st. Louis, July Hog prices contin-
ued on the upward trend at the Ma
tional stock yards today, selling at
$22.10, a new western record. Several
lots were sold at the top price. The
previous record here was $21.95.
Chicago, July 2.-Hog prices jumped
far above yesterdays figures, which
in turn had exceeded any previous top
record. The latest altitude is S22 a
hundredweight, a rise of rs cents in
twenty-four hours. Increased export
demand for food products was the
generally accepted reason for the con-
tinued unprecedented advance.
The greatly augmented value OF
hogs draws attention to the fact that

country. The estimate of the bureau

Berlin. July 1.-The communistfc

there are indications that the strike

ers to bring every available worker to

noon. does not provide for a rate con-
cess!on Yet it is probably more ef-
fective than flat oue-cent fare. 1t
provides that If a man cannot buy a
ticket, he shall be taken to the wheat
fields and permitted TO pay for his
transportation after he earns the
money.
Relief will come to the wheat grow
ers by virtue of the fact that funds
aggregating thousands of dollars for
transportation expenses will be saved.
Hundreds OF farmers had pledged sub
scriptions for the payment of railroad
fares for men unable to buy tickets.
The Hines order saves this money to
the farmers. At the same time it sus-
tains the former decision OF the rail-
road administration in refusing to
grant one-cent rate concession.

BY the operation of special trains
and the granting Of free or credit rides
to men unable to buy tickets. there is
apparently little doubt as to the ability

The order by Director General Hines
followed a conference in Washington

Hines was advised that hundreds of
thousands Of bushels os wheat would
be lost unless the railroad Administra-
tion took hasty action. Following the
conference. kilograms were sent to
railroad officials in Topeka directing

The Second division, according to
