the middle of the morning, The
more cheerful view of the labor outlook
seemed to be threatened by the late
forenoon news, however, and prices
rallied to 32.05 for December toward
midday, when the general list held
steady within 8 or 4 points Of yester-
days closing.
Futures closed barely steday at de-
cline OF IL to II points.

that the Civil war had taken so many
men from the country. the Sioux In
augurated n of the bloodiest mas
sacres in the history of Indian war
fare. The Indians were ultimately
overcome by troops and imprisoned
In Mankato. However, President Lin
