Cattle and Hogs Lower.

Chicago, Aug 2S.-A drop OF one
dollar Il hundred pounds on the aver
age for hogs, with lower prices for
beef cattle, at the stockyards yester-
day was ascrlbed TO several reasons
and partly to the general protest
aaginst the high cost of living Market
men said the tendency was for still
lower hog prices, particularly after
the fall marketing, and they professed
TO see Il break in high living costs.
The public has curtailed its buying
OF pork and beef recently while live
stock receipts are large. The eastern
market failed to net as an emergency
outlet, and the packers virtually with
drew their buyers from the pens yes
terday. Export business has been de-
pressed by the foregn exchange sit
uation.
While the average drop for hogs
was one dollar, the difference between
yesterdays lowest point and Tuesdays
high point was fully $50, while the
average drop for beef cattle ranged
from 30 to - cents a hundred pounds
Sheep also sold lower.

hate on the peace treaty rose to the
Interest point yesterday since Tue

Cumber Republican, North Dakota,
had in his address Tuesday on shan
tung. defended on the ground OF Justice
the award TO Japan Of goods stoieh
from China" the North Dakota sena-
tor declared the assertion was "un-
aualiifedly false and that he had not
Justified Germany's action.
This brought IA quick retort from
Senator Fall that Senator McCumber
had defended the Shantuns provision
and had claimed that Japan had the
right to take Shantung. BY this time
both senator's had raised their voices
to "A high pitch and were pounding
their desks.
Senator McCumber. I'm replying,
shouted to Senator Fall that Japan de-
rived the right to Shantung under a
solemn pledge to return it. but you
leave that out of your statement re-
| ferring to the assertion regarding
Japan's unqualified right.
Previously, Senator Fall. who was
| defending the action of the foreign
| relations committee in adopting an
amendment TO give German rights to
| Shantung to China instead of Japan,
was interrupted by Senator Nelson,
Republican, Minnesota, who declared
| that If the committee had made 'mince
meat" Of the treaty, the senate would
brush the action aside. When Senator
Fall said he would enter into no dis
cussion with the Minnesota senator
because of the latter's age. Senator
Nelson responded that the senator
could consider him the youngest man
in the senate" and as one who was
neither in his second childhood in

Senator Fall said he was weary OF
some who wished to make the nation
