Prevents Corner on Plumbs

AS the result of this it is thought it
will not be possible for it to be said
that the Republican party in it's return
to power is to be held under the direc-
tion in the Senate of few men, well
on in years, who hail from any part
icular section of the county. 1t is as
serted by Moses and Hale that one of
the principal causes of the defeat If
the Democrats at the last election was
the oligarchic cornering by the South
ern "hog combine" of committee chair
manships which enabled it to discrim-
mate against wheat and in favor of
cotton and to deluge the South with
appropriations for military canton
ments and munition plants.
In the House, too, the Republicans
are preparing to do away with this
domination of the South, and to make
the speaker lessened force in the
making of laws. The great fight over
the Reed rules in the insurgency days
under "Uncle Joe" Cannon brought
about the selection of Committee on
Committees which took from the
speaker the controlling influence ir
naming the membership of all commit.
tees and therefore in largely determin.
ing the character Of the bills to be
suppressed by or reported favorably
out of them. While "Uncle Joe" is
now regarded as having made an ex.
cellent speaker, and while he was sub.
ject to removal at any time by ma.
jority in the House, there is no ten.
dency on the part of the Republicans
to go back to the old way of doing
things.
Speaker Clark and the Democrats
with the South in control, have shaped
legislation with a view to their owr
interests quite as much through the
small number of men on the Commit
tees to as great an extent and there
fore, it is urged by the Republicans, a.
much to the detriment of the country
as they might have done had tn,
speaker the full power he had in for
mer times. To offset this the Repub
licans have named Steering Commit
tee, composed of Mann, Of Illinois
Moore, of Pennsylvania; Anderson, o
Minnesota; Gillett, of Massachusetts,
and Mondell, of Wyoming. A simila
committee will be continued during tn
next session, to confer with the speak
er regularly and to see that the worl
of one committee does not overlap tha
of any other. 1t will go beyond tn
functions of the Committee on Com

which would draw America away from
her isolation and into the internal af-

Chicago, Dec. 29,-Hog prices ad-
vanccd again today, prices being 10 to
20 cents higher than the average Sat-
urday. The market was strong in face
being estimated at $1,000 head. Top
price was Sli2O, with bulk selling
within range of $3.50 and $14.15.
Last weeks trade was featured
largely by narrower price margin be-
tween lowest and highest sales. FRI
days extreme top only q cents high
or than the average. Owing to rela-
lively lower prices prevailing here
than at eastern points shipping orders
have been good all week and this
proved a strengthening factor. The
big packers were bearish, but were
forced to grant the advance at the
close, in face of small supply.
Average weight of hogs last week,
estimated at 2S5 pounds, was one
pound lighter than previous week,
equal to corresponding week a year
ago and thirteen pounds heavier than
the eight-year average.
The weeks run totaled 1893, 800, be-
Ing &C. 100 smaller than previous week,
Shipments for the week aggregated
$4,000, being 500 smaller than the
previous week and 27,6O0 larger than
a year ago.
Cattle.
Cattle market became unsettled to-
day. Run of $4,000 head was more
than the trade expected. While
choice and prime beef steers continued
to sell up to $50. offerings of quality
to bring the higher price were scarce.
Good and choice light beef steers were
more numerous and sold from s14 to
$3.50.
Quality of cattle during the last
week was largely common. there being
comparatively few strictly choice
steers on sale in each of the daily
market and with fewer arrivals Of in
ferior grade steers, prices moved into
a still narrower channel as compared
with the recent wide spread in quo
tations. In the closing session the ex-
IRENE range for killing steers was
1925 to s17.75. as against s715 TO
s21.50 short time ago. The best price
of the week. s19.65. was paid on the
Tuesday market for Is head of Here
ford steers that averaged 1855 pounds.
The top quotation Monday was $500,
while the best cattle Wednesday
brought $3.50 and Friday the top
was s17.75.
The average price OF good native
steers last week was 1890, standing
40c higher than the average OF the
preceding week, 81 80 lower than the
corresponding week in 1913 and s2.15
higher than 1917. In 1911 the average
for the corresponding week was 1855,
and the average for the week from
1911 to 1918 inclusive, was 1855.
Sheep.
Sheep market was firm. The run
today was estimated at $4,000 head.
